00:03It's always a difficult game for both teams because there's so much quality on both hands.
00:10It doesn't matter that much at the moment, I think how much you lost or how much you won.
00:15It's a game between a lot of very good individual players.
00:19Let's hope we have a very good team performance as well,
00:23because that usually helps individuals in being even better.
00:26The first and main aim is to qualify for Champions League.
00:32I think we've shown this season that we need a good performance to get results.
00:37The performances haven't been good enough.
00:40We're in a really bad run at the moment.
00:43The Leeds performance was a glimmer where we thought we could build on that,
00:46and we weren't able to do that.
00:47I think that there's a lot of foundations for this team to have success.
00:51We're not in the best form at the moment, we're not performing the way we should be,
00:56but I do think there are foundations there for this team to be successful.
00:59Understanding the context of the game for both clubs is huge, obviously.
01:03We know the importance of it, we know what we want and what we have to do to win the
01:09game.
01:09I enjoy preparing a lot the game against West Ham now and understanding what we have to do,
01:15trying to pick the right topic, trying to understand very well our players,
01:21the situation that we want to generate in the game, how the game can pan out,
01:25how can we change it if we need to. So that's what I like.
01:28Incredible season.
01:31Clear what they do and difficult to challenge them, but yeah, same time.
01:38Three games left in Etihad and go for it.
01:43Long time since last game was Arsenal.
01:51I love to play at home, what can I say, so hopefully they can come and put pressure in our
01:57Arsenal,
01:58winning our games only we have to do. All we can do.
02:01In terms of the Champions League, it's a step, it's a really good step.
02:05That's not the end. That's not the end at all.
02:09So we want to keep improving, we want to finish strong, you know,
02:13maybe it has changed slightly, but it doesn't in terms of us preparing for the game
02:18and wanting to do well and whoever plays, play well and try and win the game.
02:22Crystal Palace have done brilliant. To get to a European final is sensational for them.
02:26It really is. It's such a big thing.
02:30You tend to find you have effects after the games.
02:34You've just said that we didn't after a BTA's Ed Altmaier.
02:36So I'm hoping that Crystal Palace have found that they have some effects.
02:40They've got good players, good team, good manager.
02:43And they've found themselves in another final, which is a European finals incredibly special.
02:59So, stay tuned.
03:00Let's go.
03:00That's great.
