00:00Yeah, look, I think even if we'd have gone into that game different, only in draw, you know, for us, we always want to win the derby, so we have opportunity to win the derby, and we're ready and we're looking forward to the derby, we want to obviously win, like we always want to win derby, so, yeah, regardless of the situation in the group, we know we have to focus on winning, and that's what we always do when we're in focus on the derby match.
00:23Tom, the fact that you are in a must-win situation, will that bring out the best in all the players, because they have nothing to lose, all they need to do is to go out for a win in order to ensure that you are in the semi-finals?
00:35Yeah, I think so, yeah, I think, obviously, but like I say, we always need to win the derby, and in the last game we were not going to win, we know that we need to win in 90 minutes, so, we're ready, we're prepared, and yeah, we know what we need to do.
00:52Mohan Bagan is heading into the match with a draw, but what would be the strong point, according to you, what is a trait for East Bengal team when you are pitted against them?
01:04Yeah, I think, obviously, this season they have made signings, and strength in comparison to last year, I think we can all agree they have improved, so, yeah, look, they have threats, but we want to concern ourselves with ourselves, you know, I think it's important to know how we can affect them,
01:22and focus solely on what we can do, and as you mentioned, we are the champions of India, and we know what we can do, so it's important we concern ourselves with what we can do, rather than what they are, but we know, obviously, they have improved, like I said.
01:38Will you be missing, yeah, look, one step at a time, obviously, we know there is a trophy at the end of this, but for now, we know we need to win this game, the next game, to get into the next stage, so, this is the next step, we take the next step, and we know what is next, along the journey, we've taken the next step, and it's allowed us to win three trophies in the past, however, three, six months, so, yes, there is a trophy, but for now, the next step is East Bengal, so we fully focus on this.
02:06And this kind of weather can affect the Derby's performance, right?
02:10This is beautiful weather, English weather, you say this, I don't know what to say on this, obviously, we tried to win this game, we didn't get that goal, and, yeah, look, on another night, maybe we do, look, we didn't win this game, but we now know, that has gone now, that is the past, we know what we need to do now, moving forward.
