00:00 building up to the game.

00:02 So 10 days ago it was different than now five days ago.

00:05 But we knew that.

00:06 And for me, it's absolutely no problem to be nervous

00:09 because if I start to become nervous,

00:11 I do my best to prepare myself

00:13 to avoid situations that I'm not in control.

00:16 And it's not a problem if you're nervous,

00:21 but the problem is if you're nervous and you're alone.

00:23 And I'm not alone.

00:24 I have a very great group of coaches,

00:27 a great group of players around me,

00:29 and they give me so much belief and so much trust.

00:31 And this is what we do.

00:32 As soon as somebody starts to think about maybe some things

00:36 that are not important,

00:36 we are there for him to bring him back on track.

00:39 And I think this is very special to hear

00:42 from such an experienced coach

00:44 who's been so successful in his career,

00:47 especially by winning and lifting the Champions League trophy

00:51 that he stays, that he's nervous.

00:53 And that shows me that I'm on a good way.

00:56 But the most important thing is not to be nervous

00:58 or to be full of joy.

01:01 As a head coach, the most important thing

01:02 is that you have the feeling that you prepare

01:05 in the best way possible.

01:08 And this is what I really feel really good.

01:10 I feel the energy in the group.

01:11 I feel the energy in every session.

01:14 And that's the best feeling that I have

01:15 over the last few weeks.
