00:00Very, very grateful for the decision.

00:02I really want to thank them, and our real work begins now.

00:07The requirements were relatively clear.

00:30We had to show that we had enough cash flow to support our operations.

00:36And we didn't do that before.

00:41There were a lot of possibilities that we presented, but we didn't meet the very specific requirement.

00:48And this time we did.

00:51It's actually very simple.

00:52Terry Savage, we absolutely asked him to come in, work with us.

01:09So he is an advisor right now.

01:12He worked side by side, day and night, with us to prepare this package.

01:17Jean-Michel Olas absolutely lent his support.

01:21But as you know, he's vice president of FFF.

01:24So there is independence.

01:25There is conflict of interest.

01:27So he could not be as much as he would like, as much as we would like.

01:32But he absolutely sent his support.

01:36And we're very, very grateful for his support and encouragement.

01:39I have 100% control over both organizations as well as responsibility.

01:55There is no one else who is going to interfere with our day-to-day decisions and operations.

02:02We will do our best to take the company, take the club to the next level and really work on the financial disciplines.

02:14But, you know, in my opinion, we're in the football business and everything starts from the success on the pitch.

02:32What is the goal of Europe?

02:42Our goal is to be the European.

02:45We want to qualify for the European.

02:47We want to play in the European competitions.

02:51And we will find the means to fight ourselves.

02:55Like the last season, where we had a little bit of a loss of the last match.

02:58We are almost arrived at 4th place, maybe even 3rd place.

03:04So we will make this battle for Europe the next season.
