00:04Yes, of course I understand and my job is to answer, but I'm trying to answer always the same thing

00:12and you ask me always the same thing. I understand what you are saying.

00:16You love Kobe. He starts for England, but that doesn't mean that I need to put Kobe

00:22when I feel that I shouldn't put Kobe, so it's my decision.

00:27I feel, though, that for all you say about the academy, that you don't actually trust the academy.

00:33Why?

00:34Because you never pick any players.

00:37Any players, we have Kobe, my no.

00:39But Lacey in difficult situations, and Lacey sometimes when Brian is not there,

00:47I put Amad because I have other wing-backs to play, and sometimes it's hard.

00:52So you are asking me why I don't put Lacey to play when I have other guys that are international

00:59and also they are in the bench.

01:01So I try to put the best guys, the prepared guys for this moment of the club

01:06and try to win a game.

01:08That's the only thing, guys.
