00:00Obviously, the day of the game is also deadline day. What impact does that have on you, Henning?
00:08Me and I think it's, I said many times, it's the same situation for all the clubs, all
00:13the managers. I think it's good also because you can work just with the ones that you are
00:20sure they're going to be with you until the end. So it's good for me, but it's good for
00:24all the clubs.
00:26Do you expect a player, at least one player, to come in before the deadline ends?
00:35You can expect players to arrive and you can expect players to leave. So it's like this
00:40in this moment. I don't have any idea about the ones that they can leave or the ones that
00:45they can arrive. Anything can happen, we'll see. For me, the main focus is just 48 hours
00:51the game. It's the main focus and the most important thing.
00:56What impact does the fact that it's all deadline day have on your selection? Because if you
01:00think of Joao Felix, Axel de Sassi, talk of maybe them leaving, maybe Christopher Nkunku
01:07as well. Is that a factor in your team selection for Monday?
01:10No, we have in this moment, we have many noises around the players, but it's not just for
01:18us. It's probably, if you ask Graham, it's exactly the same. I don't know if they have
01:24some noises about players, but overall I think it's exactly the same situation for all the
01:29clubs, all the managers. The good thing, as you said, is that Monday is the last day.
