00:00Absolutely, Pep. You know I love this. It's the highlight of my week, as you know.

00:04You are the longest-serving manager in the Premier League now.

00:08It's funny that actually Mikel's second obviously used to be under you here.

00:12In terms of your time here, being the longest-serving manager, what do you put it down to?

00:18Is it simply a matter of winning trophies? Is there something else?

00:21What is the reason why you're able to be the longest-serving manager?

00:25Well, it's the third question. You go in that direction. I have the feeling that you want to sack me.

00:30So, you don't want to see me here.

00:33So, the reason why I'm fine.

00:35Still, of course, we changed a lot in the last years before, but especially last time.

00:40And still, you know, with the energy that brings me my staff and the new players to try to, you know, to...

00:52I had the feeling in Barcelona, I had the feeling in Munich and now here.

00:56I never would be at the feeling when I had the feeling I'm the problem, I wouldn't make a step aside.

01:00So, I wouldn't be a problem.

01:02But still, I had the feeling that I want the energy to fill the team with the players to, you know, make simply better season than last season.

01:10And this is my target.

01:12As I never am sitting here in the beginning, these stages of October, November, December, going to win this, I wanted to win that.

01:18So, honestly, I don't know. I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow against Everton.

01:22So, but the truth is that before international, last international break, we are far away from the top of the league.

01:27And now we are closer and we want to continue there, arrive in the last stages of the competition.

01:32You know, the competition is being close.

01:34This is, I would say, the target I have.

01:37And what I said, I see things that we are doing much, much, much better than happened, especially last season.

01:45And in every game, we are a little bit better and better.

01:48And this is, I have the margin that we can do better in many, many aspects.

01:54And that may give me the energy that is not the job done.

02:00It's completely unfinished business and that's why I'm here.
