01:22 - Difference in UCL: The ball? It's something you grow up wanting.
01:59 - best trainer at club?: I do it for myself, I don't do it to get closer to the team, I do it to be a better human being.

04:30 - Scandinavian group at club? for us it's a great dynamic and at last club Brentford there was a Danish contingent - others don't understand us and it's fun
05:18 - how to say your name? In English and Danish it's different.
05:58 - how trophy mentality impact you? big squad and all want to play more minutes- will need all squad coming towards end of the season
