00:00Just going back to set pieces, you said how in England, when you were growing up, we used to cheer
00:05them and we loved them.
00:06But your influence on football perhaps is such that maybe we don't like them as much anymore.
00:11I mean, that's where Arna Slott was kind of going, right?
00:14So do you enjoy that style of football?
00:17Yeah.
00:17Yeah?
00:19It's what it is.
00:20Listen, it's my business.
00:21I'm a manager, no?
00:23When it's set pieces, I'm going to say referee, please.
00:25I don't like set pieces a lot.
00:27So it's what it is.
00:28I do that and do it.
00:30And football is, I said before, there are a thousand million things.
00:33And football has not been played in one way since the football has been created.
00:41So the football play in England is different, in Spain is different, in Italy is different.
00:46That's nice.
00:47That's why the Champions League is nice, different ways, even in that country.
00:51Every manager plays in a different way.
00:53So it's nice.
00:55That's why it's so attractive.
00:56How boring it will be in all the managers and all the leagues play in the same way.
01:00How boring it will be.
01:02So if I like or don't like, it's my business.
01:05If I don't like, I don't watch as a spectator.
01:08But it's where it is.
01:09I have to adapt.
01:10It's a question of as quick you adapt.
01:13How boring it will be.
01:13I know you're not boring.
01:13I don't know.
01:13I have to do it.
