00:00Wednesday's referee has a history with Jude. Jude was fined for pointing out that he was a match fixer. Is that an uncomfortable situation, do you think?
00:10No, not at all. I think we have to respect UEFA on whoever they decide to pick as the ref. That won't change anything about us.
00:22I think we still just focus on the game in hand. Not too much about what refs we've been given or this and that. So for us it won't make any difference.
00:34Have you ever played in a game where you think for one reason or whatever the referee has got it in for you and you've changed the way you've played as a result?
00:43No, I think not really. I think sometimes in the heated moment you get angry in games and you might think that but no.
00:53And like I said, look, whatever ref's been picked has been picked. We just have to be ready and not focus about that.
