00:00Jürgen, we've been talking about the start you've had so far,
00:0216 games, 14 wins, one draw, one defeat,
00:06and of course dispatching the Bundesliga champions is a very good way to continue that as well.
00:10Have you been surprised at just how well this start has been for you and for Liverpool this season?
00:15I don't think surprise is the right word to use, because I knew the quality of our team.
00:21But quality is one thing, but to be consistent is the second thing.
00:26And I'm not surprised in this, because from the moment I started working with them
00:32I saw how much energy they put in on a daily basis,
00:35and that is, I think, the reason why you can be consistent.
00:38If you do the work on a daily basis, every day, you can be consistent,
00:44and sometimes a bit of luck comes with that as well.
00:50Most of our results were, I think, deserved, but some of them were a close call,
00:55and then you have maybe a bit of luck as well.
01:00But in general, not surprised, because of the quality I already thought was in the team,
01:06and when I started working with them I also saw how much effort they put in to get these results.
