00:00Nice, good moments, bad moments.
00:03The FA Cup against United as well,
00:05to give it a chance to win the travel before the final.
00:09And Istanbul always was good.
00:12Hi Pep, can I check on Rodri please? How is he?
00:15He's better.
00:16Is he likely to play tomorrow?
00:18No, we don't want to take risk.
00:21Is he likely to be back before the Everton game?
00:24I don't know yet, hopefully, but we don't want to take risk
00:28because if he's injured, we'll lose in the next five games.
00:31And Rodri is so important.
00:33And there have been more reports since we've got John Stones and his future.
00:36Is this an opportunity for him to play tomorrow?
00:39Perhaps he's coming to the end of his time.
00:40Depends on the manager.
00:42That's for sure.
00:43Can the manager give us a clue?
00:46Yeah, definitely.
00:47I'll call you later.
00:52Pep, you've spoken a lot, obviously,
00:54about understandably taking each game as it comes,
00:57despite the bigger picture.
00:59Is it almost easier to give that message to the group now
01:02because every game is so important
01:04than perhaps it has been at previous times in the season
01:06when the bigger picture felt like there was a lot more going on.
01:09Now it's just very focused.
01:11The next game is the most important.
01:13It was the first time we leave that.
01:15Of course, you have that game tomorrow.
01:16You have to have eight days until next Monday.
01:19So you have time to lay off, recover,
01:21and make the last rush, the last run,
01:23the last sprint in five games, potential six.
01:27It's depending tomorrow.
01:29And, yeah, I'm pretty sure everybody will be involved.
01:32Yeah, otherwise, they will not be clear.
01:38Yeah, how are you approaching the game tomorrow?
01:40Because, obviously, you're playing against the team
01:42from the division below,
01:44but it's an FA Cup semi-final competition
01:46you've taken very seriously.
01:47You've had quite a settled team selection in recent weeks,
01:50but, obviously, you've only played a few days ago.
01:52I mean, how are you balancing the minutes in the legs
01:55that are already there
01:56versus the importance of this occasion?
01:58Yeah, of course, it's the opening part of the question mark,
02:01the way you had to play.
02:03But, of course, it was so demanding,
02:06the game against Arsenal.
02:07Emotionally, it's normal.
02:09The games, and after three days later,
02:11three days later, it's now.
02:12You know, today, second day,
02:14the people were so, so tired,
02:15and now take a train for hours,
02:18you know, from here to the hotel,
02:21and always is Wembley.
02:24Tomorrow will be a fantastic day.
02:26Always a great stick.
02:30So, many, many thoughts still I am in my mind,
02:35and we'll see tomorrow.
