00:00The fixtures have been confirmed for the rest of the season, three games in seven days or four in 11,
00:04whichever way you look at it.
00:05I know you'll say it's something you have to deal with, but what are your feelings on how the fixtures
00:10have been set out?
00:11It's where it is. I prefer even play Champions League semi-final, so it's where it is.
00:16When we win the travel and quadruple, always we had this type of calendar, of course it could be better,
00:20but I never spec'd from long time ago something, so it's where it is, we adapt and go to play
00:27game by game.
00:28You say you don't expect any sort of help, is that what it is?
00:31It's what it is. So the calendar, the broadcasters, the Premier League or whatever who decide, decide that game, we'll
00:36be there.
00:37With 11 players plus people in the bench.
00:40Just as an example, PSG this season requested a postponement for one of their games. That was accepted by Ligue
00:471.
00:47And in Portugal happened in other countries, but here is what it is.
00:51And said the same, it's what it is, you have to adapt. You don't like to go to train in
00:54France or go to train in Portugal.
00:56So I like to be here, and I said many, many times, when I was in Barcelona, and I see
01:04all the managers here complaining about the schedule,
01:07I will not be there in the past. So it's what it is, so I never, never expect differently.
01:14So they decide to play on Tuesdays, Saturdays, Wednesdays, Thursdays, Fridays, we'll play.
