00:00 This is the first time you've spoken since the ownership of the club was confirmed
00:06 and Jim Ratcliffe obviously gave his interviews earlier this week.
00:10 What have you gathered from him about the demands on you and the demands on the team for the rest of the season?
00:19 It's not from his press conference, so we speak a lot.
00:24 We had many conversations with him and Dave Beresford about this club,
00:34 about the team, about structures.
00:37 We are very aligned, so I embrace the ambitions.
00:42 I think it totally fits with the ambitions I had when I came in.
00:48 We are in that project and for me I'm now over 19 months in.
00:55 I see we're going in the right direction.
00:59 We have had setbacks in the second season, but you see the team coming.
01:04 You see the squad progressing and developing.
01:07 Just keep going in the process, work hard on the training spits, work hard during games.
01:14 Of course, it's very important to have the players fit, but also to construct a squad which is robust.
01:23 I'm sure we will be very strong and we will be even stronger when we add to this squad.
01:30 So, even more qualities.
01:34 Do you get the feeling from him that he is confident in you to deliver the vision that he outlined?
01:41 Absolutely. I have that feeling.
01:44 We have so many talks, we are very aligned.
01:49 We have the same ambition and we are very aligned in the process.
01:56 When he's very ambitious and when he obviously wants to get things done very quickly,
02:01 how much more pressure does that put you under and how much more pressure are the players under?
02:07 Nothing. No more pressure because we have the same ambition.
02:12 We have the same targets.
