00:00Nice to see you both. How are you?
00:03Obviously, it's a beautiful location.
00:05I presume you've had a fantastic week training,
00:08but obviously we're here because of a very sad situation
00:10about what's going on in Ukraine.
00:12I'm just wondering if you have a chance to reflect on that,
00:15suppose, while you're here and think about why we're here,
00:17or the magnitude of it.
00:20Yeah, of course we think about that,
00:22because, yes, it is really sad.
00:24We do have the great facilities here.
00:26Of course, the climate is really good,
00:28so we can prepare really well.
00:30But the reason we're here is not nice,
00:31because you want Ukraine to be able to play in their home country.
00:36So that makes it all really sad.
00:38And also, yeah, they had to travel a lot themselves to get here.
00:43The things they have in front of them in their country
00:46is just really horrible.
00:48So, yeah, we just hope that this game unites a bit,
00:51and of course it's competitive,
00:53but also it's an opportunity for Ukraine
00:55to show themselves to the world in another way.
00:57Where hopefully football unites and brings some joy.
