Then I understand your question, and of course a coach needs time and needs stability and is a very good thing to feel stability. I’m not saying stability helps you sleep, I’m saying that stability gives you a different way of thinking and you are not just thinking about today, you are also thinking about tomorrow, you are also thinking the future. That’s the way it is. It’s Mr. Abramovich’s club and you have to understand that it’s up to him to make his decisions. “In my case, I was there in two different periods and I was champion in two different periods and I’m very happy to have been there before and have that opportunity.
