00:00Yeah, but it's the past, that's the past, it's history.

00:03I want to keep going for sure.

00:07I know about my games against Messi, but I also lost against him.

00:11And it's not about Messi against Thomas Müller, it's Miami against the Whitecaps.

00:17So maybe they rely a little bit more on him than we do on me,

00:24because we are such a good group.

00:27The nice thing about it is not only playing against the greatest players who played our game,

00:33and still play in our game, it's more that I think when you have a pairing like this,

00:39more people are watching.

00:40And if more people are watching, the value also for you as a player, as an individual,

00:46also for your team and also for your franchise is way bigger.

00:49So the match gets a little bit more important than it is.

00:53It's a final for the MLS Cup, but if it's with these big, big players and big names

01:00in the soccer world, then it's a little bit more exciting for more people in the world.

01:04So a perfect situation for everyone who is involved.

01:07It's incredible.

01:19And everyone is involved.
