We were playing the last 16 against Atletico Madrid in the Champions League.
So maybe at the time was the target to get into the Champions League for next season.
But he was very clear.
He wanted to create a team, a strong team that, you know, he wanted to win the Champions League and he wanted to, of course, qualify for the Champions League through the Premier League.
And since he came the day before a game and he changed the shape because he was not the system he was playing in PSG and he changed with us and it worked really well.
He had very clear ideas, which is not easy when you arrive new to a place.
So he already did the job of trying to work out how he can improve the team.
So this is...
The system from him, he changed from PSG and then he was someone very engaging.
He was someone who communicated a lot, very close to the players, to the staff.
The results also helped a lot because we started really well.
So we kept building that trust, that confidence with his meetings, with the team selection.
The atmosphere around was a really positive one and everybody was
doing the best we could and by creating that special momentum, four months later, we were Champions League winners.
So that's not easy to do.
He wanted me to just be myself, to try to help the team.
On and off the pitch, I felt straight away his confidence, his belief in me, because when a new manager arrives, I didn't know him.
It's always, what can you expect from a new manager?
And he showed me straight away his confidence and belief in me as a captain, as a player.
And I just try to, when you are in that situation, you try to push the more you can to help the team and to achieve the goals as a club.
