00:00I think it's a little bit more special for me because I faced Brentford where I've been for nine years.

00:19That's almost a quarter of my life.

00:24I had a fantastic time there and enjoyed every second of it.

00:29There's a lot of people I see on Saturday I haven't seen for a long time.

00:33I used to see them every day more or less.

00:36So that would be special.

00:38Of course as well it would be not true not to say that.

00:41And it is very true.

00:44But it's today been a preparation against the team.

00:50Players know very well of course.

00:53There's small tweaks to what you could say I used to do.

00:58But a lot of the identity is the same in many ways which make it difficult in many ways.

01:07But when the whistle goes it's all about getting three points and win.

01:12We always ask players don't we whether they'll celebrate if they score against their old team.

01:16Would you celebrate if you score against your old team?

01:19Yeah, I will.

01:21Because I think everyone respects the respect I got for Brentford, the fans, everyone before kick-off, after kick-off or after the final whistle.

01:33In the 90 minutes plus it's all about one thing.

01:38Do what we can to win the game.

01:40Hear that out?

01:41Hear that out.

01:42Sure.

01:43You are.

01:44Blessed not be.

01:45Look.

01:46Yes, they are correct.

01:47He will use the same background as a defense team.

01:48They are not gonna win the game.

01:49Are they being used?

01:50They are.

01:51Even if that's the same.

01:52Any home is going to win.

01:53You could win.

01:54All right.

01:55We Are you.

01:56What are you doing?

01:57It's the same.

01:58That's what?

01:59I'm going to run the game.

02:00You're done.
