What we can give to players is the size of the club, but the feeling inside – we are really close together. But what I really like about this is he's obviously a guy who doesn’t want to jump on the running train, he wants to push the train. We don't go outside and tell everybody that it's a family or whatever, but internally it's exactly like that. We sing birthday songs for everybody, we do all these kind of things, everybody gets flowers in the right moment. Gini was in my house, [that] was not possible with Cody, so we had a phone call, we had a long conversation in the moment we are allowed to do that. He trained now, he had a few days where he was allowed to train but not with the team. But it was not possible in this case, we had to do it differently. I never met him but in this specific case everybody knows what a player he was and when you see the reaction of his former teammates, former colleagues, then it says a lot about what kind of person he was. That's what I knew before, then you speak to the boy; perfect English, obviously a lot of Dutch guys really speak incredible English, so [it] makes the conversation really easy in that moment. It happens from time to time that players ask, 'Do you think we'll make the Champions League?' Stuff like this. We had obviously information from Virgil as well about him as a person, so there were not only not a lot of doubts – there were no doubts at all. But always the best possible line-up for the specific game.
