00:00 How defining will the next two weeks be for you and your season?
00:05 Percentage wise.
00:07 Percentage wise?
00:10 Very, for sure. Because we can be in all competitions going into the semi-finals of the Champions
00:16 League and being top of the Premier League or not. So every game is going to define what
00:22 our future looks like.
00:23 With that in mind, how excited are you and the players, regardless of this football cliché
00:30 of just looking at one game at a time? It's impossible now, isn't it, to just look at
00:33 one game. You must be looking at the whole season and what's left and what is there to
00:37 achieve.
00:38 It's the only thing possible to look at one day and one game. It's the only thing that
00:44 is possible because it's the only thing that maintains your focus and determining the tasks
00:48 that you have to do on the day, which is the only thing that you can control.
00:51 So you've never woken up one morning in the last month, let's say, and thought, 'I could,
00:57 if things go right, be the first Arsenal man in 20 years to be champions of this country?'
01:02 I don't think like this, to be fair. I think about what we have to do next to be the next
01:07 opponent and to maintain the position that we are in. Still very far.
