00:00I mean, we are a little bit shocked by what he's doing. Of course, we knew that he would be a good manager.
00:06He was a manager, actually, when he was playing already. He was always organizing the team, bringing that leadership into the game.
00:13But, of course, I think that when he started back in the Academy of Real Madrid and Real Sociedad,
00:18when he moved to Leverkusen, we thought that it was a fantastic chance for him to grow, to start getting experience.
00:25But I think it's been just crazy what he has done. I mean, just making history at the club for the trophies,
00:31not only the Bundesliga, but keeping for the one time unbeaten run is something really, really special.
00:38And hopefully tonight he can continue making history. I think it's fantastic.
00:41The next step, I guess, is fighting next year in the Champions League, continue that consistency in the Bundesliga.
00:47I think that it will be a tough moment and a rough moment in the coming years.
00:51But at least he put his name right there with the top of managers and we would love to see him for many, many years competing at the highest level.
