00:00First of all, Arne, obviously Virgil committing his future to the club on the back of Mo doing the same.
00:04What kind of statement do you feel the club is making by tying those two down?
00:08It tells you that we want to keep our best players,
00:14the players that have played a great season for so many years in a row now,
00:19and that we are able to keep them when they are free agents,
00:23tells you probably the ambitions we have for the upcoming years.
00:28I'm really happy that both of them extended Virgil.
00:33We've spoken about Mo last week and Virgil has been so important for us,
00:37defensively, offensively, in and around the dressing room.
00:41Great personality and a great football player.
