00:07 >> The same.
00:09 Yesterday we spoke about that.
00:10 So, lose Kyle and Bernardo have been so tough.
00:18 It's not about how important they are on the page,
00:21 it's important figures.
00:22 There are personalities and there are many things
00:24 that are almost irreplaceable for many aspects.
00:28 And because the characters in the team needs one year,
00:32 two years, three years, and maybe the players,
00:33 they substitute these players.
00:35 The quality is there, they are good, but to be the composer,
00:39 you know, to be what they have is difficult, need time.
00:42 And that's why after losing important player like Gundo
00:45 and like every act that is really, really important as well.
00:48 So, lose these players,
00:51 lose two more would have been really, really important.
00:54 That's why we are very pleased that the club made the job
00:57 and the players want to stay a little longer with us.
00:59 And yeah, very happy.
01:01 [ Inaudible ]
01:12 >> Yeah, that is a problem.
01:13 When you have a lot of injuries, the problem is not today,
01:15 the answer is not in three, four, five games.
01:17 So, [inaudible] I'm sorry.
01:20 So, there are games we are going to play
01:21 with the second team, some players.
01:24 Because we cannot waste the dangers
01:27 because Kevin is still out and John is still out.
01:29 Kova, Mateo, I don't know.
01:31 So, Jack, I don't know.
01:33 So, we have to, when you have all the squad, you go to Newcastle
01:37 with, you know, good team and whatever.
01:41 So, that's why now it's just to rest, rest,
01:45 just to recover well, train, feed,
01:47 and try to arrive the day of the game
01:50 in as best condition as possible.
01:52 We cannot waste energy because otherwise these guys,
01:54 I was in holidays, but these guys,
01:57 I was playing 90 minutes and 90 minutes with the national teams
01:59 and travel from Bolivia and from Brazil.
02:03 And it's so exhausting for them.
02:05 You just take a look how many, just all the teams have.
02:09 And look, look, Alvarez from West Ham, you know,
02:11 after 50, 20 minutes, a half time, second half, out.
02:14 Why? Come from, from South America, jet lags, 12,
02:19 30 hours, come here, play against city.
02:22 We treat the players in not a good way.
02:27 We are so responsible in the way we treat the players.
02:30 Last one on the medal please, guys.
02:32 Hi, Ben.
02:33 Just surprising the level of his physicality that he maintains.
02:39 Well, I would say I'm not surprised because I know for seven years,
02:42 but I have to admit that when he has stable and happy and whatever it is,
02:49 he has the ability to have...
02:50 Mum and Dad gave him some genetics that our mum and dad didn't give us to us.
02:55 So this is a reality and he uses it really well.
02:57 And every time he's a better player and he understands better the game,
03:01 with the ball he's much better.
03:03 So all the aspects is really, really good.
03:06 OK, thank you guys.
