Okay, so let's not bury the lead. Let's start with Christian.

You go first. Me? What are you bringing me into this for? You're not a good cop today. You're an honest cop.

Well, I mean, this group hasn't proven that there'll be one game where everyone's together, right? Due to injuries or someone not wanting to be there or whatever.

Well, no, look, so look, there is nuance between them, right? Because they're all unique situations, right? And then with Scali and, Sargent, and some of these were also soccer decisions that Pochettino said, I don't want to bring them in. Tessman, right? And he said that publicly. So with Christian, I understand very clearly what it's like to need a break, as do you.

In 2013, I had played probably 14 straight years of 11-plus months of soccer, 40-plus games a year. And I have never said this publicly, but I was on the verge, and I think I've mentioned this to you, I was on the verge of a real breakdown where it could have got scary for me. I'm going to leave it at that, and you can understand where I'm going with that.

I want to say the caveat to all of these guys needing a break and not coming in. If there's something serious going on in your life, in your family, mentally, whatever, I get it. So I'm going to assume for sake of this conversation that's not going on, but I am admitting I could be wrong with that.

If they would actually come out and give reasons, it would help us, but none of them want to say anything publicly. I think it would help them publicly to say this is why. It would help people understand. So I'm going to preface it with that. That being said, With Christian, I think the hard part with him is he is, whether he likes it or not, the leader of this team. Okay.
