00:00I'm sure you've seen the incident in midweek involving Mises Junior.
00:05Just more on a general thing, have you had conversations with your players
00:11if an incident like that was to arise during the game?
00:15And have you spoken about what would happen in an instance like that?
00:20For example, if they said, I want to walk off the pitch, I don't want to play.
00:24Is that something that you'd back, that you'd support?
00:27Well, that's why we have meetings with the Premier League or UEFA
00:31before the season starts to make sure that everybody is very aware of the protocols
00:35and what we expect from each other.
00:37Obviously, there is no room for racism in this sport.
00:40I think we need to stick to that.
00:42And then the manner of acting, I think you have to go case by case
00:46to understand what's the best option.
