00:00I know that's a tough one. Brentford was my first Premier League game, I think.

00:10And then I already thought,

00:14if this is going to be the resistance we get every week,

00:19then this is a more difficult league than the Eredivisie,

00:24which I knew before I came, but it was proven that day as well.

00:28And they've had a very good season till now, had a 2-2 against City, great game,

00:34both teams creating a lot of chances,

00:38and their manager has done a fantastic job for so many years now,

00:41you can see that it's a team that has worked together with their manager for a long time.

00:46If you continue with the numbers since he arrived, yeah.

00:49It will depend on the team, it will depend on him as well,

00:53but it's exceptional news for all of us, for the club.

00:58When one player decides to sign this type of contract,

01:02never had done before, it's because he wants to show how desperate he wants to be here.

01:09Otherwise, all the agents and players always say,

01:14no, sign one or two or three-year contract, and next one, next one,

01:18because ten years, many things can happen.

01:20And that means a proof of confidence and trust for that club.

01:24Sometimes it's harder for the players because they have some information,

01:28and you can feel it in every team, in every summer, it's like that.

01:34So, for me, it's harder to prepare the game when we lose.

01:39When we win, we can manage everything, expectations, bad mood for some players,

01:46so we'll prepare the game in the same way, just focus on the next game.

01:52We're going to try to be as good as we possibly can tomorrow night,

01:56that's the objective.

01:57They are a really good side, that's why they beat us last season,

02:01and we proved as well when we played them at Villaparque

02:03that they are a really difficult opponent,

02:05so we're preparing the best way to win.

02:08We know the difficulty of the team that they are, that's why they're performing so well.

02:12They have an excellent coach, very good players, really good organisation,

02:16and we are so used to it in the Premier League, it's not very different every three days,

02:21so tomorrow we're going to have to be really good again to win the game.

02:25They changed the manager, so it's not the same manager, it's not the same idea,

02:29you can see, so I don't think the last game there can be important for them and for us.

02:36It's a new game, it's a new manager, so a different way to attack, a different way to defend,

02:41and hopefully we can be ready in the same way we were in the last games and get the three points.

02:47He's come down, he's taken on a really big job at Tottenham Hotspur, as everybody's aware.

02:52I think he's done a lot of really good things at Tottenham.

02:55I think his side can be a little bit up and down at the moment,

02:58but that's only because that's the way football is,

03:01and I have to say, they're a side which play incredibly open, attacking football,

03:08so everybody's quite aware of what he doesn't change.

03:11He's said that to everybody, he doesn't change what he does, so all credit to him.

03:15I think we will prepare well, we know everything about Nottingham Forest,

03:19and I think we will be ready.

03:21They are doing really well, they play really simple but really well, and I'm surprised.
