00:00With them being second bottom of the league, without a win this season,
00:04everyone will have Manchester City as favourites.
00:06What makes Southampton difficult, Pep?
00:09I said, the plan is there and they want to try to do it,
00:13and at the same time, sometimes, you know,
00:18to adapt to the Premier League in the beginning,
00:20but always I have a lot of respect for the teams.
00:23Like it was in the Championship, we were promoted.
00:25The Champions League is never-ending, it looks like.
00:28I don't know how we can play in the Premier League,
00:31how many games we have, the Championship is even worse.
00:35So, because we played there, the FA Cup and Carabao Cup,
00:40I had the feeling that if they do it, it's because they are good.
00:44They rely on the manager, they do it, and yeah.
00:47I saw the games, Arsenal, Lesley and the other ones,
00:50they always had the moments, always had the moments,
00:53and they want to try to do it.
00:54They have courage, brave, and especially with the ball.
00:58Without the ball, I don't know what's going to happen.
01:00It depends with us, it depends on us if we defend deeper or not.
01:06So, we'll see.
