00:20I knew it was going to be tough, I think in the first half we played some of the best
00:25four that we played this season. We were very unfortunate not to score two or three goals
00:31and yet there was a story of the season as well, we cannot do that, make sure that we are
00:39extremely efficient
00:41defending certain moments, not giving anything away to the opponent and winning the three points.
00:48You said the story of the season, you haven't conceded an open play since the Man City game.
00:52Has something happened or how do you explain that?
00:57Well, I think the desire that every single player shows in their defensive duties, their behaviours,
01:05the way they work for each other is phenomenal, it's a lot of work put it by all the coaches
01:10as well
01:10and we all know the importance of that and how many results and wins we have because of that.
01:16Nick Hayes?
01:17It was a great team performance, a collective effort but obviously Kai haven't settled the deal
01:22in the first half of the season, it was such a difficult season.
01:28Yeah, I think we forget the amount of players that we have missed for a long, long period this season,
01:33that they are exceptional but that's the merit I think of this team, that regardless of that,
01:40look where we are, we are one game away from winning the Premier League with everything that we've been through
01:45and that shows how strong the mindset and the team is.
01:49Was that one of the reasons you started him tonight?
01:53I had a feeling that he had to start and in the way that they set up,
01:57I think he could be really difficult to handle and he's shown that.
02:01Michael?
02:03It was another night where I felt like people have to suffer through the win,
02:08are you primed for a similar on Sunday or can you think like that?
02:12I don't know, I thought that the amount of health that I have is never going to go away
02:17but I think this job is going to test it to the limit.
02:22Ed?
02:23Yeah, just with so close now, how do you keep everybody calm and focused with such a big prize in
02:29your life?
02:30We've done what is in our hands and since the Man City game away we said it is five games
02:36and it was a hand, we've done four and there is one to go
02:39and something beautiful happens tonight, tomorrow night.
02:43Tom?
02:46Congratulations, obviously you were asked a lot last week about whether you would watch the game
02:50and you said we've got to focus on Burnley, Burnley's done,
02:53so are you going to watch the game tomorrow and how are you going to see that experience?
02:57I don't know how long I'm going to watch it, I will be there in front of the TV
03:00but I don't know how much I'm going to be able to watch it, I think.
03:04That's the reality.
03:05James, did you?
03:06And first on Kai, would you concede he was maybe lucky to still be on the pitch after that foul?
03:13Well, I certainly got worried when they were checking it.
03:15When I looked at the bench they said that it wasn't but I haven't had a look at the action.
03:20Still here?
03:21I have a swallow from that question about the games, were you watching it with the players as well?
03:27No, I haven't planned to do that, I'm planning to watch it with my family and again I don't know
03:33for how long.
03:47It's incredible to witness what we have created in this stadium and obviously I have memories from the past
03:55and the comparison, it's unbelievable to watch, I'm so proud of that.
04:02Today they have created something so special outside the stadium, in the stadium
04:06and now we have set the standards that, as I said, we are all responsible to maintain
04:12because if we can provide that we know the outcome.
04:18How different was that from last season when you were going to see the speech?
04:25Well, at that point I think we knew that we were going to finish second
04:29and we didn't have another final to play, so yeah, what I said to them,
04:33see you at Serhus Park and then see you in Budapest, so another two to play.
04:47The biggest ever of Andoni and all the players and all the people that are supporters of Bournemouth,
04:55I think we are a lot because we know that that means if tomorrow they get a result for us.
05:01He's obviously a very good player, he's going to send an attack tomorrow morning.
05:04I don't think it's neat, I mean, what he's done in that football club, the transformation
05:09and what they are playing for us, I don't think they need anything else.
05:12I mean, when you look at how Burnley played today, the spirit that they show,
05:16how difficult they made it, so imagine tomorrow.
05:19OK, last couple of markets, Ben.
05:32No, I cannot comment on that.
05:35I think the day that he makes the decision to stay or leave, then we can comment, I think.
05:42OK, everyone?
05:43Yeah.
05:49Thank you very much.
05:50Thank you very much.
05:51Thank you very much.
