“They are great competitors. The duel against OL is one of the most important ones and I’m sure they only think about that. They are going through a very difficult time but they are professionals above all and know how to do the part of things perfectly. It will not be an obstacle for them. I spoke with them a bit but they don’t know much about what is going on. So we didn’t really discuss it, actuallyShe added.
