00:01The reason why he wasn't in Milan was about his interview.

00:04The question is always, and everybody has a different opinion about that,

00:08should he be once, twice, three times, four times, four months, twelve years?

00:13Every manager makes different decisions in that,

00:16but he wasn't involved in the game against Milan and I spoke to him yesterday.

00:21As I usually never say anything about where we talk about,

00:26I'm not going to make an exception now,

00:28I think actions speak louder than what has been said.

00:31He was in the squad again and when I had to make my first substitution,

00:35I brought him in and he performed as I think every fan, including me,

00:40would like him to perform today.

00:42He wasn't the only player who walked around the pitch thanking the fans,

00:46because the fans deserved a thank you from us.

00:50I think our players worked incredibly hard today to keep a clean sheet

00:55and for the first time in weeks, maybe I should say months,

00:58we had a little bit of luck with that as well.

01:00Mo is going to go to the FCOM now.

01:02I hope he's going to do very well and in the meantime we have to play here without him,

01:10with not that many players available at the moment.
