Transcript

00:00Andy Robertson's comments around Diogo Jota gave an indication of the weight of grief that you guys are all still carrying.

00:10I just wonder then how you manage that day-to-day within the club,

00:17but also, are you guys being fairly judged given the raw emotion that you're still carrying with regard to Diogo?

00:24I think we're always judged, sometimes fair, sometimes unfair, but I saw the interview as well, live,

00:35and I know that it is an issue for us, which is, I think, completely normal,

00:43but at these moments of time, I always think about how much it feels for his wife and his children,

00:50because that's so, so, so, so much harder for them than it is for us,

00:56but that we miss the player and the person, that is completely clear.

01:03Maybe, maybe it tells you even more now we play nothing on Forrest.

01:07Last season we were 1-0 down at Forrest, and it only took him one minute to score the equaliser.

01:14So now I'm talking about a player that we miss for sure, because this time we haven't managed to come back as many times as last season,

01:23after being a 1-0 down or a goal down, and he definitely played his part in that last season,

01:29but that we also miss him as a person, that'll be completely clear.

01:32But again, his wife and children will miss him so, so, so much more.
