00:00 A really tough test, we played, I can't remember an easy game yet,
00:09 we played away at Newcastle, for example, it was a tough test.
00:13 As well, away at Chelsea, obviously really tough,
00:18 so the away games so far were all, for different reasons, really tough,
00:22 and the home games were not easy.
00:24 Tottenham's doing really well, Ante seems to be a top look,
00:30 coming out to Tottenham, I think they were all desperate for some offensive football,
00:36 and he's delivering that, obviously, and in a year when Harry Kane left the club,
00:41 yeah, he's doing extremely well.
00:44 He's one of these managers, I think, that it's fair to say,
00:47 has made an impact on the competition, not just his club.
00:51 Because when he came in, with the way Liverpool went about things,
00:56 I think he challenged quite a few of the conventions about the Premier League,
01:01 and sort of introduced a new style of play that others have followed.
01:05 It's a great test for us tomorrow, because they kind of bring something different
01:09 to probably any other team in the league, in the way they play,
01:12 and the manner in which they go about things,
01:14 and it'll be a really good test for us.
01:17 Normally all the games we play are easy. It's happened.
01:22 So, we don't win the Premier League for 10 points in front in November,
01:26 it's a disaster. So I know exactly what it is.
01:30 So, with great respect, always we struggle in goals,
01:33 and when you see the quality individually that they have,
01:37 and the manager, Anil, that made an incredible job last season in Bournemouth,
01:40 and I had the feeling they will do it too.
01:42 It's a team that the quality is there. We struggle always in goals,
01:46 hopefully we can respond with these three games before international break.
01:50 Definitely, I think both sides will be different.
01:53 But we can't believe from it, but I know the opponent is looking for
02:00 a defence, clear, and that will be their fuel.
02:04 Really important the victory, not only because we are...
02:09 That victory brings us to the next round, if not because of to trust,
02:13 and to build our confidence. I think another very solid performance
02:20 that we translate in a victory, that the player need, the team need,
02:26 and our fans also.
02:27 We want to play like we did that day, even better, and still win the game.
02:32 We have some changes, and the team is in a different moment.
02:37 The objective is going to be the same, to be better than Bournemouth,
02:40 and beat them, let's see what happens tomorrow.
02:42 It's been a while now, it's been three and a half years,
02:45 almost four years since that moment. A really special one.
02:48 A lot of things have changed. Many of them are positive,
02:53 and a lot of things on that journey, that's for sure.
02:56 That's what you're in the game for. For every tough opponent,
03:00 for every team you play of that calibre, there's also a small opportunity
03:05 of doing something special, something that you'll be remembered for.
03:10 You go into the game looking at the opportunities,
03:14 and not necessarily the consequences of the fact that they're a very,
03:19 very strong team.
03:20 I don't think they'll be too worried about that, in the sense of they made a lot of changes.
03:25 They're working very hard in games, they're playing structured,
03:27 they're trying to get the ball forwards,
03:28 they're trying to ask questions of the opposition.
03:31 It's always a tough ask coming up, but they're working hard in games.
03:36 So, we've certainly got to deliver a performance.
03:38 We certainly take no one lightly, that's for sure, and the players know that.
