00:00That is why the majority of this team and the majority of the selection is from the players who were
00:07with us in September, October and November.
00:12It's important for me to say that I am very grateful to all players who helped us qualify, to all
00:20players who had sometimes only one of six camps with us.
00:27Very grateful and I tried to show my respect and my appreciation for what they have done in telling them
00:36in personal phone calls in the last three days about my decision.
00:41So I called every player that was at least once with us personally to tell them my decision even if
00:50it was a painful decision or it was a disappointing message.
00:56I do believe that it has to be delivered from me. I will not go into details of course but
01:01I will try to explain my decision and try to express my appreciation and respect for the player.
01:11No more questions?
01:16So it was nice to see you and thanks for explaining that. That is very helpful. You have surprised us
01:21again.
01:23I want to start with perhaps what we thought was the biggest surprise and that is Ivan Toni's conclusion.
01:29He played a total of seven minutes of international football in your 16 months in charge. He wasn't on a
01:34lot of people's radar and yet here he is in your World Cup squad. Can you explain that to us?
01:38Also a bit of a surprise to us. So like I said when it came down to all different kinds
01:45of scenarios he was back in the picture. I had fantastic feedback from his coach.
01:52From his club.
01:53From his club.
