00:33 I don't have a solution yet.

00:37 I have a few in my head, how to control it.

00:40 But I don't have a solution to get the transfer to the pitch.

00:44 We have to use the good relationship outside the pitch to get an opinion on the pitch.

00:54 To see what is needed, what adjustments are needed.

01:08 Everyone is busy with themselves, which is normal because of the younger and middle-aged history.

01:15 But, and that was the second message, I want to get out of the role of victim.

01:19 How bad everything was in the last few years, how few games we win and so on.

01:23 Because this role of sacrifice will never take you further in life.
