00:00There are stories in Portugal earlier on this week that if Darwin Nunes plays
00:04and starts another game, it would trigger a clause.
00:07I think if 5 million euros Liverpool would have to pay Benfica,
00:10is there any financial element in your thinking,
00:14or is it purely a footballing decision when it comes to picking the team for the rest of the season?
00:19Do you always believe what journalists say?
00:21Not always.
00:22Not always. Me neither.
00:25Sometimes you should, but sometimes it's better not to believe everything that is written about players.
00:32So it's completely new to me,
00:34and I've said many times that I'm working at a club here where it's really nice to work,
00:41so mainly sports directors are judged by the players they bring in.
00:44For me it's very important to have a great working environment,
00:48and I have that with Richard.
00:51So the last, last, last, last thing he would do, as I expect working with him for 10 months,
00:58is tell me if you play him it would cost us this much,
01:02and that he would never, never, never do.
01:06So I don't even think if it's true or yes or no, because we never talk about that.
01:10He never interferes with a line-up.
01:12So it might be true, but if a journalist says it, we have to balance this if it's true or not.
01:25No, you know what I mean.
01:27Let's see.
01:28Right now.
01:29Okay.
01:30If you're trying out for this one-to-one,
01:31you'll have to walk together.
01:32I'm going to take care of it at the end of this equation.
01:33I know how to do this.
01:34We haven't yet heard about it.
01:36I don't think so.
01:37You've got to know how to solve this.
01:38I'm going to take care of it.
01:39I think so.
01:40You've got to know how to solve this problem.
01:41I'm going to see what's going on in this задач and what you've been able to talk about.
01:43I think so.
01:45You know what you've been able to do this challenge.
01:47I'm going to do this challenge.
01:48It's going to be a really tough job.
01:50You're going to like a lot of time there,
01:52Thank you so.
