00:02Jeremy said recently that he'd like to be considered one of the best wingers in the world.
00:05He wants to be in that conversation, but he knows he has to score more goals.
00:08Do you think that that is his...?
00:10That is what I'm talking about with your colleagues.
00:12It depends on how your mentality says,
00:14I want to become one of the best wingers in the world.
00:17Otherwise, you're in comfort zone and you say, no, it's fine, it's fine.
00:21Always I've been, Jeremy, you know, dribbles and work and whatever.
00:27I always try, but say, no, I want to become one of the best of the best.
00:31That is when you reach the level.
00:34You see the attributes for him to be at that very, very top level with Vinicius and Lim in your
00:39map.
00:40Yeah, for sure.
00:41And always accept being pushed, you know, always accept that.
00:45And that is so nice, you know.
00:47Yeah, we are really pleased.
00:49But not now since arrived, right?
00:51Now he's winning games, goals, obviously, but always have been really, really good.
00:58Hi Pep.
00:59Kovacic came off the bench at Everton in the week and made an important pass for Erling
01:03and then Phil and Omar today.
01:04How important are these players off the bench going to be for these finals?
01:08Top.
01:09We talk many times.
01:10I know it's not easy for them, but I'm pretty sure the next games we're going to play
01:15and want to rotate the team because otherwise we cannot arrive in the finals or Bournemouth a little bit, you
01:24know.
01:24We'll see the result tomorrow and after we take a decision.
01:28Have you failed Omar?
01:29Some of those players giving you something else to think about when you're picking your 11th?
01:34Yeah, especially Omar.
01:36So, it's not easy because normally you just want a striker.
01:40He's a proper striker and Erling is there.
01:41Erling is so important for us, but the contribution of Omar, always he played,
01:45the amount of goals and the rate for the minutes play is so high.
01:49So, it's really good.
01:51Yeah, Pep, just on Erling there, that's 50 goals now for City of Norway this season.
01:56Do we almost sort of take those numbers for granted?
01:58The incredible numbers?
01:59Yeah, I think we have.
02:01And there was a period that I was so tired after November when I came from Norway,
02:05the qualification was a Monday struggle.
02:07But it's for the amount of minutes, you know.
02:10The difference, for example, I saw the minutes of Dembele and Persigier are played
02:13and Erling are played, it's 2,000 more.
02:17So, it was a lot of minutes.
02:18So, a lot of…
02:19And he carried on in the moment with Condrey.
02:21Omar was in the half-con and he could not…
02:24And Erling always is Erling, you know.
02:26A threat for the opponent, set pieces and sense of goal, you know.
02:30And Erling just has to bring more players close to him when they arrive from the side.
02:35So, he has to bring more players there.
02:37Because after that, he will score more than a goal.
02:39When he's alone in the box, it's so difficult for him to score because they're there.
02:47You mentioned the FA Cup there and you also mentioned the Cowboy Cup in passing.
02:51Why do you love those?
02:52Why do they mean so much to those competitions?
02:54Because they don't do every manager these days and you've won both of them plenty times.
03:00Why do they mean so much?
03:01Well, the competition, no color stage.
03:04It's like, you know, alive or dead.
03:06It's nice.
03:07It's like now at the end of the season, you know.
03:09You know what happened.
03:13And I think I tried with my staff in Zaira 10 years ago.
03:18Make this club when you play the first game in the preseason, whatever, in Asia, in America, whatever.
03:23We have to win.
03:24We have to try to win.
03:26It's not choose competitions.
03:28We choose games.
03:30We have nothing.
03:31The work ethic and everything.
03:32And I think all of us, the chairmen and the CEOs, sports directors, myself, the players inoculating our bodies, we
03:40have to do our best every game.
03:43For respect for the people, for respect for the job.
03:46For all of us, incredible, well paid.
03:48We have to do it.
03:49You like that job?
03:50You know, because we are here.
03:51And that's why.
03:52So you are out, you are out.
03:54I'm the person who accept more when it's fair, the defeats, because it's part of the job.
03:58But we have to do our job.
04:00And that's why.
04:01And also, as a manager, when you arrive in, say, a cup, for example, a Carabao Cup against League One
04:06team or League One, we're harder than.
04:08The players know who I am.
04:09Be careful, guys.
04:11If you are not who you are, we will be in trouble.
04:13And that is, you know, the players feel and the club feel that it doesn't matter what happens.
04:18And it's easy, you know.
04:19And it's Madrid in Champions League or Arsenal here at home, you know, playing for the title.
04:24You know the team will be there.
04:25The fans will be there.
04:26But that is a moment that defined the club, as I said many times.
04:29The consistency during ten years in no competition has been really, truly extraordinary.
04:37Extraordinary.
04:37And how do you keep the players switched on?
04:39Because obviously the cup final comes in the middle of a title race.
04:42It doesn't come at the end, it comes in the middle.
04:44How do you keep them switched on to the FA Cup?
04:47No, we don't think about the generosity for the Premier League as always.
04:53So it has been really nice for this schedule.
04:55But it's what it is.
04:57It's what it is.
04:58We accept.
04:59I always have said, don't play the final FA Cup, you don't have this schedule.
05:03Yeah?
05:04So we are in the final, you have this schedule.
05:06And I would love to have this schedule in the semi-final Champions League in the middle
05:09of the title race.
05:10But we were there.
05:11We were there.
05:13We were there in that dynamic.
05:15So it's really nice.
05:16As much as you are fit, now we are.
05:18So look with energy, it's easy to say.
05:22OK, make the substitution, one minute, Jeremy put the ball in the net.
05:25But we want energy and Omar gave us the energy and Phil gave us that.
05:32You know that?
05:32And you need everyone.
05:33So as much as you are fit, you can do it because we did it.
05:36And like we did it, we can do it.
05:38Thank you, everyone.
05:39Have a good day.
05:39Coming you hired.
