00:00At this stage of the season, in January, it's normal that the teams suffer injuries.
00:05It's also true that we are suffering it in key players, key positions and probably differential players,
00:11but we have been dealing with this throughout the season.
00:15It's just another matter to try to overcome all these problems.
00:18I'm announcing it press conference after press conference,
00:23so my work is to optimise the resources that are available on Saturday.
00:28We are very confident that the players that are going to step on the pitch
00:31are the best players to face this derby.
00:34I don't want to find excuses or to talk about referees or the circumstances that I cannot control.
00:40I hope that tomorrow we don't need to talk about the referee
00:43because that will mean that the referee has no influence at all in the game.
00:48Last year, I went through a lot of important games and this is one of them.
00:53So choosing what is the most...
00:54Not the toughest.
00:56The toughest? No, I don't think so.
00:59I don't want to enumerate, but I repeat, I think that Mohun Bagan, they are the most informed team.
01:06Probably the chances are more in their side, but we are going to try to do everything to neutralise them.
01:12I think focus on the performance and what is going to happen on the pitch.
01:15And on the pitch, these important emotions and all these things, they are not going to be relevant.
01:20What is going to be relevant is the confidence, the understanding of the players,
01:24the willingness to win the game and probably avoiding critical mistakes
01:29because these kind of games usually are being decided by small mistakes.
