00:00Can I ask you about Renfrew please as well, because they are the last team to win at the Etihad Stadium nearly two years ago.
00:07How have you been able to do that as a club?
00:10I don't remember against the Thomas Frank team, a person who I admire unbelievably.
00:15So I don't remember an easy game against Renfrew, never ever.
00:19Since we were promoted in the Premier League, I don't remember.
00:23Always have been tough here and there, so we are no exception.
00:27They changed a bit the shape.
00:30I've had the feeling that play a little more the player style when it was in the Championship.
00:37They want to move the process before when I've been told it was maybe more direct.
00:41They can do it, because they have fast players, strong players up front,
00:45but they have a really, really good process in the build-up.
00:49The high pressing is unbelievable, it's man to man, so aggressive.
00:55And after we defend, defend so tight, so compact, really well organised in the transition set-pieces.
01:00It's a complete, complete team.
01:02I don't remember, I've played already many, many years and many times,
01:07and always have been so difficult.
01:09I had the feeling tomorrow will not be an exception.
