00:00 These games, good games, great games, fantastic football games.

00:03 I said to everybody, I met my Mrs Oide directly after the game,

00:07 she was completely buzzing.

00:09 So it must be good fun to watch it from the stands as well.

00:12 Otherwise, no chance.

00:19 We try it, because I know, we talk just about that.

00:23 Skip the ball, keep it, provoke fouls, keep it, keep it.

00:26 But sometimes you can, because they are really good.

00:29 The best team I have ever seen in the high pressing and in all the process.

00:33 I don't think I have ever been involved in a title race with three teams.

00:36 The only thing I need for the moment,

00:43 besides I would prefer to have 30 points between us and all the other teams,

00:48 but the realistic thing is, are we really in that race from a performance point of view?

00:55 And today, I saw a team who is.

01:00 It was a fascinating game of football, littered with mistakes,

01:04 maybe because of the occasion, maybe because of conditions.

01:08 There were moments of brilliance which didn't necessarily lead to goal-scoring opportunities,

01:14 in fact the biggest opportunities I think in the game were kind of wasteful in the end,

01:21 but that's not taking away from what was a fantastic game of football.

01:24 I'm buzzing off it.

01:25 Every game has good quality.

01:27 You are not going to undermine our Premier League's previous.

01:31 I'm sorry, I know.

01:33 What defines the quality of what they have done,

01:35 the six Premier Leagues in five years is the quality for our opponent.

01:38 And this is our opponent during seven, eight years.

01:42 Not even one time drop, sometimes drop one season, but the other one,

01:45 they know it's worth it.

01:47 So today I reflect on the guys we have done this year against Atopen and against Jurgen Thiem.

01:52 Give me more credit for what we have done.
