00:00 I think what I want to talk about now is that we have to celebrate football

00:04 and that we should celebrate the players, the Spanish players who have won the World Cup.

00:09 And we haven't been talking about that at all.

00:12 And of course, yes, we all have seen and followed the news that things are still going on.

00:16 I would like to leave that now with the people that are working on that and celebrate those players.

00:21 And what I said too, yes, players need to be listened to and they need to, we need to move on.

00:28 And, you know, the women's game has improved so much, but there's still a long way to go.

00:33 And not only in Spain, but I think everywhere.

00:37 There's many, many players, top athletes who still have lots of challenges,

00:40 which I think we should work on all together and stay connected

00:43 and try to make the world better for those players.

00:47 I think lots of people have spoken up, I think, male and female.

00:52 And I hope we keep doing that.

00:53 But for us, of course, it always starts with performing.

00:57 We are here, we're professional football, or well, I'm a professional coach

01:00 and we have professional footballers.

01:01 So what we're working on is really performing at the highest level.

01:05 So we have the visibility and then you have the platform,

01:07 and especially in the women's game, that's, we feel the urgency that we can use that platform

01:13 to hopefully make the world a little bit better.
