00:00At 17, where you start to think slowly, how can I make success, he has already done so much.
00:10Overall, I would say, we know he is an exceptional football player.
00:17We know he has the attitude of being capable to pass people,
00:23to make the right decisions in the box when there is a lot of people around him.
00:28But what I like, he looks to have fun on the football pitch.
00:33He looks to enjoy to play.
00:35And you want him to have the ball, because his pleasure is contagious, you know.
00:43He has no pressure.
00:45And so, for the rest of his career, nobody can fix his limits today.
00:54The only thing I want to say, he has to keep that passion and that freedom.
01:00And in that sense, we spoke about Messi and Ronaldo, they are good examples.
01:05And hopefully as well, touch wood that he keeps free of injury, because these guys are kicked as well.
01:12And I believe, I give him personally a lot of credit, because he had courage to play these players.
01:19And that is the most difficult.
01:21You know, he believed in them, he gave them a chance to play.
01:25And okay, he didn't win the championship last year, but he won it the year before.
01:30And so, overall, I believe he has done well.
01:36And I always respect the guys who put these young players in the team and give them a chance.
01:41And he will come back as a big manager.
01:46Excellent.
01:47Yeah, Hansi Flick has done well.
01:51You know, he was a long-time assistant manager, but late in his career, he took the main job.
01:56And he has shown that he has the exceptional quality to guide his teams towards success.
02:03He did it at Bayern Munich.
02:05After he had the spell with the German national team, where overall I believe he has not the same success.
02:12But he did well, they were close to do it.
02:16And now back in Barcelona, it's still all open.
02:20You know, it's a great example, because we are in May.
02:25And you can do very great until May, but you have to finish the job.
02:31And finish the job is now to win the Liga, because the real quality of the team is where you finish in the league.
02:39And then, of course, they have a chance.
02:42They have already won the Cup, the Copa del Rey.
02:45Now they have a chance as well to win the Liga.
02:50And if they beat Madrid, it's done.
02:53Well, everybody respects Ancelotti for what he has done in the game.
02:58And unfortunately for him in Madrid, an average season is not good enough.
03:05And so he understands that as well as we both do it.
03:11And he knew when he went out of the Champions League.
03:15When you have 15 trophies of the Champions League and you go out before the semi-final at Madrid,
03:22you know that you will not stay.
03:25But he had huge success in Madrid.
03:27And the team, I always thought before the season,
03:31you cannot lose Modric and Kroos and continue exactly at the same level.
03:37That's why I believe he suffered from having to find the balance by adding Mbappé,
03:46a more bigger weapon and less quality of feeding the strikers with less good midfield.
03:54And that's why I believe the scene has been a bit less good.
04:00That doesn't take anything of his qualities away.
04:04Mbappé, people criticise him, but he has done the job, you know.
04:10But they have not found the right balance between offense and defense.
04:18And the balance depends sometimes on one player in or out.
04:23And the team is a little bit unbalanced with too much offensive forces and not enough defensive forces.
