00:00When you reflected on the past couple of seasons and why you narrowly fell short,

00:07do you look at games like City and Liverpool away as games

00:12where now the next step is to go and win there?

00:16Yeah, I look at every moment, every round that we lost points.

00:20Last year, if you ask me, we lost a lot of points at home,

00:24and especially a lot of draws, and that we should have converted them into wins

00:29and that was a big gap.

00:31I had a record in the last two or three years, especially against the big teams.

00:35We were very consistent, for sure.

00:37You want to go out there and win, and that's the way we have prepared the game,

00:40and we'll try to do it on Sunday.

00:42And looking back, it was quite a few years ago now,

00:45but obviously when you put the speakers at the side of the training pitch,

00:48do you look forward now in the sense that your team is ready for these big occasions?

00:53Do you want to burn about?

00:55Do you feel that probably represents the evolution of your side?

00:59Are you stronger now?

01:01Yes, I do feel that we are stronger.

01:03We are more mature.

01:04We went through together a lot of experiences,

01:07and that's the preparation that you need.

01:09That's why I'm convinced that we can go to Anfield and get the result that we want.

01:13Just on Bakayo and Martin, maybe Martin is a doubt at this stage,

01:19but does that make your team unpredictable in the sense that usually we can probably pick on paper

01:26what your side might look like?

01:28You've got so many options, so can that work in your favour?

01:31I think it can, for sure.

01:33And the more they have to adapt and find solutions and prepare things,

01:38the easier they're going to be with us.

01:40That's, I think, a very positive thing.

01:42Hi.

01:44Obviously, you won't tell us you could have a brand new Grand Prix

01:51who have never played altogether in your current and bad weight.

01:55Is that too big a risk to take in going to Grand Prix

01:59to have three players who maybe aren't on the same territory yet in the United States?

02:03I don't know.

02:04I mean, we lost.

02:05We haven't got Gabriel Jesus.

02:06We don't have Kai Havertz.

02:07We don't have Bukay Osaka.

02:09That's our reality.

02:10And Leandro Trossard, probably.

02:12So, it's a reality what we have.

02:14And we're going to have to find something,

02:16and probably something that we haven't done before.

02:18And it can work really, really well as well.

02:21Do you think you'd be able to trust them,

02:22even though they've tried to get for a few times to go to Anfield?

02:26Yes, I do fully trust them, yeah.

02:28Yeah.

02:29And I'm sure you would have watched Monday night's game.

02:31The aggression, the physicality that Newcastle showed.

02:34The Liverpool also showed that they can also fight back.

02:37Does that talk to how you approach it, how you go about it?

02:40Can you go there and be aggressive, pressing on that?

02:43But that's the Premier League, I think.

02:44When you look at a lot of the games that have already been played

02:46in the last two games and last season,

02:48how the game evolved in that sense is more and more happening like this.

02:52And the moment the context changes a little bit,

02:54whether it's the result or certain aspects within the tactics there,

03:00as the game is becoming.

03:02And we need to be happy and confident to navigate

03:04through those kind of situations.

03:06OK.

03:07OK.

03:09You said, you said we had an issue as well.

03:13Yeah.

03:14Thanks.

03:15Thanks.

03:16Good luck.

03:17Thanks.

03:18Thanks for coming.

03:19Thanks for coming.

03:20Good luck.

03:21Yeah.

03:22We have to get drinks from everybody now.
