You mentioned Irene Van Djk just before,
00:00:01
one of the greatest ever podcast. It
00:00:03
sounds like she's quite a quite
00:00:04
sensitive and
00:00:05
>> you you can't treat everyone the same.
00:00:07
>> So I'm I'm sure I even remember seeing
00:00:09
Irene Van Djk in some games like
00:00:10
clapping when the other team is scoring.
00:00:12
>> She did. Yeah. Yeah. So I remember
00:00:14
playing against her and she would be
00:00:16
chatting to you and like we're always
00:00:18
taught don't talk to your opposition but
00:00:20
when you're at goal shoot and goalkeep
00:00:21
you do have a lot of time where you're
00:00:23
just kind of standing next to each other
00:00:24
and she would be chatting and um smiling
00:00:28
and then like if I got an intercept off
00:00:31
her she'd be clapping like you know like
00:00:34
clapping the defensive player getting
00:00:37
the intercept. It was like that's
00:00:39
strange. But that was kind that was her
00:00:42
personality. Like she was genuinely um
00:00:44
pleased for you. And I think that's what
00:00:46
the the public absolutely loved about
00:00:48
her as
