00:00Just on Kopi again, you know he's played really well tonight, but it's his first start in the last three games

00:05I think he was subbed on the two games prior to that.

00:08Did you feel maybe the talk about his contract has been kicked up recently

00:12and also, of course, the uncertainty over his future of the club might affect his form

00:17as much as what you mentioned before about playing in that big role?

00:20I don't think it's the contract.

00:23Everybody in England sees him as a very, very good player.

00:30He played in the Europa Championship final, so I think it's more the position.

00:37Then, he's not comfortable, because before he was always playing and now sometimes plays

00:44and sometimes doesn't play, he's not comfortable.

00:47Maybe there is something to do with that, but I think the key point is the position.

00:52It's different for him, demands a lot from him.

00:55Today, in that position, I feel more happy to play. Simple as that.

01:01I don't look at just the movements, the way he touched the ball.

01:06I feel it just watching him. He was so happy on the pitch.

01:11That is important for me, because if they are happy, they play better.

01:15So I think he can change position.
