00:00As someone who's been involved all your career basically as a coach in the back end of the
00:05Champions League, what has it been like this week, previous weeks, when the Champions League
00:11matches are happening and they're getting to the really important stage and you're not involved?
00:16Do you just, do you watch them and watch them as a, I don't know, as an observer, as a manager,
00:22or do you just think it doesn't involve me so I'm not paying any attention?
00:26No, enjoy the games, have been really, really nice games, so choosing Villa Park was a fantastic
00:34game, I think in Dortmund as well against Barcelona, I've been in good games, enjoy it, miss it
00:41of course, but accept, so I'm a person like, I don't complain much what the life gives it
00:48to me in good moments, especially not in bad moments because it's a sport, sometimes you
00:53don't perform well, you don't deserve to be, it's just, okay, hopefully next season we
00:59can be there and, you know, deal with the big, big clubs in Europe, I can challenge them
01:04better than we have done this season, challenge them what we have done in the last seven years,
01:09like every season we were there, even when we were out always we competed really well,
01:14so yeah, I take it in that way.
01:16Does it make you, I mean, this is a big week for City, Everton away, it's a tough game,
01:22Villa, it's a tough game and then the semi-final, does it give you any extra motivation or do
01:27you not need any more motivation to get back into that competition and win something?
01:33Of course it is, of course it is motivation, yeah, you're right, of course it is, so I think
01:39that it's not a bad thing to fight for to qualify for the Champions League, could be in a very,
01:50very lower position in the Premier League if you have done a few good things that you have done in
01:56this four or five months, people say now we are four now, it could be 11 or 12 or 13 or 14,
02:04I don't have any doubts of that, so I take it like, okay, I have not been good, but it's in our hands
02:11and of course Woodison Park and Villa, it's massively important because it's just six games,
02:16you don't have much time, I know that our qualification pass already had, you know,
02:22we know the games we have here and take one or two games away and we have a first opportunity tomorrow in Liverpool.
