00:00Well, we weren't satisfied with the results, obviously, and looking and watching the game back more.
00:06And then with the other results, even more, obviously.
00:08But I think it shows the competitiveness of every match where the league is at the moment,
00:13how difficult and how much we have to value every point and every win
00:17because you really have to earn it in the league.
00:19And now, change the scenario, we are back in the Champions League here again a year later
00:24and ready for tomorrow.
00:27Well, a very similar context to last year.
00:30Obviously, where the two teams are at the moment is a bit different.
00:32A new manager as well that I think has given them some other things in their identity and the way they play.
00:39But obviously, we know a super competitive team, a team that is dominating the league and a really tough game.
00:46I think it goes for all the nines in the league and how difficult it is to play that position nowadays
00:51with the physicality, with the dominance of the centre-backs and the quality of them
00:55and the lack of spaces as well in most of the times during the match for them to exploit.
01:02But that's about consistency, about going again.
01:05We know his work rate.
01:07He's really trying to give his best.
01:09And we need to continue to work.
01:11Yes, for that.
01:12Because every game in the Champions League, when you have the opportunity to achieve something, you have to grab it.
01:18And tomorrow, we're really going to have to earn it against a top, top side.
01:23We know that.
01:23And then we prepare every game, obviously, to win it.
01:27And the urgency is going to be the same tomorrow.
01:30Yeah, yeah, yeah.
01:30Well, we have to adapt to that.
01:32That's the beauty of playing different competitions and being in the latest stages of those in all of them.
01:40And that's what we want.
01:41So, I think that's a blessing.
01:43That's something really, really positive.
01:45And then tomorrow, we have the last one before we play at home again against United.
01:49Depends on the game.
01:51Depends on the type of opponent that we see.
01:53And then performances throughout the game.
01:55We see things that we can do, how we can hurt the opposition more.
01:59And we have the ability to change that.
02:02Well, I'm so glad, you know.
02:04I thank God every single day because I come back in a good way, in a good shape.
02:09It was amazing.
02:10Re-up with everyone at Arsenal.
02:12So, at the moment, like I say, I'm so glad that since I come back, I have had a lot of minutes.
02:20So, I think we are building something good for me, for my knee, for my whole body.
02:26So, yeah, I'm in a good way to help the team.
02:31So, that's it.
02:34Well, what I do think is we are getting closer, like you say.
02:40Unfortunately, the last three seasons since I'm here at Arsenal, we finished in second.
02:49But, yeah, we are in a good way, we're in a good shape, you know.
02:53So, we are happy that we are in the position that we are winning games, you know.
03:04Unfortunately, obviously, last two we didn't win, but still, it's a Premier League, it's tough, you know.
03:10So, I think to play in this competition is hard.
03:17So, yeah, we are in a good way.
03:19We have an amazing squad, you know.
03:21Every single player can help the team, no matter who starts or who is on the bench, can make an impact and change the game.
03:31So, yeah, I do believe that we can win, not just like one tournament or other.
03:39We just need to focus on games, game by game, and then try to win the games, that's it.
03:46Well, Vic is an amazing guy, you know.
03:48Unfortunately, when he came, when he sighed, I wasn't there because I was injured and I was doing my rehab in Brazil with my family.
04:00I had a newborn there and stuff, but I wasn't there.
04:05But since I come back, you know, we have a good relationship.
04:11We talk about football, obviously.
04:13We are in the same, we have the same age.
04:16And then, but obviously, I have played here in Premier League more than him, longer than him.
04:24And then, yeah, sometimes I give some opinion, you know, and sometimes he gives also about goals, about stuff.
04:33He knows, you know, he's a top striker, you know, he scored a lot of goals in his previous club.
04:40And then, obviously, I'm sure that he's going to find a way to do the same for us because this is good for us.
04:46You know, me, him, Kai, whoever, the wingers, everyone wants to score goals.
04:52You know, we have to take the responsibility.
04:56Obviously, we all to score goals.
04:58And then, obviously, we can share and then we can win games by scoring.
05:05Well, I think my first target is to be healthy.
05:10You know, this is my fourth season at Arsenal.
05:14And, unfortunately, I played maybe one and a half, two.
05:18And then the rest with injuries.
05:20That happens, never happened with me before, but happens here.
05:25I don't know why.
05:26And then I don't ask myself anymore.
05:29So, I just, you know, try to be fit.
05:32And then, yeah, my first target is to be healthy from now till the end of the season.
05:39And then, obviously, like I said before, my wishes is to stay at Arsenal, you know.
05:46And then I have a contract as well, you know.
05:49So, obviously, if you ask me, like you did already, I want to extend my contract.
05:55I want to stay.
05:56I want to win trophies with Arsenal because I come here with a purpose.
06:00And then that's it.
06:01But, obviously, the reality is different.
06:04You know, sometimes it's go out of the way.
06:08But, like I say, my focus now is to stay healthy and then win trophies with Arsenal.
06:15And just on the contract, you obviously said you're keen to stay.
06:19Has there been any discussions yet about the next deal?
06:23No.
06:23OK.
06:24OK.
06:24OK.
06:26OK.
