00:00Obviously I called him straight away after I got the news at the end and he was really

00:05happy. He's a player that we loved a lot, very charismatic. He really put his fingerprints

00:18here at the club in the way that he was and it will be very good to see him.

00:22Yeah it is special because I was very grateful for what he did. When we signed him obviously

00:28there was a lot of noise around him. We helped him to create the environment that he needed

00:34because we believed in his potential. He showed it, he won the respect and admiration of all

00:39of us. And then the circumstances changed because this is an elite sport and it can

00:43happen and then it was difficult to deal with that situation in a natural way and we decided

00:50to part ways and hopefully he's grateful as well.
