00:00The club has to move forward, move on and, of course, replicate these numbers and these

00:06kind of things is so difficult. But, yeah, and other qualities and other things we have

00:13to find and we'll see how the squad finishes at the end of the season. He's the only player

00:18that finishes, you know, contract. The rest is still under contract, so still many things.

00:25The club or myself, we don't decide yet exactly what they have to do. But, of course, it's

00:32difficult. There are players that are unique, that represent what the club wants to be and

00:38Kevin is one of them. United has its own players, Arsenal has its own players, Liverpool has

00:42its own players, but that is what it's about and the people who remember him at the end

00:46will be so nice. You know, I remember personally my period here, always Kevin will be there

00:52in my memory for this many years and it cannot be forgotten. And even in the bad moments

00:58that we had, in the good moments, the people say, now I remember him, it was a fairytale

01:03everything. Of course not. But not even with the players that are not here anymore. So,

01:07of course, I had to take a decision, the club had to take a decision, it's not easy for

01:11anyone. But in the balance, I've been extraordinary, I've been so nice.
