00:00 Yeah, firstly I think Kira is a great player and a great person. She's a
00:04 positive vibe for the team, a good energy. I think she brings, she is still very
00:10 young and already brings a lot of positive things in her game. She is
00:14 very physical, is brave when she has the ball, is good in driving with the ball.
00:19 So I think I definitely see her strength as well in attacking the space
00:24 in front of her. Yeah, I think as an experienced player I try to maybe help
00:29 her a little bit with her defensive positioning. I think that's something
00:33 which obviously as a young player maybe you don't really need to have that
00:37 structure yet. You have players around you, you're helping you with that. But I
00:40 think she is somebody I can see a huge potential and I think the club as well
00:45 because if you sign a player like her you obviously plan for the future.
00:49 I see my role a little bit in helping her in the maybe defensive part of
00:54 the game but attacking wise and with the ball, with driving with the ball, I see
00:58 big, big qualities in our game.
