00:00The last two years in this format, a lot of calculation was involved with the start of this campaign.
00:06Do you guys have a number of points in mind?
00:10To be honest, no.
00:11No, we are all aware that we all follow what happened last year, what can happen this year.
00:18This is one of our favourite topics for weeks, for months, Champions League.
00:25So we are very privileged to be in this situation, to open these questions and answers and discussions.
00:33But to be honest, no, we are very aware that in football there is no time and space for calculation.
00:41It's only one thing.
00:43Take each next game, like your final, try to do your best.
00:48Show yourself, show your club, your team, your country at the end.
00:53Try to do the best and then at the end, after eight games, we will see how good we were,
01:00how many points we could win and if this was enough or not enough for our objectives.
01:17You have the feeling the team is ready to bring what you want to bring?
01:22We are excited.
01:25We are very excited.
01:26We are very excited.
01:27Players, staff, board, supporters, we are very excited.
01:33How Brendan said it also, we know that we are not on the best level.
01:40It would also not be normal if you can be after two, three weeks and everything would happen
01:46in the transfer period and if you can be directly on the best level, then there is something wrong.
01:53But on the other side, we know that this new competition, probably one of the most beautiful competitions, Champions League.
02:00So, this one to say that on a physical level, maximum effort, on mental level, maximum focus and discipline.
02:14On a social and emotional level, maximum, very strong team spirit needed.
02:19Then also, we know that the impact of our stadium, Jan Bredel, Champions League in Jan Bredel, we like to
02:28talk about them and we would like,
02:32we are very motivated to do tomorrow one more of these nights that we can talk later for weeks or
02:40months.
02:41So, in that moment, in one moment, in one game, I don't think that is a very important state of
02:49form or what and how.
02:51When you hear, when players hear this song of Champions League, the feeling of Jan Bredel,
02:59then you forget your last game or how was the last pass or duel.
03:03So, you know that this is time to be on full gas, to compete with the best ones and then,
03:12yeah, I'm confident and excited
03:13what the game of tomorrow will bring to us.
03:20Kuchu, you have tomorrow normally two teams in transition.
03:24You think that makes a difference for the game?
03:28Two teams will change a lot.
03:30They changed a lot. We changed a lot. Same coaches, yeah, from last year.
03:35But a lot of new players, a lot of players left.
03:38So, on that aspect, it's different. We don't know what can happen.
03:45We know our way of playing. We know their way of playing.
03:50So, it will be our football against their football.
03:55One thing is very, very sure, yeah. We know the real situation.
04:02We know that we need to be very good to compete, very good to compete with them.
04:08And we know that we need to be almost perfect to win.
04:12So, those are moments that we are all aware of.
04:17But, yeah, this is what makes football also challenging and nice.
04:23that when you play against big opponents, big teams in big competition,
04:33then to check, to see where we are now individually, group, as a club.
04:39So, it's one side. We know sort of the football, but with other key people.
04:51And I always say the players are the key.
04:53It will be different than last year from our side and from their side.
04:57You are never sure what one game can bring.
04:59You stay in green court and like a goyresse to liberty.
04:59These are very good to think.
05:01One side.
05:02One side.
05:03One side.
05:03Okay, in line.
05:03Pieops.
05:03Here we all have a lot of performance on the top.
