00:00In the Premier League, every team has to play with everyone, but yeah, that's true.

00:12That normally happens here in the Premier League, you know that?

00:14Always they put the toughest schedules for the European teams in the important stages,

00:19in the most difficult ones, because it's tough to play against Real Madrid or Bayern Munich.

00:27The problem is in the middle you have Newcastle, you know, and always they are so kind for

00:32the calendar, for many, many years it always happened that way.

00:35It would be a big boost for us, you know, winning big matches is always something special

00:41on it, every time we play a big match against our big rivals it brings something extra.

00:46It's the confidence, it's the emotion, it's the fact that you are there and you continue

00:51to win, so that's what we want to achieve.

00:54I was there for four years, so I know how competitive they are and how willing they

00:58are and how they can sustain that competitiveness, regardless if they win and win and win again.

01:02That's what I meant.

01:04In every department, a very good and strong team, and they deserve to be where they are.

01:09Maybe they even deserve a bit higher than the position they are in at the moment.

01:13Yeah, it's a big one and this is probably going to sound strange, I knew this already

01:18when we played the second half against them in our home game.

01:21We were 3-0 up at half-time and I was expecting a second half where we could just control

01:27the game, have the ball a bit and maybe score the fourth one, but they just kept on going

01:32at us for 45 minutes and that showed me the character of the team and since then they've

01:38been outstanding.

01:39I want players like Kobe and Garnaccio, the focus is that we have to improve our academy

01:44and you have to bring more, because that is something that all the clubs in England

01:52have to take advantage of, the players that came from the academy.

01:57To play, to fill the shirt and also to sell.

02:00So our focus is to bring more.

02:03The rest, I just want to prepare with both of them the next game.

02:07I think Leicester have improved recently and I think they look as if they're playing better,

02:13so I hope that we can get another good result, it would be really important, but I'm not

02:20going to load up the pressure on our players at the moment, I'm going to try and keep them

02:23as calm as I can and hope that the crowd get right behind them and support them and give

02:28us everything we need.

02:30They are very aggressive, I watched the four or five games with Graham in charge, you can

02:35see that they try to be very aggressive, even the last game against Aston Villa, so it's

02:40a game that will be a tough game, like always, and in terms of tactical, we have tomorrow,

02:48we have still two days to prepare the game and we're going to see.
