But again, the lack of intensity really surprised me when I think that there is a lot.
This is not a game that is of no importance.
It's not an end of the season.
Well, we've got, we've qualified for Europe already.
So foot off the gas, blah, blah, blah.
It was not one of those.
And that is worrying, I think.
Yeah, no, I wanted to make a point of that because I was remembering...
Oh, all this Fabian Oertzler is under pressure, is criticized.
I was wondering, well, when was that?
And that was in February.
That was like yesterday when they had a series.
They only won one game out of 13 between the 30th of November 2025 and the 21st of February of 2026.
And at the time, people were saying that he was running out of time and was under pressure for his job.
And I think many people are feeling a bit silly now.
But one win out of 13 and to be in the position there now, obviously that's actually a great quality for a manager is to be able to actually right the ship as he did and did it with conviction and playing some lovely football.

He said it was despicable.
You don't hear that very often.
A despicable start to the game.
