00:00 I mean we are a little bit shocked by what he's doing. Of course we knew that he would be a good manager.
00:06 He was a manager actually when he was playing already. He was always organising the team, bringing that leadership into the game.
00:13 But of course I think that when he started back in the academy of Real Madrid and Real Sociedad, when he moved to Leverkusen,
00:19 we thought that it was a fantastic chance for him to grow, to start getting experience.
00:25 But I think it's been just crazy what he has done. I mean just making history at the club for the trophies,
00:31 not only the Bundesliga but keeping for the one time unbeaten run is something really, really special.
00:38 And hopefully tonight he can continue making history. I think it's fantastic.
00:41 The next step I guess is fighting next year in the Champions League, continue that consistency in the Bundesliga.
00:47 I think that it will be a tough moment and a rough moment in the coming years.
00:51 But 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.
00:58 out of the high seven.
