00:00 It's a mindset thing for me, every game is a must-win.
00:02 I've never been raised that way.
00:05 From the age of six, for example, I'll give you an example.
00:07 From the age of six I've played in a team in Anderlecht where you had to win every game.
00:15 We went to tournaments in Europe and we had to win every game.
00:17 So it's something that's in my blood.
00:19 I can't not say I want to win.
00:21 It's a must-win game.
00:23 I have to win every game.
00:25 Sometimes you do that.
00:26 I've been involved as well in football for long enough to know that you put a calendar
00:29 and sometimes you have the same amount of points but it flips.
00:32 You get the points against the teams that you didn't expect to get the points and you
00:35 lose them against the team you expected to get the points.
00:38 I think it's a mindset thing because when you have the attitude of wanting to win every
00:43 game like we did last season, like we continue into this season, what it does is it sets
00:49 high standards for everyone.
00:52 You don't go into a game saying I want to win with having a bit of a week where you
00:57 just cruise through it.
00:59 No, if you want to win every game it's a mindset that you create by demanding the best
01:06 of everyone every day.
01:08 That goes on in the background.
01:10 Whether the results show it or not, it just lives in the team.
01:13 It depends how you look at it.
01:15 Of course, yeah, every time.
01:17 I don't know why you would ever set up a team to do any different.
01:21 But what I'm saying is it depends how you look at it in this sense.
01:25 You have a collection of solutions that will say, OK, maybe you put the players with the
01:35 most quality on.
01:38 That could be players that are new players, that are maybe not embedded into what you
01:42 do yet.
01:43 Or you could say I put the players in who know the system the best.
01:46 But that might be players where maybe you don't have the option to solve a problem one-on-one
01:51 or with speed because it's two different ways to approach this thing.
01:57 And the answer is really when you do it, you learn as it happens.
02:02 You learn as it happens.
02:05 There's a lot of theories around.
02:07 But if you look long enough, you see that there's theories for every way of solving
