00:00I think in general it's not helpful for the English club not to have a winter break,
00:03but I'm not saying now that all these teams have lost because we don't have a winter break.
00:08Why? Because in the last 16 of Europe you're facing very good teams
00:14and four of the five teams in the Champions League played away from home.
00:18That's usually an advantage to play at home or a disadvantage to play away.
00:22So to immediately jump to conclusions, missing a winter break
00:25or the level of the Premier League is not as high as we expected it to be,
00:29that would be for me at this moment of time not the right conclusion to make.
00:35Let's first judge us all after next week,
00:40and then maybe it's still too early to jump to conclusions.
00:45But one of the things is definitely also that if you are in the Champions League last 16,
00:52all the teams are very good and strong teams.
00:57and if you play four out of five away from home and the margins were in all the games,
01:04I saw quite small as our own game.
01:06The margins were really small, I think we didn't deserve to lose.
01:09We'll see.
01:09We'll see you next time.
