On the reception the supporters gave to Robertson and Salah…
Brilliant, as always, as what you can expect from our fans. So, they completely got what they deserved. Two legends that in the last nine years won nine trophies over here. So, yeah, for them it must have been a special day, a difficult day probably as well, but definitely also a special day and the fans made it special for them as well. I think I’ve said it many times, this club knows how to celebrate a league title, this club knows to handle tragedies and this club definitely also knows how to celebrate these two players.
On whether there is anything he would look back on and feel he could have done differently throughout the season…
Oh yeah, many things. We, I haven’t been perfect, but I would have answered this question exactly the same in the year we won the league because as a manager you can never be perfect (and) a player can never be perfect. But all the decisions I’ve made throughout the whole season has been only with one idea, and that’s being very well prepared. So, all the decisions I made were never made from, ‘Oh, I have no time, let’s make a decision like this.’
No, I thought about it really well and as you know, not every decision can be the right one so it would be stupid for me to sit here and say all the decisions I’ve made were the right ones. But before I made them, it every time felt they were the right ones to make. But a lot of times I didn’t even have to make decisions or choices because this (game) was maybe the first time this season that there were no Academy players on our bench – and that has been an exception. So, if you asked me one word to describe this season, I would describe that with the word ‘injury’.
