00:00When you leave this place like I did last year, you then start to appreciate the place even more.
00:06You realise what you had, you realise how amazing that time was, you realise how big the club is, the best club in the world.
00:18Getting back onto that level and coming back now, a year later, is an incredible feeling.
00:24I am very pleased, I am very happy, I feel privileged to share the dressing room again with these amazing players.
00:35He's just tactically a genius. He has all sorts of solutions for every probability in the game, for everything that's happening on the pitch.
00:44He can give you a solution in just a very short amount of time.
00:48Maybe he's not, he doesn't get so much credit because he's playing a position that doesn't score assists or is not so much on the score sheet all the time.
01:06But for me, he's one of the best players right now in the world.
01:10If there's someone maybe in our team right now that is irreplaceable, for me it's definitely Rodri.
01:19In my age, I think right now, in the situation that I am, I think it's the right decision.
01:26Of course it's sad because one chapter ends, but I'm looking forward to the future and I am happy and at peace with my decision right now.
01:35By consistently trying to put the bar just a little bit higher, we have the best people working here and that's why this football club is so successful.
01:50And why not make it five?
01:52I read a little bit and 99.9% was just amazing and positive. It just showed me that this decision is just so right and it feels also so right, to be honest.
