    – Due to the fact that we have spent a lot of time in dressing rooms and chewing together, we tend to have quite tough jargon when we have contact, even if it is with a twinkle in the eye, of course. Now the tone became a little softer, because we got nostalgic when we looked back at the career he had and the memories we have together.
