Transcript

00:00Obviously two Dutch managers in charge, you've already met Erik both in your home country

00:04but then in pre-season too, how would you describe your relationship with him?

00:09As good and as normal as the relationship we have with many other managers,

00:15so Erik, Rene Haken and Luiz Fernandes have joined him,

00:21and the relationship with both of them is also the same as with Erik.

00:25I would call it very good, because all of us respect each other a lot,

00:31because of what these managers did at their former clubs,

00:34and they've been successful, all three of them at the clubs they've worked at in the past.

00:41So there's a good relationship between us.

00:44Friends?

00:45No, no, no friends.

00:48Friends is something else, I think.

00:51But a very good relationship, a friend is someone you see a lot

00:54and you go out to dinner with, but that's not something we've done in the past.

01:01For that we don't know each other well enough.
