00:00 Obviously you've been involved in really tight title races, mostly with City,
00:03 where every game seems to be 'must win' or 'you win' and they inevitably win,
00:07 does it seem like that's happening again?
00:10 No idea.
00:11 I think what we learned over the years is that if you want to be around City,
00:17 you better win all your football games, because they do.
00:20 That's all. This is the league, this is the time,
00:27 the City is dominating, that's how it is.
00:30 They play incredible stuff and would probably consider themselves
00:38 not playing their very best season, but when they are...
00:42 We play a very good season at the moment, two points ahead of City,
00:46 and they play kind of a season, two points behind us.
00:50 It's really interesting. So that's the situation,
00:54 we could discuss that or we don't do it, and just take it like it is,
00:58 and go from here and try to play the best season we can play.
01:03 We face them, we want to beat them,
01:05 in the other games we don't have anything to do with them,
01:07 but that's the thing. Arsenal beat us, they are definitely there,
01:14 they don't beat us, then ask them or other people, I don't know what that means,
01:20 but it's so many games to come, we always judge them at the moment,
01:23 and then it's like, "By the way, you play there, there, there."
01:26 You can lose all these games, unfortunately, that's how it is.
01:28 You can win them as well, that's cool, but you could lose them as well,
01:31 and then you lose key players at the absolutely wrong moment,
01:34 and we all have to get through this.
01:36 So you ask these questions, you try to get answers,
01:39 the only problem is we cannot give the answers,
01:41 and not only we cannot give the answers because we don't know,
01:43 but we will try to make it as hard as somehow possible.
01:49 But everybody wants to finish the season above us,
01:54 and let's see if we can do that, let's trust, what we want to try.
