00:00 I know already my decision, the only thing is I have to tell it first to the players
00:03 before I speak in public about it. But it was like this, I didn't expect to have that
00:10 situation a few weeks ago, to be honest, I have to think about it, it all happened pretty quickly.
00:16 Virg was number three last year, so that's why he wears it when he starts, always after that
00:20 is who is longest in the club and I think it was most of the time Joe Gomez if I'm right.
00:24 So that's it, it will be an important decision, much more important is the general leadership
00:35 group we can create, we need that definitely, it's a big change for us, big characters left
00:42 the club this summer. But it's how it is, things have to change at one point, it's always clear,
00:48 you cannot keep things going just because you don't want to have any kind of changes or
00:55 development or whatever, now we have it and now we will have to use it and that's exactly the plan.
00:59 And I'm really positive about that, I can see a lot of positive signs in training and in the
01:04 games as well, mostly in training, we train much more often than we play obviously and
01:07 so the boys understand the situation and I'm really happy about that.
