00:00And the club have done some notable business with Brentford this window,

00:04just wondering how much admiration you have for their model

00:08and how they go about things on the pitch as well?

00:10For Brentford, you mean?

00:12Oh, I think they brought in two really talented and good players,

00:18and then you could ask yourself the question, why do they leave?

00:21No, the both of them have played a lot of minutes last season

00:25and I think the both of them wanted to continue that journey of playing time.

00:29I think they were able to play for us, but there is so much competition in the positions they play

00:36that they wouldn't play every minute of every single game.

00:40Then it was a good deal, it's a real good deal for us,

00:43and I think it's a good deal for Brentford and it's also a good deal for the players.

00:47So, everybody happy, unless they do too well on Sunday!

00:53Do you admire the way Brentford play as well?

00:56Yeah, you can see that their manager is there for a long time already.

01:00In the last game against Crystal Palace they could play a 4-4-2 and a 5-3-2,

01:05so they can change systems within a game,

01:08and I think that's hardly impossible if you work with a group for three, four or five weeks,

01:12let alone maybe even after a year it's still not possible,

01:15because it's so difficult to bring the best out of them in one system.

01:19So if you can play two systems with them,

01:21you have to make the conclusion that Thomas Frank is doing a real good job over there

01:26for a lot of years already, and they played a real good first game as well,

01:32as well as a good pre-season, so it's going to be a challenge for us on Sunday again.
