00:00I think I said when I got my red card against Everton, that's always stupid because you can

00:07show your emotions, but if it leads to a yellow or red card, then it's stupid.

00:11If you score in the Champions League final in 87 minutes after outplaying three players

00:15and hitting it in the top corner, I can maybe understand that you're like, ah, this is all

00:20about me, what did I do?

00:21But I'm old fashioned, I'm 47 and old maybe.

00:26And I haven't played on this level, but I did score a few goals and if I would have scored

00:31a goal like this, I would have turned around and walked up to, in this situation, Federico

00:35Chiesa and said, this goal is all about you, this is not about me.

00:39Needless, not smart, you call it stupid.

00:41I call it stupid, by the way, as well.

00:43Yeah, it's nice.

00:44The best moment to start to see where he is and how much he can help us.

00:49You can already see that he can help us, but the best when he comes back, hopefully from

00:52the Swedish national team, when he stayed fit, played there many minutes, plays for us in

00:56the upcoming weeks, a few minutes, then I think after that, then his preseason has ended

01:01and we can expect even more from him.

01:03But till now I'm very happy with what I've seen from him.
