00:00I can't say much about Granit because I would sell him too well. He is an exceptional person, he is a professional like the cup of a pine tree.
00:11He is a guy who works all day like an animal, to put it in some way. He trains with a lot of intensity, he is always the first to do the exercises.
00:19Everything he can say about Granit is positive. On top of that, he is a leader in the dressing room, he is a leader on the pitch.
00:26He has a personality that brings the whole dressing room together.
00:31In his case, as he trains as well and as he is such a great professional, he allows him to play every weekend.
00:40He has been playing in the Leverkusen on Thursdays and Sundays for a good part of the season.
00:46In the end, he has won two titles with his participation and with important goals from him as well.
00:51We take advantage of that, we take advantage of all this experience and all this leadership that he brings to us.
01:00In the end, for a player who has been playing 60-65 games in the season, nothing happens.
01:07Not because he misses two training sessions, but because he adapts to the load for two or three days.
01:12In the end, he continues to train, he continues to do his individual work and there is no problem.
01:17In this case, we are not worried.
