00:00Is it good to have given him those international breaks off

00:05to keep him fresh coming back in?

00:07Yeah, I guess so.

00:08That was the decision for Lars Kemp, and he accepted the decision.

00:12And he did what he does best.

00:14He competed on the highest level,

00:17and he showed that he deserves and has to be in the squad,

00:20so that's why he is in the squad.

00:21I will not reveal my confidential and private conversation

00:26with players here in public,

00:29but I think it's not a surprise for him to compete for us

00:34on the No. 10 position.

00:35I think he knows from me, and I think he sees himself as a No. 10.

00:40Like I said, I feel that his key strength from the No. 10

00:43is to find No. 9 positions

00:44and that he has this hunger and determination to score.

00:50This is what we see now for Real Madrid,

00:52and hopefully we see it next week for us.
