00:00You faced Anthony Roura this weekend, and you played with him back in the day, youth football.
00:05When you played together when you were younger, what type of teammate he was in the dressing room?
00:10Who was more vocal, you or Anthony?
00:12He was super talented, very skillful.
00:15He used to play as a winger, a winger coming inside.
00:18Really smart player.
00:20Probably none of us thought that we were going to be in the position that we are in today in the Premier League.
00:25But, yeah, really happy for him.
00:27I think he's doing an extraordinary job.
00:30The way he, I think he has changed a lot of things at the club as well.
00:34The atmosphere, beliefs, the players that he's recruited, the way they play, really impressive.
00:39My colleague, you asked me about the chance to finish, you took four of the Champions League position.
00:44When you look at the progress and the development, the improvement at Bournemouth,
00:47can you see them maybe even next year becoming one of those clubs that will challenge you and other clubs for a Champions League group?
00:53I imagine.
00:53I think in the Premier League, every club that is in this position, they have the opportunity to do it.
00:58Because now they have the consistency in the league.
01:02They have very, very good players.
01:03When you look at the players and the setup that they have, it's really impressive.
01:08So, yeah, for sure.
