Answer: "We really trust our rats, because very often after clearing a minefield, our team will play a game of soccer on the cleared field to assure the quality of our work."

Step-by-step explanation:

Rats like the African giant pouched rat, Magawa, are used to sniff out landmines in Cambodia where the reign of the Khmer Rouge saw over 6 million landmines being buried.

The team in question plays soccer on fields cleared of landmines with the assistance of the rats which means that they trust the rats' work because in playing on the filed, they are putting their lives on the line and if the rats' work was anything beneath perfect, people could die if they touched a landmine on the field.
