00:00 "Darwin is full of desire, you see this in each game.
00:05 If we would only judge players on the goals, that would be so unfair.
00:10 Because in our way, always when we reached our targets,
00:15 when we really were there to compete, it was always about the collective.
00:19 I feel that there's a good connection between Mo and Darwin, for example.
00:22 The way they see each other, assist each other.
00:26 And I feel above everything that Darwin is playing a much better season than last year.
00:31 The way how he defends for the team, the way how he controls the centre
00:36 and at the same time puts pressure, the way he goes, the way how he chases back,
00:40 his counter-press as well.
00:42 He helps us a lot when we are deep and we can play with him as a reference.
00:47 So he does that much better.
00:48 This guy is full of fire and that's what our stadium likes.
00:52 And that's what we need as well, to lead the line in this way.
00:56 It can only become better, it's a good thing.
00:59 It's always with goals. If you create a lot, the goals will come naturally."
