00:00We brought Toni Kroos back to that position and that's how we decided.
00:08But I never said, and I'm not going to say that Leon is a bad character,
00:13he's a top character.
00:15The conversation was good and open, he said his opinion, I said mine,
00:18and in the end we shake hands and say we want the same common denominator
00:23that we always had.
00:24We always had a very good relationship.
00:26He fought a lot for me back then at Bayern, I have to mention that,
00:30which I thought was very, very good.
00:34And we found the denominator.
00:37I think everyone knows that conversations like this,
00:40when you send a message that you're not at the World Cup,
00:44are not very pleasant, I think that's perfectly clear.
00:47And I'm glad he came back like that.
00:50He deserved it.
