You already were, yeah.

Let's say I'm a legend.

You said once you wouldn't call yourself a legend until you'd won a trophyA prize given to a winner of a competition or contest. with the club.

Look, I mean, 17 years—nobody has done it—so with such amazing players, yeah, today's the day.

Probably I would say today I'm a legend of this club.

So, yeah, let's enjoy.

Let's uh, let's celebrate.

How does it feel winning the first trophy for 17 years?

Wow—feeling amazing.

That's what I always dreamedTo have strong wishes for something to happen in the future. for, and uh, today is the day that happened—dream come really, really true.

So, yeah, yeah.

What can I say?

I'm so, so happy—happy, so happy.

It's the man in the world.

How important has your manager been?

How important has your manager been?

I think he's been under a lot of pressure, a lot of scrutinyVery careful examination or observation of someone or something., a lot of criticism.

You as the captain, what have you felt like behind that?

And how do you feel now we've won this—lifted the trophy for him?

Look, I mean, back in the day, when you look at the whole season, there will always be some situationA set of circumstances in which one finds oneself. where you're having tough times.

But we as players always stuck together—with the injuries, with the young players—they always step up, and I always give them some good advice.

You know, I always want to talk positive, and uh,

I think I've been very lucky that I have such an amazing group of players with me,

and that's why I think it was the tournament that happened now.

Congratulations, because if there's anyone out of that squadA group of players in a sports team. that deserves a trophy, it's you,

Sonny—with the football that you've played, the goals you've scored, the way you've played—you are a true legendA person who is famous and admired for their achievements..
