Now, you know, as a central defender, you look at this current crop that FC Supra has, and maybe before joining and getting to know everybody, and in addition to Ismail's tearing his ACL, what was maybe your first impression on this group as a whole, this defensive group as a unit, maybe?
3:23
A big surprise, because I don't know about...
3:26
The talent that you have in Quebec and especially now in Montreal, we have a lot of guys.
3:35
It's tough to be a professional because in Canada, we don't have a lot of issues.
3:42
In Europe, you have a lot of clubs and if you start with one club, at the end, it's too difficult.
3:52
You can jump to the other side and to the other club In Canada, here we have just CF Montreal.

And now with the Supra du Québec, we have another opportunity for the young guys from Québec to expose his profile and to be maybe one day a professional like MLS standing.

now coming into this job nick was known to play mostly a three back at uh csno coming in here now looks to be relatively fluid but looks to be a four back um You know, what was kind of maybe your analysis coming into the group, especially because you didn't come in at the start of the season, coming into this group and taking a look at how the defense plays and what maybe you identified as points of improvement, what particularly impressed you about at least the start of the season for this?

44:37
Je remets pas en doute euh, j'oserais pas, de toute façon, les choix de, d'Id-- d'Deschamps parce que c'est jamais facile et euh, et il va les assumer de toute façon, ces choix-là.
44:46
Mais il y a Rabiot aussi qui est sorti à la mi-temps parce qu'il a pris jaune.
44:49
Je pense qu'à l'heure d'aujourd'hui, on est capable quand même de, de gérer un match, surtout un joueur de, de ce, de ce calibre.
44:55
Avec un jaune euh, oui, il peut peut-être, tu sais, de temps en temps, faire une erreur et peut-être prendre la deuxième.
45:01
Mais ça, c'est un risque à prendre.
