00:0010 30 p.m this evening so we'll start in hello pat can I check first of all you had quite a few

00:06players who missed the first game of the season do you expect to have anyone back available for

00:10the Spurs game uh yeah Rodri and Phil last game they were out but uh for just the reason why

00:19uh lack of training and rhythm they were not traveling to Palermo and

00:24and yeah the guys was all precision doing that but uh they were not the 90 minutes

00:31against Wolves but they were ready and of course they are ready for uh tomorrow and all the other

00:36players um none of them will be available Josco and Savio the only ones in bed the only ones they are

00:44out okay um looking at Tottenham Tottenham Hotspur what they've managed to do in a short space of

00:50time with Thomas Frank what have you been able to see in the change in them from last season to this

00:57that's too early to know but I don't have any doubt that Thomas will do an incredible job in a big big

01:03club like I have done in Brentford no doubts stop class manager in in different scenarios and

01:10different alternative how they can play and and I saw it we saw for it when he was in Brentford

01:18you've obviously done it where you've gone with a distinct style of play and and implemented that

01:25at new places how much of a challenge is it to try and get the team up to speed straight away when

01:31you've not had that much time to be able to give your ideas and it's new players that you're working

01:35with no first it's funny so when you have done many many times in many years in one time go another

01:41time you know for new as you say new scenario new players new atmospheres new expectations

01:48so it's always funny it's a challenge for yourself for the team but I have the feeling that you have

01:55to wait so I remember my first season the first thing official games we won all 10 and after we

02:02didn't win for a reason but the season was good but we didn't win so it's question of I know today

02:10is everything judged in one game in a rise and in one game the season will be in that way

02:16looks like we don't learn what happened in the past you know to make that analysis of course you

02:22have to open open you have to full radius newspapers and TVs you have to you know a lot of time to talk

02:33to talk it normally happen but it's just the beginning just one game and so many things many many

02:40things going to happen in good way and bad way hi pep uh since january city have collected the most

02:47points in the league who your side have collected the most points in the league do you think you're

02:52starting to get that fear factor back on a position in our team yeah back to back back what happened the

03:00season yeah i don't know there's one game so i like a lot of things i'm seeing in daily basis i would

03:09say in the trainings and be and behaviors i like it but i would like to be a magician to know what's

03:17going to happen and i don't know lost four nil against spurs at home last season how much was a

03:24how much of a shock was that to you at the time and are you sort of looking for revenge at this time

03:30no it's just another opportunity of revenge is no sense so always the spurs have been a tough tough

03:38opponent for us but this is a completely new season and and so start so what happened in the past in good

03:48a lot of things is past this is what what we can do i know we we in that moment i remember was a

03:56at international break and was already we came from two or three bad results and now the dynamic

04:02started to be but no good last season but the new season new vibes and the game will be

04:08will be hopefully like last season the first 50-20 minutes that we create a lot to to go

04:14yeah comfortable winning and after because those spurs always have been a really really good team

04:20with a good place yeah and just on a general note uh premier league clubs have spent the most money in

04:26this transfer window than ever before just what are your thoughts on that can it go on um do you think

04:33they'll continue to spend in the future as well so i don't know i think it's a club spence because

04:38with the strict financial play rules so with the spanish because they can do it

04:43and uh yeah apparently it's not just man city right

04:47you mentioned rodri's back available how big a boost is that how i just want consistent that's all

05:00i don't have any doubts about his potential quality still so far still is the best player in the world

05:08in a few months we elected anyone but still it is i don't have any doubts it's just the consistent

05:14the consistent is at trainings weeks trainings weeks games minutes and after everything will be fine

05:21um another player who made the first start for city james trafford

05:25um really impressive there how pleased have you been with his performances is he still your number one

05:31for this weekend oh we decide tomorrow or tonight after dinner and uh yeah happy so you know the

05:40the new players always bring is like me when i arrived in the first year i was bringing new energy

05:45new everything stuff and everything and and i changed i don't know four or five six times the stuff

05:50close the staff and always bring energy and ideas players are the same so and james ring

05:57his youth and uh desire to play in the club was born was you know grown and and yeah happy for the

06:06performance but i said many times it's just the first game so it just be consistent in the way we

06:13play it and improve like we have done we have to do better against against uh you know against

06:18um i guess spurs are doing balls and yeah and just on players potentially leaving there's lots of

06:25conversation we've heard around mamula kanji savini as well can you give us an update there our players

06:30and we'll see what happens we'll see what happens uh i think a few things going to happen and we'll see

06:37hi pep um ruben diaz has signed a new contract uh with the club um he missed a lot of football last

06:47season as did john stones how important is it to have them both fit um and and how important is

06:52that partnership to the success your team can have this season yeah and josco and manu and nathan and

06:59and kusa uh everyone it is that of course only i want all i ask in the beginning the season so many

07:06times to the guys inside and now here it's always how when the team fit inches will be inches but not

07:13as much will happen last season so just players to play and compete that's only only i want

07:20how much impact is pep linders having on on you and the team i know it's quite early still um but

07:27what's it what's it been like to work with him so far a lot we are really pleased i'm really pleased

07:32working i was with hammer in the past when i was in rodo with enzo mareska with michael with uh

07:38with dome i've been so lucky to have an incredible people around me that teach me a lot inspire me

07:46with his advices his knowledge his uh you know his vision what happened during the day and pep is no

07:52difference bring us incredible energy knowledge is a incredible work ethic and yeah him called

07:58call today and james the three guys came this season we are not me we are really really pleased

08:04and say thank you to to join us of course that just to double check so ederson is fit yeah he's

08:11back to to normal and on the the transfer window and the amount of money that clubs are spending as

08:18well as city do you feel almost kind of vindicated to see that people that said it's only city it's not

08:25only city you see liverpool you'll see us now you see united this is almost a relief to see the

08:30criticism absolutely not so but i know they do it to us but i will not be in that game so

08:37everyone do what they believe is the best for the team and i know our spend net in 10 11 years is

08:46amazing just take a look i know it just was spend spend no question if you spend it because you sell

08:51otherwise you know the spend so i've been really good in that team just take a look

08:55you are interesting so i've been really good that's why we are sustainable and of course the

09:00other rules like we have to to define and protect and if this season because this season we spend

09:06more for the reason the engine didn't transfer window before the world cup but in the previous

09:10season we didn't spend almost few few few because we have a team that were a champion and stable and

09:16the reason why it happened is because we had a lot of inches but every club does what they want

09:20so yeah so because we spend a lot right and spend net is fantastic and we will so the business is

09:30the fact that if you win right and the people spend to win in the level that you can but in this

09:36this league for many reasons they have more resources to other leagues to do it and if they do

09:41it is because they want to try it we'll see on the pitch what happen
