It was new to him.

Similar with me, you know, when you come, when you, like, you've kind of developed yourself in Europe and then you're going to America, it's really different.

The way they even prepare for a football match, you know, it's more of an event.

The fans may be, like, they're coming to have a good time, you know, whereas in Europe, you know, the fans are coming to kill each other to support the team, so...

I think it was just a different environment.

But now, you know, he's more used to it and, you know, he's a top, top world-class manager.

So now the work he's been doing is starting to show and it's a perfect time getting closer to the World Cup.

Yeah.

And, you know, Pocho's done a really good job because...

As the World Cup's getting closer, he's making the feeling within the team like nobody knows who's going to be getting picked.

That's what you wanted, right?

Yeah, that's what he said in the beginning and I'm seeing that.

Of course, the best thing I can do in my head is just to have a good season with Monaco and then when I see the team in March, I have to perform.

That's the feeling of myself, but I'm sure that's the feeling of the other players, and it's good for the team.

Yeah, it's ruthless, it's knockout football, you go home and anybody can lose on any given day, so...

Yeah, as you said, you know, the initial aim, of course, is to get out of the group.

But then, yeah, as you said, after this, another competition starts.

Yeah.

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

It's true, you know.
