00:00Prince William has said you're exactly the right person for this job and that

00:04he trusts you to win the title. What does this royal praise mean to you?

00:08It makes me very proud.

00:10Does it also put pressure on you?

00:13Yeah of course, but the pressure comes with a job and the pressure is a privilege

00:19to be in this role. I met his royal highness once during a match and then we had

00:27another meeting in Windsor Castle and it was just nothing but impressive the way he speaks

00:34and how emotionally he supports Aston Villa. And of course the national team is just so impressive

00:45and it was so nice to speak with him about football. He has a strong opinion. He was

00:51pushing hard for the Aston Villa players, which was not needed because we admire them a lot and

00:59we admire a lot what is happening there in the club. It means a lot and it's just something

01:04very, very special that comes with a role and it's an honour and a privilege and comes with

01:11big responsibility.
