00:0030 p.m. this evening.
00:01We'll start with Shama, please.
00:04Hi, Pep. Welcome back.
00:05Enjoy your break?
00:07Yeah, a lot.
00:08Good.
00:09You see me?
00:11You see it?
00:13Good.
00:13Beers looking as well as this.
00:16Copy-paste to you.
00:19You want your players to get the winning feeling, the young team, you got that during the Caragall
00:25Cup final.
00:26How much confidence will that give them for the rest of the season?
00:30It was like a long time ago already.
00:33Yeah, it's better.
00:35It's nice, you know.
00:38Win another title.
00:39Of course, not the most prestigious ones, but in the fact it's a title, especially the challenge
00:45to playing against.
00:48I don't want to feel wrong, but the team, like the best team in Europe so far.
00:55No doubts about that in Champions League, in the Premier League.
00:57So, and yeah, it was a good test, but it's already, you know, the good teams, like always,
01:02they prove this club.
01:04So when we finish one, we sink in the next one.
01:06And tomorrow we have the chance to reach some incredible milestone to make the eight semifinals
01:11in a row, so it never happened.
01:14So we have been seven in a row, four finals, three semifinals.
01:17The FA Cup, this is a prestigious competition and one of the toughest, you know, from a special
01:23opponent for us, all of us, for the people who's here 10 years.
01:27So Liverpool and, yeah, with our people, hopefully they can come, help us join the title that
01:33we won last week and reach another semifinal.
01:36The sort of general feeling that the FA Cup has lost its prestige here.
01:41Why do you think your team has done so well in the competition in the time you've been here?
01:45No, no, that is a competition when you win in the last, I think, since we won the first
01:54Premier League in eight years, we won six Premier Leagues.
01:57That means we win five Carabao Cups in ten years, eight semifinals, four finals, seven
02:02semifinals, FA Cup, four finals.
02:05That defined that club.
02:06That's the organization, the consistency, the, because in FA Cups, in the Carabao Cups,
02:11always you can have a bad afternoon, you know, not all the time you're playing this competition
02:17in a League One or League Two or always you play in different, you know, sometimes in
02:27the League One games or league against opponents, but also in a Premier League teams and you can
02:34have a bad afternoon and it didn't happen, didn't happen.
02:38Always we were there, we were there, we were there.
02:40And that is what made me proud the most, because you can win one title, you can make
02:45a good season, so many, many, many seasons.
02:48And when you realize, okay, seven semifinals in a row, tomorrow we'll fight for the eight
02:52semifinals in a row, and FA Cup is because it's really, really, really good.
02:57Really, really good.
02:59And it's Liverpool on Saturday.
03:01You've had some intense matches between the two sides.
03:06Is there still that intense rivalry between the clubs?
03:09It is, absolutely.
03:10Or has that been the biggest, biggest one?
03:15I've been.
03:17So it's a team like, you know, make an incredible investment last season to be there for many,
03:22many years.
03:23And it's in Champions League.
03:25It's a top contender, top-class players.
03:27So all of them, so hopefully you'll have to perform in the level that we did it in Arsenal
03:34to reach the next step.
03:37Hi, Pep.
03:38During the international break, Rodri made some comments about Real Madrid.
03:42Does that put his future at this club in any doubt at all?
03:46No, no clue.
03:48No opinion, but no opinion, because I don't know the intentions of, I know the intentions of the
03:52club, I know the intentions I think of him, but I don't know.
03:55And there's also been more speculation about your own future.
03:59I know you've been asked about this many times before, but has your position on it changed at all?
04:04I've spoken many times about that.
04:08Mo Salah said he's leaving Liverpool at the end of the season.
04:12Has it been the most headaches opponent for you?
04:16Yeah.
04:19It's not mine?
04:22Yeah, absolutely.
04:23One of the greatest.
04:25The numbers, the consistency, what a player.
04:30I think he's a incredible human being.
04:33So goals, assists, and absolutely, absolutely legend for, of course, Liverpool's football club,
04:40but for the Premier League, for all he has done.
04:44I think it's a good moment to say goodbye to him in this country tomorrow.
04:49So he deserves the incredible, incredible recognition of what he has given to the world
04:55football, especially in this country.
05:00How worried are you by Phil Foden's situation?
05:03Because he just can't seem to click with England at the moment.
05:07How concerned are you with Phil?
05:09Nothing, zero.
05:11He's 25, 26 years old, six Premier League.
05:14I won a lot of things.
05:15And the contribution that we have done is incredible.
05:21And what happens is normal process in a long, long, long career.
05:24It's a normal situation.
05:27In the moment he will make a click and turn, we'll be back with his.
05:34And April seems to be a pivotal month now with the games coming up.
05:3813 days ago you ran down that touchline at Wembley like you were 16.
05:43You've had the break, you've got the tan.
05:45How important is it that you seem revitalized?
05:48How would you describe your state?
05:51I would love to have next week, in the midweek, to be in the Champions League
05:54and have a busy, busy schedule.
05:56Unfortunately, we are out.
05:58But focusing, yeah, in that game.
06:00And after a long week to prepare next Sunday against Chelsea.
06:03That is the last chances that we have, you know, to be still there.
06:08To have a minimum chance that we have for the Premier League.
06:11And, yeah, focus with that.
06:14So, yeah, of course, always international break,
06:16except the players that go with the national teams.
06:21Like, it still is so difficult for me to understand, you know,
06:29how it's possible when you are nine, eight, nine months, you know,
06:33to play for all the titles every three days, three days, three days.
06:36They bring players to another continent for their friendly games
06:39for the national teams.
06:41Completely different way to qualify for the friendly games in that moment.
06:44The risk for the injuries is massive.
06:46So, it's not really, really, really, really, no sense.
06:51And, of course, for the players to go to the other managers or players
06:55to go to the national teams, it's a break.
06:57Like, it's, of course, necessary to last month and three weeks
07:00that we have ahead of us.
07:02So, you feel mentally sharp and are ready for the business end?
07:05Always.
07:06Not now, always.
07:08Always.
07:17Hi, Pep.
07:17Just going back to Rodri.
07:20Liam Resignia has said today that he's dropped Fernandez,
07:23Enzo Fernandez.
07:24on the subject we're talking about.
07:24Which means we're bad.
07:24happens next to the
