00:00You've taken part in derbies before,
00:02it's Feyenoord-Sparta, isn't it, and obviously Kostka is Feyenoord against Ajax,
00:07so what are you expecting from your first league Merseyside derby,
00:10particularly as it's the last Merseyside derby it could support, potentially?
00:15Yeah, I think it's going to be special for everyone,
00:19for all the fans that are involved, for the players that are involved,
00:24and as well for the managers.
00:26To be part of this game is already special,
00:28and to be part of the last one on Goodison Park makes it probably even more special.
00:32But, yeah, it's only a nice experience if the result goes your way,
00:38so that is what we are focusing on most for this game.
00:44Would it be added satisfaction to take all three points
00:48because it's the last one on Goodison Park,
00:50or is it purely just about three points because of where you are in your season?
00:55I never speak about three points before a game,
00:59you can only talk about this after the game,
01:01especially if you face a team like Everton that have done so well in the last three or four games,
01:06three clean sheets, a very good game during the week against Wolves.
01:10So, yeah, we know we have to be ready for a tough game,
01:16against a good side, against a well-managed side as well,
01:20and probably the fans will be loud.
01:24I would say maybe just as loud as the Newcastle ones,
01:27but probably these ones are even going to be louder,
01:29so we have to be prepared for everything for this game.
