00:00Pep, is Bernardo the perfect captain?
00:02He seems like a natural leader.
00:05The best decision I made this season.
00:07How does he compare to some of the other captains that you've worked with?
00:11The previous ones have been good too.
00:14Don't tell me it's better than the other ones,
00:16because everyone is everyone, but everyone...
00:19Captain is simple.
00:20You think the team comes first?
00:23You know?
00:24Sometimes the politicians say something like that.
00:27No, the country comes first, and after never comes first.
00:30So in Bernardo, it's where it is.
00:33And most of the captains I had always got to think what the team requires.
00:39And not all of them can be possible.
00:43It normally happens when in good moments, everyone, the team comes first.
00:47But in the bad moments, it's when you have to be.
00:51When it's against you, personally, in terms of playing,
00:54in terms of something like that,
00:56and you put the team or the club, organization first.
01:00And not all of them is able to do that.
01:02So how much credit does he take then for being the leader in this season
01:05where there have been some difficult moments,
01:07and yet you have a trophy in the cabinet, you're in the semifinals?
01:11Last season was the biggest example.
01:14What I've said last season was the toughest, toughest, toughest one.
01:18I don't understand why.
01:20The reason why everybody knows it, and always was there.
01:26Leading by example, because always he's playing, always he's training good.
01:32And that was.
01:34Pep, sorry, another one on Bernardo.
01:37You know how good he is.
01:38Obviously, you've spoken a lot on how good he is.
01:40We all know how good he is.
01:41We've seen him over this last nine years.
01:43But he never really seems to be mentioned in the cabinet.
01:46Actually, it looks like a firewall press conference from Berlin.
01:49He didn't tell me what it looked like.
