00:00Ange is returning to the Emirates, four times he's tried to beat in the Galar Teta team

00:06and failed every time. What's the last three?

00:08Do you expect any different running this time with this new Forest?

00:12Well, I think with Ange, you know, his biggest strength, in my opinion,

00:15is the way he's been. He has put his fingerprints in that team

00:19and he has a very clear way of playing, very clear DNA.

00:23Extremely good to watch, learn a lot from him and it will be a very difficult game.

00:29He seems to say it's who we are, mate, but clearly he was adapting that Tottenham side

00:35towards the end of the season, playing different kind of football to go on and eventually win that trophy.

00:41Do you expect he will adapt now with this new set of players, compared to the style we expect from him?

00:47I don't know and I cannot control that, so obviously he's made a decision to go to Forest now

00:52because for sure he believes that with the players that he has, he can do what he wants to do

00:57and be successful again, but obviously we had very different expectations if he would have been the manager

01:03because he was already for a long time and very clear what he wants to do with Ange there

01:07and the time that he had, there will be things that were different for sure.

01:11What problems does it give you as a head coach, the fact that he may be preparing for a different manager

01:18and then that change comes?

01:20Well, you have to focus much more on yourself and improving and taking the game where you want to

01:25because at the end now, even if you know the manager, the scenario can change after five minutes,

01:3020 minutes, 60 minutes. I mean, the flexibility, understanding and preparation that goes through now

01:35in the Premier League, so what you expect for five minutes is not going to be the same picture for 95 minutes.

01:41So that's what we prepare for every single day.
