00:00Every game brings different challenges. Sometimes we have to be very patient.

00:07Some of the times we have to have a different approach.

00:11And the game against Burnley is going to be really tough.

00:15They are extremely well coached. I know it's really well done with the club and with this team.

00:20It's formidable. And when you look at all the games that I see,

00:24five of those, the last games that they played, very, very tough team to beat.

00:28When I look against big teams and the way they behave and how they earn points or lose points,

00:34it's for very small margins and that's the reality in this league.

00:38I would say it's just nine games, but it's not just games.

00:41It's games plus previous season and previous season.

00:44So it's a consistent team and fantastic team, manager, players.

00:51It's a tough opponent, but we know we are top.

00:55That means how coordinated the hierarchy is, the sport directors with the manager,

01:00with the players, a clear philosophy.

01:02Of course, the players change a lot of things, but it's impressive.

01:11My focus is now not so much on trying to look back on what has happened,

01:15but more on how we can get a very good performance on Saturday.

01:20So, yeah, maybe the learning part is going to come a little bit later,

01:26but for now the focus is on the future and is on how can we get a good result

01:33or at least a good performance against Villa,

01:37because normally a good performance from this quality players leads to a good result.

01:42with the talent that they have, especially with Gibbs White, Anderson, Odoi, very good players.

01:49So we need to be prepared for a different game against Brighton.

01:53We had space to play. We are not going to have that space.

01:56You need to understand that we are not being the same team away and at home.

02:01So we need to improve the way we control the environment.

02:05Every tackle is a big moment for the opponent fans.

02:11So we need to play better away. We are prepared for a very tough match.

02:17Tottenham, I think they are doing very good.

02:20They finished last season winning the Europa League.

02:23They started very good this season and also because it's a derby,

02:28for sure will be a difficult game.

02:31The problem is that when I say that there is no concern about red card,

02:36no concern. If I say that we need to avoid red card,

02:40we need to avoid red card. I say what I think is correct to say.

02:46Sometimes we had red card that was difficult to avoid

02:51and sometimes we had some red card that we could avoid.

02:54I think their performance all season has been really, really good.

02:58I think a lot of people have been surprised by it.

03:00But they have got a great crowd behind them.

03:03They have been really strong at home as well.

03:05But obviously winning at Chelsea for Emdi is a big result.

03:08A lot of media talk about how the promoted sides tend to go down.

03:14I think it sounds as if a lot of them have been listening to that

03:17and spent a lot of money,

03:19trying to make sure that they give themselves every opportunity to stay up.
