00:00Siege mentality in your make-up, has all of the noise or criticism made you, the players and even the
00:09fans stronger in their unity?
00:13Yeah, but I'm assuming that that criticism is positive and negative.
00:19I'm assuming that when we talk about criticism, it's positive and negative and that's why it makes you better.
00:25When you want to set higher standards and performance levels that can give you the chance to compete for the
00:32two most prestigious competitions probably in Europe,
00:35you have to be prepared for that because you know the challenge and difficulty of it and it does make
00:40you better, that's for certain.
00:42I'm sure the mood around the training ground is bouncing just now after what happened on Tuesday.
00:47Have you had to do anything to refocus any of the players ahead of Sunday or are they in autopilot
00:57and they know what's coming?
00:58We talked immediately after the game and this is great, what a moment.
01:03We earned it, we will have time to prepare and get ready for that final.
01:10But now the focus, the attention, the detail, the energy, everything has to be put into West Ham.
01:17There is nothing else there and we made it very clear.
01:21We will make a difference.
