00:00Playing days, yeah, I know Michael pretty well, really, obviously, from internationals and at a young age, really, from 16s, under 18s, under 21s, we were often together in camps.
00:13Not come across Michael as a coach in terms of going up against him. But, yeah, playing days, playing against him, coming up against him, an exceptional player.
00:24I think we all see that he was a real top-class player and looking forward to one meeting him and looking forward to going up against his team.
00:32A very good team we face on Friday and you see the work. He's been in there now for probably a couple of years and you can see evidence of that in terms of their team and their structure.
00:42And, yeah, it'll be a big challenge for us. I'm looking forward to obviously meeting up with him.
00:46An attacking team and, obviously, can cause you problems in that sense and, obviously, we need to be fully equipped and ready for what we're going to face on Friday night,
00:58while also a lot of parts which we can impose ourselves on this game and, obviously, cause them problems as well.
