00:00Is it a little harder in terms of motivating the players at this time

00:05because the main job has already been completed?

00:08I think the honest answer is yes.

00:11Although I cannot look in all of their ads,

00:14but I think it's clear to everyone if we would still compete for the Premier League,

00:20then they would have been a few days off as well,

00:23but probably we wouldn't have gone somewhere else.

00:26I don't think we're the only team if you play on Sunday and next week is Monday,

00:30that you give them a few days extra.

00:32I think the honest answer is that there is a difference,

00:36but if I look at the way we played the Arsenal game,

00:39I saw a team that wanted to compete against Arsenal from the first, second to the last.

00:45Even when we were having some problems in the second half,

00:49they were able to come back into the game,

00:51so that tells you the mentality is still very good.

00:53But it was a home game.

00:55And what is the main thing for us is,

00:57it doesn't matter if we want to league yes or no,

00:59if you play Chelsea away, Arsenal at home and Brighton away,

01:01these are difficult games to play.

01:04That's why I was also so happy that we were already clear enough points

01:09to clinch the title against Tottenham.

01:13and that's the two of us is there,

01:15and that's not really the end of the day in the day.

01:17You know, we have winners,

01:18have winners,

01:19has winners and winners.

01:20We will be playing the two?

01:21And I'm down to the third of us,

01:22will be looking for them.

01:23That is the main thing for us.

01:25Also, the third of us is the main thing to play,

01:27to be on our team.
