00:00It's a privilege to live in Europe where everybody can have his own opinion and everybody can express his own opinion.
00:05That is something that we saw today as well.
00:09A few of them were not happy with him.
00:12I think all of them were not happy with him leaving the club.
00:14But a few of them showed it in a way that they booed him and a few of them clapped.
00:19The only thing I can say about it is that I owe it to the players and to the club
00:25and to the staff for everyone that works so hard for us to win a game of football.
00:29To try to do that and if we are after 17 minutes 2-2, Conor can't continue and I have a world-class full-back on the bench,
00:39I bring him in and I think it's a big compliment for him because you can understand how mixed the emotions were in his head probably as well.
00:46That you bring in a performance like that tells you why I think, why everybody thinks he's a world-class full-back.
00:53Because with him we were quite close to winning this game and that's what I owe to the players in the dressing room
01:01that work so hard every single day to make decisions to try to win the game.
01:05It's definitely difficult for him because I think he said himself how difficult it was to leave this football club.
01:12And that is something that is important for us to hear as well because we have to make it as difficult as possible.
01:18And fortunately for us many stay like Virgil and Mo.
01:22Trent made the decision to go but yeah, it is the way you want to look at it.
01:26I don't know, I haven't asked him but maybe he's positively surprised how the reactions were today.
01:31I don't know because I haven't spoken to him but it was clear that they were mixed reactions so it wasn't all negative.
01:37And as it went onwards, the moment he had to take a free kick everybody was cheering for him for him to score and he was close.
01:44Let's close.
01:45Let's close.
