00:04We knew that. So what do we need then? We are the thinnest, what do we need? And really

00:10dig into that and make sure that we utilise every player in the best possible potential.

00:17Everybody has to feel part of it. You need to rediscover players in different positions,

00:22relationships. It's a great one, honestly. It's a really good exercise and the boys are

00:29willing to do anything we demand them to do. So that's a really good thing as well.

00:33Yes, the preparation is done and we are ready if something happens. Obviously, we didn't

00:40predict that situation with Bukai and Raheem at the same time. We predicted more if something

00:46has happened, for example, in the defensive line. But the job is done and then, OK, if

00:52something has to happen, we will be open. But the main focus is, OK, now how we should

00:58strike still a lot of potential that there is in this squad.
