00:00As players, do you owe them this one in the Europa, given what they've sort of been going through?
00:06They or we?
00:07Do you owe?
00:08Yeah, but we've been going through it, yeah.
00:11Yeah, but I think they'd say that you've been putting them through it with the results in the league.
00:17Do you owe them one?
00:18On purpose or?
00:19No, not on purpose. I'm sure I'm not questioning the effort.
00:23But do you not feel you owe them one?
00:24No, we definitely want to reward them for the support that they give us by creating something special because the league hasn't been good enough, definitely.
00:35But it hurts us as well. Let's not create the narrative that it's just like, yes, it's us players out there, definitely.
00:42And we take responsibility for that. But it hurts me a lot that we're having a poor season.
00:46But this is why we're so motivated for this competition, because, like I said, this season can still be so special.
00:55At the end of games and we've lost again, you go over because you want to thank them for the support.
00:58And I know they don't want to hear it for us.
01:01Even like this press conference and the interview on Sunday, they're not really that bothered because words are just words.
01:06But it hurts and we're trying to put it right.
