00:00 I don't want them to behave like one.

00:02 I want them to behave like they are now.

00:06 I want them to behave like they were before they got into the professional game.

00:11 But anyway, when you get to that level, you don't get away with changing habits.

00:19 You've got to be even more committed.

00:20 But I know, I feel like it.

00:23 It's a funny one because obviously it's not far away from here now.

00:28 But I see Jeremy Doku that goes to City.

00:34 The only thing I want to say, the only comparison I want to draw is that you can see it before.

00:41 The same way I feel that in our squad, I can see it already.

00:46 That's why we want to get over that hurdle of the first year.

00:51 That's why we want to make sure that these players are at the club for some time.

00:56 Because I feel we'll benefit from their development and progress with them through the league.

01:02 That's the goal.

01:03 It's a little bit of a fine line always.

01:06 It's a really fine line.

01:08 But we're trying to be from a situation where we know it's going to be tough to a situation

01:17 where you can look upwards.

01:19 And the steps have been...

01:20 But we have the players for that and that's exciting.

01:22 The hardest thing is really to associate talent to character.

01:28 You can't underestimate that.

01:29 I've seen so many talented players.

01:31 It's a cliche but it's so true.

01:34 But the distance, the difference gets so big between year one and year three or four or

01:39 five if the character isn't the right one.

01:45 We've done our best to recruit good characters, which is the reason why when you ask me all

01:48 these questions about competition, players not being happy, I'm sorry, go and ask these

01:53 questions in the top six clubs or whatever.

01:55 Not here.

01:57 And they know.

01:58 Before they sign, I tell them.

02:01 And we agree to why this is the right place for them.

02:06 Whether everything happens in year one or it happens in year two and three, it's a pathway

02:10 and they've got to commit to their habits and standards.

02:13 And that's why I feel that this is the right place for the talents to get to that level.

02:20 And also we've got the right amount and quality of senior players as well in terms of character.
