00:09What's my opinion? I mean, first and foremost, you need to know how it started. It started actually in this
00:17building, having a discussion about what the future can be and what I can do myself in terms of brand,
00:28in terms of football.
00:30So I had a discussion, obviously, with my agent and Tobias. That's it. We saw this building, the lab. I
00:39don't know if you went to the lab already or whatnot. And then we talked about it, how they were
00:47seeing it, what I would like to do, how the game can change in terms of boots and the impact
00:54that we can have.
00:57And then I signed. I signed because I was impressed with what the storyline was and the impact I was
01:07going to have.
01:08The impact on the boots, the impact on the material, textiles, or whatever it is, really have an impact on
01:14the development of the brand.
01:16And be part of the, you know, as you can see here, when you look at, on the other side,
01:21the light spray innovation.
01:25It's just great, really, being able to try to attract players and go further in terms of developing the brand
01:31and really be part of it.
01:33Yeah. I mean, if, you know, first and foremost, you need to, to be able to arrive with something that's
01:39going to be attractive to the player.
01:41And when you look at the boots and maybe Tobias, if you can, if you can, if you see the
01:47boots and now it's made three minutes, thermoplastic filament that is, you know,
01:54sprayed continuously in and around, you know, did you see the lab? You didn't see the lab yet.
02:01So you have a robot arm and at the end of it, you have a foot, a midsole and then,
02:06and then it goes around.
02:08This is what you see, the, the thermoplastic filament that goes around three minutes, 30, 30 grams.
02:15That's, that's going to be the lightest shoe on the, uh, uh, yeah.
02:20And you like the color. You know why I'm saying that. You like the color.
02:23Oh, you see, he went quick there. He was fast. Very fast. Very fast.
02:29No, anyway, no, I'm joking aside. So you need to arrive with something to present to someone like Kilian.
02:35We're trying to do what we can do. Obviously it is a competition.
02:40We all know, but we're trying to focus on what we can do, try to have an impact with Kilian,
02:45because Kilian is participating also in the development of the, of the boots of, uh,
02:50like I explained to you, textile or whatever product is going to be,
02:54that is going to be in part and is going to have to wear, but we're trying to be what
02:59we can be aligned with ourselves
03:02and, and, and make the best product that we can, can make.
03:05And also I know we're talking about Kilian.
03:07And I know we're talking about having an impact in the game,
03:10but if we talk about the impact in the game, we talk about women's football also.
03:15So if you talk about women's football more often than not,
03:18women play football with men's boots.
03:22It's not really adaptable and for, for, for, for, for women.
03:26So we, we also going to work heavily with,
03:29with Sydney to try to develop the best possible boots for, for, for women.
03:33And I know, and I know obviously Kilian is here and, and as you said,
03:38this is outstanding, but the impact is in football.
03:40And if you talk football, you have to involve women's football.
03:43And that's something that's very important.
03:45This is where actually, basically, if you talk on a global scale,
03:48this is where we are going to really start.
03:51I mean, I mean, Kilian is here, but the world cup in Brazil, 2027, it's, it's very important.
03:57So not only Kilian is here, Sydney is here, but having an impact in the game.
04:02And if we talk about the game, we must definitely have to talk about the women's game.
04:06But you know, the feel good factor, you need to feel, you need to feel good.
04:11You know, when you look at when the, the touch, you have that, that second kind of skin factor.
04:16Like I always said, it's impossible, obviously, but if I could have played football barefoot
04:22and having studs under, under my foot, that's the best feeling you have.
04:26Yeah, that's the best feeling, but, you know, that's the closest that you're going to be.
04:31And like I said to you, more importantly, the big man needs to feel comfortable.
04:36You know, when I talk about the big man needs to feel comfortable,
04:40because at the end of the day, he needs to feel great in what he's going to wear.
04:45And I know you might ask me the question, so I'm going to go ahead of why he didn't wear
04:49them against,
04:51against Atletico.
04:53Basically, the boot is going to be ready 2027.
04:55Kilian has one that, as you saw in the training ground, that he can wear.
04:59But more importantly, he needs to feel comfortable.
05:03We don't put pressure on nobody.
05:05The deadline is 2027.
05:07If you want to wear it before, we also understand where he's coming from,
05:11how he is mentally in his head and the switch that he needs to make.
05:13But we don't put this type of pressure on the player that we have.
05:18And he's still developing the boots with us and see how we can reach that pinnacle where he's going to
05:23feel comfortable to wear it before when he has to wear it.
05:27Well, I don't know, because I don't play anymore.
05:30But no, I tried them, but not at the level of what Kilian can do.
05:35You and I can try something, and then you have him.
05:39The way he goes, his power, the turning, the engine.
05:42No, but that's what I'm saying.
05:43Then that's him and him, and now he needs to feel.
05:46And we go to a level of...
05:48But this is why, like I said to you, you have Tobias that is here.
05:51Obviously, I'm sitting here.
05:52A lot of people that have been involved.
05:54But again, I have to talk about the team.
05:56Because to be able to create something in almost 10 months, more or less,
06:03to be able to attract Kilian, present him a boot in 10 months, try to get him.
06:11It's quick.
06:12So you have to give the team a lot of credit, because to be able to prepare,
06:19to have a collection that you see there.
06:21And again, like you said, it is big.
06:23We're going into a market that's really big.
06:26But we're going to try to do it our way, without trying to chase any trends or whatever.
06:33We're going to have our one.
06:34We're going to have our way of thinking about it.
06:37That togetherness, the cohesion, or having Kilian and Sidney working on the product.
06:41And then what's going to come after, we will see.
06:44There is some other stuff that we're not telling you, obviously, that might happen.
06:49But yes, as you said, being able to arrive on the scene with Kilian Mbappé is just crazy.
06:58It's just crazy, because if I go back to when I first arrived in this building, there wasn't even a
07:03boot yet.
07:04There wasn't even, it was, I'm not going to make it, but it was a dream that we thought of,
07:11and now we are in it.
07:14I will be honest with you, it's not even that.
07:17For me, it was just being in touch with him.
07:19Being able to, having the opportunity to, even him listening to us, already you know that you're not too far.
07:27You're doing something right, because he was interested in what we were offering him.
07:31And also, some type of leadership.
07:35This is, we're talking about Kilian Mbappé.
07:37He knows what he wants to wear.
07:39He knows how he wants to wear it.
07:41Why don't you want to give him the importance of being involved, of building what he wants to wear, and
07:47how he wants to wear it.
07:49He has done enough in the game to tell you that he deserves that.
07:53Right?
07:54Do you understand what I'm saying?
07:55And so, he started to listen, and you kind of, you know, start dreaming.
08:03And you're like, is this going to happen?
08:05But again, like I said to Tobias, now it starts.
08:11Now, we need to make sure that everything is going to be okay.
08:14There's going to be some bumps along the way.
08:16You know, nothing is perfect.
08:17Nothing is linear.
08:19This is how it is.
08:20But as long as we have that togetherness.
08:22Someone earlier asked me what would be my dream, or what would I like to see in the future.
08:28I think for me, you need to have that identity, that philosophy, and the within factor.
08:31I just don't want to let my team down.
08:33I want him to be happy.
08:34I want him to be happy.
08:35And normally, when good energy comes from something, then people see it because it's genuine.
08:40Then people will like it.
08:41But it has to come from within.
08:43And so, that's the most important thing.
08:46Like, make sure I don't disappoint him.
08:47Make sure I don't disappoint Kilian.
08:49Because if he's happy, and he plays well, then people will be happy and enjoy what he's saying.
08:54Yes, very difficult, but yeah, until you change, until it happens.
09:03But, you know, it happened to...
09:05But like I said, when you asked me what did I think when he signed, it was more the fact
09:11that everything started for me when we had the first discussion, and he sounded interested.
09:17And, you know, we all looked at each other, whoever that was involved.
09:20But, again, please, it's very important for me that you put it out there.
09:25Like, yes, we were talking, Tobias, you have my agent that's there also.
09:30We were talking, you know, Kilian and everything.
09:34But I was sleeping at night.
09:37I was going home and sleeping.
09:38The amount of people in this building that had to stay up, pressure to deliver the boots.
09:46You know, is it the right thing?
09:48Is it the right thing?
09:49Is it not going to like it?
09:51You know, those are the people that should also be put in.
09:55Because, like, I thought, like, yeah, do this, do this, do this, do that, do this, do this.
09:59But then I go home.
10:01I sleep.
10:02You know, but those people that have been, you know, the staff, all the technical aspect of it,
10:08to be able to deliver what has been delivered, to be able to have Kilian.
10:12Because at the end of the very day, and I know people talked about a lot of things, right?
10:17But if this is not good, it's not happening.
10:23So, that's very important.
10:25It's a team.
10:27The team is the star.
10:28But, as you know, I lost against Spain also in the Olympic Games.
10:35Baena and everybody were there.
10:37Pao Kubarsi.
10:38I'm not going to name the whole team.
10:40Lopez.
10:41I mean, I've seen it.
10:43We've seen it every time.
10:44And so, and I say it all the time.
10:47The way you guys work and the way you go about things, identity, philosophy, team matters before individuals.
10:56And you have your reward right now.
10:58The best team won at the World Cup.
11:00Nobody can say anything.
11:01It was a master class.
11:03And people talk about the only goal conceded.
11:06People talk about this.
11:07People talk about that.
11:08But if I'm, don't quote me, but I'm almost sure.
11:12Spain only conceded 10 shots on target the whole tournament.
11:18Playing there.
11:20Yeah, it's going to happen.
11:21If you press well and you make sure that the team is further to your goal and you,
11:26one thing that always surprised me with Spain is people said,
11:29Oh, you're going to do this.
11:30If you play Spain, do this.
11:32But if you don't have the ball, you can't play football without the ball.
11:35So how do you do?
11:38You know, but I'm also going to, if you think about Paulo Kubarsi, the tackle.
11:43You remember that tackle?
11:45That's a goal.
11:47But look, the way it is, this is why, I don't know if you remember the Olympic Games.
11:52I went to see the coach straight away.
11:54I was like, what you guys are doing is just outstanding.
11:56It's not the first time.
11:57It happens.
11:58It happened again.
11:59And maybe before people could have said, with that team, with that team,
12:05I'm talking about the Xavi, Iniesta, Busquets, and you had to win.
12:10No, people didn't realize that it was a team.
12:13Maybe people realize it a bit more now because maybe the names are not as big.
12:17If you take Puyol, Ramos, and you know, but it's the same.
12:21I think it's different.
12:23No, I'm talking about the system.
12:25I'm talking about the system.
12:26I'm not talking about the players.
12:27And I always love the way you guys go about things.
12:32You go about it, team.
12:34You go about guys that know the youngsters.
12:38You know, they add them.
12:40So they know that there is a continuity.
12:43And so it's just, yeah, what I witnessed, like I said to you, the World Cup for me was the
12:49comebacks of Argentina.
12:55Because in every game, everyone thought they were always out.
12:59And they came back for a very long time.
13:01The brilliance of France, right?
13:04Everyone was like, oh my God, who can stop that team?
13:07The only team that I didn't want to meet is Spain.
13:09Because it's very difficult.
13:11We always struggled.
13:12And there were so many things.
13:14But Spain was so dominant on and off the ball.
13:19It's just great to watch.
13:22That's not my topic.
13:24That I wish him all the best.
13:26No, I don't know if it's very physical or not.
13:29I just think it depends what you talk about physicality.
13:32You talk about physicality impact or the intensity.
13:36Are you talking about the intensity or the impact?
13:38It depends.
13:39Because in my time, I was that.
13:42Now it's a yellow card.
13:43It's a red card.
13:44You can't do this anymore.
13:45You can't play like that.
13:46Are you talking about the intensity?
13:48Yes, the intensity has changed.
13:50A lot of teams defend low and play in transition.
13:55Apart from the team that like to be on the ball and play up.
13:58But more importantly, you see a lot of teams going low.
14:02And they play in transition.
14:03When you play in transition, you have to go and come back.
14:05And so it's a lot.
14:08But, you know, yeah, obviously the game has changed.
14:10You see a lot of pattern of play.
14:12You know, you see a lot of things that have changed in the game.
14:15But it's just normal.
14:16But one thing that didn't change is you guys.
14:18You play the same way.
14:20Team moves.
14:22Ball moves.
14:23But, yeah, the game, I would say,
14:25the game is more the intensity of the game
14:27and the repetition of sprints
14:28and the high intensity of the runs.
14:31High runs, high intensity has changed.
14:35But at the end of the day, the game is still the same.
14:37You have to put the ball in the back of the net.
14:40The best team right now.
14:41Right now.
14:42But it can change.
14:43This is why I don't really like, I'll be honest with you,
14:45I don't like to...
14:47Because this is now, things can change.
14:49If you take Paris Saint-Germain,
14:51the last two years,
14:52you take the beginning of the season,
14:54you will never say they will win the Champions League.
14:56And then they won the Champions League,
14:57so everything can change.
14:59But Balsa right now,
15:00they look scary.
15:03It is scary.
15:04It is scary.
15:05It is scary.
15:05It is scary.
15:05It is scary.
15:05It is scary.
