00:00First of all, I just wanted to start with the Champions League
00:03and the accusation of racist abuse that Vinicius Junior put forward.
00:11Looking at those scenes, is enough being done to combat racism?
00:14And when you see scenes like that as well, what discussions have you provoked in your own dressing room
00:19in terms of advice to your players if they were to face a similar situation?
00:24I think in general you can never do enough, you can always do more.
00:29We've always tried to do more to make sure this never happens again.
00:34And that's what I mean in general.
00:38So I think we have to try as a World Football community to do more than society does.
00:44That's maybe not so difficult, by the way.
00:49And I think protocol has been followed during the game, so that's the first step.
00:54And I think the Football World reacted as you expect it to react.
00:57And I'm trying to do the same now.
00:59We can never do enough or too much.
01:01We can do enough, but we can never do too much, no.
01:04In terms of advice to your players if they were to face a similar situation?
01:08I would hope they act in a similar way, so immediately address it.
01:12And I would hope that the referee who's in charge then acts in the same way,
01:17and then protocols need to be followed and because it's under investigation
01:20I cannot say too much about that situation.
01:23But in general, as I said, we can never do too much.
01:26any procedure on what kind of uh
01:26means making it clips wise to make it please.
