:11:48. > :11:51.matter is in the next couple of years, Europe is going to have to

:17:50. > :17:57.I am so satisfied. It is a pleasure to work with these guys and this
:17:58. > :18:01.club. I wanted him to play good. We thought when we trained in that
:18:02. > :18:06.period that it can happen, and we feel that the players believe in
:18:07. > :18:11.what we do. But is more satisfying with the coach, of course, but
:18:12. > :18:16.without the result it is nothing. But we have got it. The first step,
:18:17. > :18:19.the most important thing is qualifying for the Champions League
:18:20. > :18:23.and now the Premier League, we have nine points and are playing good, so
:18:24. > :18:29.that is the most important thing and now the international break and come
:18:30. > :18:36.back and start again. In the second half I am more than happy, to be
:18:37. > :18:42.fair, and it gives us hope. With the players who are out injured, a lot
:18:43. > :18:46.of them, seven or eight, we expect a few of them to come back for the
