00:00Yeah, look, I think I'm here this season to replace Mark and if Mark is back in fit and the coach decides that he's back in goal, I'm fine with it.
00:10Having said that, I want to play the competition, of course, and I expect that if the decision is the other way, Mark will understand it too.
00:16We have a great relationship and I think whatever happens is Hans' decision and we will respect it.
00:20Mark has played at the highest level for a very, very long time. If you ask my personal opinion, when Mark is fit and he's at 100%, there's not many goalkeepers in the world who can compete with him.
00:33I think we have a very good understanding of the situation and it's not uncomfortable in any way or there's no tension between us.
00:40We understand that the situation is a delicate and particular one. Whatever happens, we treat each other with respect and what we want in the end is the same thing, is for the best outcome for the team.
