00:00 I don't think there was a bigger contrast last season, 9-0 at home,
00:03 victory, 1-0 away defeat.
00:06 Oh, Bournemouth.
00:07 What are you expecting this time around against Bournemouth?
00:10 Yeah...
00:12 Something in between.
00:16 So it's not one game, but I think the new manager stands for a specific style of play,
00:23 if you did your research you could have found out that he's...
00:27 There's no coincidence that the Bournemouth board thought about him and brought him in.
00:34 He did an exceptional job in his last club, with a pretty...
00:39 Do you use the word "unconventional"?
00:42 Yeah, like "way".
00:44 I like to use in the past very often the word "organised chaos",
00:50 but he obviously likes not only the word, he's organising the chaos as well,
00:55 so it's a tough one.
00:58 They will go for it, that's how they did in the first game now,
01:01 they will go for it, they will press us properly,
01:06 and on top of that they have an offensive approach.
01:12 If we let them play they will play, if not they have an idea how to get in behind the line,
01:20 that's the idea they have.
01:22 It's not the most complicated football idea, but it's a good one.
01:25 But it's the first home game, maybe we should not forget that,
01:30 for a long time, to be honest, when you start a pre-season
01:34 a lot of things you don't need immediately because you need the time to work on it,
01:39 but the first home game is not one of them, it's really the one thing you cannot wait for,
01:43 and that's exactly how it is.
01:44 We missed Anfield, missed the atmosphere,
01:47 as we know they will probably ask about that as well,
01:50 there are a few little problems, but there's still a wonderful stadium there.
01:53 All the rest will be sorted.
01:56 I'm pretty sure the people are excited as well and happy to see us again,
02:06 so let's use that as well.
02:10 Yes, it's the Premier League, and early in the season there are no favourites for nothing,
02:16 you just have to be ready, you have to fight, you have to run, you have to play,
02:20 you have to shoot, you have to tackle, all these kind of things.
02:23 And that's what I want to see.
