00:14 Trainable, good exercises, good movements, good things on the training field.

00:18 You become really fit.

00:20 Attacking football, when you lose the ball, pressure straight away, high pressure.

00:24 I played with Arne, under Arne at AZ Alkmaar.

00:29 And we were high up on the pitch, pressing high, standing on halfway line.

00:34 The pressure needs to be very good then from the forwards as well.

00:38 I think that's quite similar if you look to Liverpool nowadays.

00:41 So I think it's comparable coaches.

00:43 I think Arne Slot didn't achieve what Klopp achieved so far.

00:49 The Klopp showed, I think, giving Klopp some time and it paid off.

00:53 So I hope Arne can build on that.
