It's also historically interesting to know that he could possibly win the second World Cup at such a young age.

So both players are excellent.

And if both of them clash in the finals again, I mean, this would be a super exciting World Cup to remember.

Yeah, that's always an interesting discussion in all the clubs that have players participating in World Cups.

I would say to some degree, fortunately, we didn't have any of our players participate in this World Cup.

So we had a chance to keep them together, contain them, manage their workload, rebuild them for a second part of the season.

So that's one advantage.

But when you do have those players, and we've seen it in the past, especially when they go to these national team call-ups,

And when they come back, they're drained.

So this World Cup in itself, a lot of these players who are just focused on one task and they're obviously emotionally enjoying the moment and it's a dream for them.

But at the same time, the amount of effort and the amount of output they're putting physically on a day-to-day, it's a lot.

And whether it's four weeks to six weeks, maybe eight weeks of being with a national team and away from home and away from your day-to-day environment, it is mentally draining.

And when they're out of that bubble and they come back to reality and they see that they have a game on the weekend where they got to fight for points again, it's hard to switch on.

And you usually see a trend where players decline in their performance.

And they might need extra time off.

They might need extra time to rebuild themselves as well.

So it's a tough juggle.

And that's so important for the clubs to have the right resources and the support for these players.

But in our case at Red Bull, I mean, we didn't have any players go to the tournament.

So we had a chance to manage them, as I mentioned.
