00:00Hot to start with, no but a good session, does some good things, good to feel the ball, feel the heat, training in this climate so it was a good session.
00:14High quality, the ball moves very fast. Obviously it's a lot different from what I'm used to in terms of the players and the stars at play but it's good.
00:27I'm enjoying the change, I'm enjoying being a part of it. It feels really good and I'm happy to be here to be honest.
00:34Very, very good, I can't say enough good words about the lads and how they've made me feel welcome and at home.
00:39They've all put in a lot of effort, spoken to me, made me feel comfortable and made sure any questions I had, especially with the translations and things,
00:50they've helped me a lot with everything so like I said I can't thank them enough and now we're excited for the games to start.
00:57I mean, unless it's like Spanish to Spanish players then if me or Jude are involved then the lads will tend to speak in English so we can understand.
01:07It's probably, I don't know, in some ways easier than what I thought it would be, in some ways harder.
01:17The meetings and the tactical talks are all in Spanish so they take some getting used to.
01:23But in terms of day to day conversations it's easy. I have a decent base level of Spanish so I can hold a decent conversation with the lads and likewise they have a very good understanding of English so it's easy to communicate.
01:40I have a new set of staff involved so in that sense we're all starting off on the same foot so we're all very excited.
01:47We're all trying to learn and absorb all the information and take it on board as quick as possible.
01:53We're very, very excited to get started like I said, the games are coming soon so maybe get off till I'm going to start.
02:01I would say so. That was probably a big thing for me is being able to come away, you're spending a lot of time in the hotel, training ground, you're kind of in it together.
02:14A lot of the time you're with the staff, you're integrating really well so for me and Dean it's ideal around the lads all the time, get to know each other, get to understand each other's personalities and integrate as well as possible.
02:26We're both happy with being here right now and like I said, yeah, excited to get started with the games though.
