00:00After any defeat, you want to put it right straight away.

00:07We certainly did that and put ourselves in a great position in the Champions League.

00:11And now it's about Wolves focusing back on the Premier League.

00:15And after what happened and the result that we had against Villa,

00:19obviously it's a massive opportunity for us again to win the game

00:22and put ourselves in a great position.

00:24In any Premier League match and especially against a team

00:27he's obviously fighting against results.

00:30I know the manager really well and how he's going to push

00:33and get the players ready to do that,

00:36so from our side we're going to go full gas from the beginning

00:40because we know what we have to do.

00:42I will have a conversation with Mo this morning

00:45and the outcome of that conversation determines how it will look tomorrow.

00:51It's so obvious that if you see the league,

00:53I think the league has become much more direct,

00:55but then there's the league and then there's Liverpool,

00:57how teams play against us in terms of how direct they play.

01:01That's, I think, a nicer word than a long ball.

01:04That's one thing and I think there have been certain game plans against us

01:10that I've seen more and more and more as well,

01:13which I referred to in the press conference before the Inter game.

01:17Yeah, they are top team, they are really good, the fourth of the league,

01:21difficult to score goals against them,

01:23the second best at the moment considering goals.

01:26But for us we focus on what we can do and we know that if we play our football,

01:32we are constantly, we work hard as a team,

01:34we can beat any team in this league for sure.

01:37I think what we are doing at the moment is good because we play well,

01:43as we say, we find a way to get some results.

01:47And of course I know that the team can get better,

01:49like the managers say all the time.

01:51And we are improving, we are growing and that's the most important really for us at the moment.

01:57It's football, for me it's completely normal.

02:00Again, I understand that most of the time we are always looking for problems

02:07or things that we need to solve.

02:09That's important, yeah, for sure it's important,

02:11but all the games they are important.

02:13I think Bournemouth was important,

02:16the next one we have Cardiff and then Newcastle, they are all important.

02:21So if we are able to beat Everton tomorrow it's much better for us,

02:26otherwise we continue to try and to see how we can do better.

02:31Well I got rolled out of Bournemouth and I got rolled out of Man United a few weeks ago

02:35so we have to accept it, you know, that's right.

02:39Chelsea have been, Chelsea Football Corp have had some brilliant teams over many years

02:44and some great managers and great players,

02:47so it's always been difficult to beat them and no difficult now,

02:51no different now I should say.

02:53Criticised a little bit for the way they were going about their business,

02:55but they brought in some great players.

02:57So, you know, I don't know everything about Chelsea,

03:00but they look as if they're going in the right direction.

03:03It's a top team, top manager, with a special player,

03:07so I think it's, I don't look at, again, I don't look to the results,

03:14I look the way they face every opponent, they press really strong,

03:18they are really direct in the game.

03:20They can play with different options in front and that gave us a lot of options to work,

03:28to prepare the game, so I expect, again, one Premier League game that is really tough.

03:33It's really tough.

03:34It's really tough.

03:35It's really tough.

03:40you know,

03:43you know,

03:47you know,

03:48and really,

03:49that kind of thing,

03:50and I know it,

03:52and I think it's coming for more questions.

03:54And you might not be helmeted by so my son.
