And since we were, you know, looking for, Boris couldn’t cover all weeks anyway, so we needed someone else, and then Holger had the dialogue with Severin also, so it was, you know, easy to ask him if it could be interesting and obviously he has huge experience from Roger. So we thought, and the chemistry was good. So it looks like a perfect fit.”
