00:00I think preparing for every game takes a lot of time,
00:04and one of the most important things is to prepare them for what they can expect.
00:09And what they can expect is mostly about the players they face,
00:13but I think now, playing in a hostile environment with 75,000,
00:18players have to be aware of that, but the good thing for me
00:23is it might be my first time that I go there with Liverpool,
00:26it's going to be my second time over there,
00:29but many of these players have played there before,
00:31so I don't think I have to prepare them for these 75,000,
00:34they've been used to this, but I have to prepare them
00:37in the best possible way of what they can expect,
00:40because United play, in my opinion, a bit different than the last two seasons,
00:44so therefore I need to prepare them.
00:47Some of them try to tell me a few things about it,
00:49but I don't think that's really necessary.
00:51If you're starting to work at Liverpool, everybody knows,
00:55every player that comes in knows, and every manager that comes in knows
00:58how important the game against United is.
01:00It's similar to when you work at Feyenoord, how big the game against Ajax is.
01:04People tell you, of course, but it's not really necessary,
01:09because if you follow the game of football, which I do,
01:12for a long time you know the importance of United against Liverpool.
