He talks of his own side needing to show their character. Asked about his own experience as a striker and how he uses that to help players, with Andrej as example with the penalty, he says that he doesnt need to. Andrej is a role model as a player and speaks highly of his abilities as a striker.

He says that it his job to be clear in his instruction. They won't be lacking motivation, he says of his team, and that's that. He wishes everyone a nice weekend with a slight smile, and he's off. As are we. See you in Leverkusen. Eisern!
