00:00I look forward to every single Premier League game, but maybe even more towards the Man United one,

00:11because I know how special it is and I've experienced it last season, how special of a game it is.

00:16We know that it's probably the game that's been watched the most all over the world, so yeah,

00:22it's special to be part of it, but in the end it's also a game where we have to be at our best,

00:27because United, in my opinion, has had a better start of the season than maybe the league table is showing.

00:35We're proving that we can compete against any opponent. I know that is special for our club,

00:43I know that they are fighting all the time for the titles, the number of titles, I know what it means to the fans,

00:51but again, it's one game that we need to prove again that we are playing better, I think we are playing

00:58better, we need to do better in both boxes, so it's one more game that we need to win.

01:06Make simply better season than last season, and this is my target. I'm never sitting here in the beginning,

01:12these stages of October, November, December, going to win this, I wanted to win that, so honestly,

01:16I don't know, I don't know what's going to happen tomorrow against Everton, so that the truth is

01:21that before international, last international break, we are far away from the top of the league,

01:24and now we are closer, and we want to continue there and arrive in the last stages of the competition,

01:30you know, the competitions being closed. Pep's probably been, well, certainly in the last couple

01:34of decades, or certainly one decade, he's certainly been as good as MD there is in any country.

01:40His teams have been excellent, there have been a blueprint for so many clubs and young coaches

01:46to look to, but it's also good to understand that, you know, he realises at times he has to change

01:52as well, even the best managers need to adapt and look to alter things when they think the best way

01:58to get a result is another direction. Yeah, that's a good example, what we did in Newcastle,

02:04all West Ham as well, that in the last two seasons as well, we lost them against them at home, so

02:09that's an opportunity tomorrow, we know that it's a really tough place to go, a very well

02:15coached team, and we're going to have to be at our best tomorrow. I'm sure our result too will change

02:20that in an even better percentage for us, or was depending on what happens, let's focus on what we

02:28can control. A fantastic run of games ahead of us, starting with Villa on Sunday, the top team,

02:35top manager, Unai, I respect him a lot, I think what he's done in his career is amazing, what he

02:42created at Villa is fantastic in so many areas, I think they did well in Champions League last season

02:51and almost qualified for the Champions League again, which is very impressive and I think they have a

02:57very strong team, so yeah, I'm looking forward to it. I was wrong, unfortunately it needs to be out

03:05probably six more weeks, so yeah, this is the update. And then we have Moi, Enzo, Pedro,

03:15that they didn't take part of the session yesterday and we see if they can train today,

03:22otherwise they're going to be out for tomorrow.

03:27you
