00:00 Hi, Jürgen. Just to build on what you said there,
00:03 about finishing on a high, four games left,
00:06 what's the process, how do you approach these final four games?
00:10 Step by step, game by game, but we are going to do it differently.
00:14 We obviously played just the other night and play tomorrow at 12.30,
00:18 so in 24 hours pretty much, that's it.
00:21 That's the first game we think about, we are concerned about,
00:27 but then we have the first normal weeks for ages, with long turnarounds, and that's it.
00:35 So, don't get me wrong, nobody gave up, we just need to be realistic.
00:41 I think both of them must lose two games, first of all we have to win four,
00:47 and they have to lose two games.
00:51 They didn't lose two games, I don't know since when, so why should it start now?
00:55 But if it happens we have to be there, stuff like this.
00:57 That's the situation, I'm not this kind of guy who's like, "We will be 100 per cent,
01:02 "we get them and everybody thinks it's a bit dumb,"
01:06 or what it might be, but not in that way.
01:08 So, yeah, that's it, that's the approach.
01:12 How I said, I didn't like our football and I hope I can help the boys to play better
01:18 and much more positive football again.
01:20 And as for West Ham, they've been a little bit of a mixed bag this season,
01:25 you said it before, they'll need to show a reaction.
01:27 No, I don't say they need to show, I think they want to.
01:31 It's not about me telling them what they have to show,
01:34 I would hope for a lot of things, but not that they show a reaction.
01:37 What have you made of them so far, particularly over the last few games?
01:42 David is one of the best colleagues, we don't have time to spend together,
01:47 but we spoke over the years a lot before games,
01:51 like him a lot, respect him a lot.
01:55 I think he's doing an incredible job, to be honest.
01:58 I like the team they have, offensively really talented, really talented.
02:04 Good transfers.
02:07 Bowen said it a couple of times, one of my favourite players,
02:11 I like a lot the way he developed since he came from Hull.
02:15 Kudas, super-talented, Paqueta...
02:18 Michael Antonio, top striker, so that's really...
02:24 And when Bowen plays up there, they find another solution, these kind of things.
02:29 Walbro, super-smart, signing for West Ham,
02:33 and then all the other guys settle around.
02:37 I think I heard once a press conference of David,
02:42 when he said, "What do you want us to achieve?"
02:45 So there are six teams in the league that have to be, at this moment in time,
02:49 above West Ham. Not all of them are, but I would say they have to.
02:56 And that means Seventh is pretty much the best you can achieve,
03:00 and they did that and better now for a few years,
03:03 I really think he's doing a ridiculous job, to be honest.
03:06 Ridiculously good job. And that's it.
