Sid Lowe

He's playing a lot of minutes.

He's covering a lot of kilometers.

He's playing in a slightly deeper position, which he's asked to do, in theory at least, a more physical role than the one he had before.

And he was coming through that.

So this injury is a problem.

I think if you look at the game that we covered last Sunday in San Sebastian against Real Sociedad, at the end of it, he was exhausted.

And I just wonder if maybe there would have been a temptation to have not played him the whole game in midweek in the Champions League.

But of course, from Barcelona's point of view away in Prague, it was a vitally, vitally important match.

Well, I think that, and actually it's one of the things that Andy Kohlberg, the president, says.

He talks about the idea that when he took over, despite having been a professional tennis player, there wasn't necessarily a sort of an excitement around him, that the excitement in Spain is around Steve Kerr and around Steve Nash, and the idea that these were people who would kind of help

give the project gravitas, help give the project that, if you like, that sense of a sporting status.

And so I think there's a degree of excitement.

Of course, what they would love, the Mallorca fans, is for these guys to be able to be on the island all the time.

But then beyond that, when you strip that away, more than that, it's about the lived experience.

And obviously, I think one of the things that

that they've been keen to stress, and Andy in particular talking very clearly about this, is that part of what you see as your development project from Yorker is the introduction, if you like, of American-style approach to sport as entertainment.

So things like VIP areas in the stadium, things like lounges where you can see the game from a different perspective.

They've got this pitch-side club thing and the tunnel club where you can get really close to the players on the way out.

And, of course, those are VIP packages.

But he said that...
