00:00I felt I should, you know, I should stay here of course because they want me for
00:13obvious reasons, for the results. Yeah, for defeats. Listen, when you are nine
00:17years here, I think eight years away and a manager with a long, long time in one
00:22club, you leave all the scenarios, all the situations. Like you are able to lose
00:27four games in a row. At the same time, you are able to win four Premier Leagues in a
00:32row. A tough game, always have been with Ancelotti. But of course we had to break, you
00:39have to break the, you know, the situation, you know, to start to win games. We know
00:44it. I believe that, call me naive, but I truly believe that I'm the right guy
00:51in the right moment. I could be wrong, but the earth still will turn, the
00:57sun will rise again. It doesn't matter. So I'm not worried about that. I truly
01:03believe that I'm the right guy for this job. On Sunday, you will see the list of
01:09players, the starting 11. You don't feel a lot of change, but you will feel it in
01:14the game during the positioning, in the way they receive the ball or to cover
01:19the ball. You will see some changes. They've shown that they are very, very
01:26capable of playing teams like us. I think it was against United where they
01:31had a penalty first. So they've been, in my opinion, a bit unlucky, but their
01:36playing style has been excellent and they've been into almost every game. They
01:40could have got a result in almost every game they've played. So I know everybody
01:46is looking at that Madrid and City is difficult, but in my opinion, Southampton
01:51is going to be a difficult one as well.
01:53Well, they've been really good. They've been really consistent. They've been top
01:56against the best opposition, especially. So big credit to Nuno, the coaching staff
02:01for what they are doing. Very clear, their intentions, how they managed to
02:07take the game where they want. I'm really impressed, to be fair. We've already done.
02:12Not easy game, absolutely. And you can see week after week that it's always
02:18complicated, no matter which team where you are in the table, you struggle. But
02:24we're going to try to make sure that we are focused, we are prepared. And we, as I
02:28said many times, we're going to try to prepare to win the best way and try to
02:32win.
02:33How many times you asked me a similar but different question. Every game is
02:36Michael Evan. Every game is vital to the fans. It's vital to me. It's vital to the
02:39players. You know, it's got that feel about Evan. Every game is a massive game.
02:43And it's another massive game for us. And we've got to take on a side that, you
02:46know, they do have ups and downs, but they're a good side. And, you know, I've
02:49massive respect for the manager.
