00:00I'll start with the comments that Mo Salah made on social media,
00:04so you're surprised he didn't say that.
00:05You and the word Mo is a combination over the last two years.
00:10How do you feel about what he had to say after the game,
00:13and I suppose what conversations have you had with him since then?
00:17No, I don't think it's that important what I feel about it.
00:20What is important is that we qualify for Champions League Sunday
00:24and I prepare Mo and all of the rest in the best possible way in the whole team.
00:29To be ready for the game on Sunday, and that is what matters.
00:33I was very disappointed after our loss against Villa,
00:37because a win would have given us qualification for Champions League,
00:42which we didn't, and now there's one game to go,
00:45which is a vital one for us as a club.
00:48Those comments though are seen as a personal criticism of yourself.
00:54So taking that into mind, and also given the fact that after the Leeds game,
00:58this season when he gave an interview,
01:00he was then subsequently left out of the team.
01:03What impact have those comments had on you, on the group,
01:08at a time when not only do you still need to get over the line
01:10in terms of Champions League qualification,
01:12there's also a farewell to Mo and a farewell to Andy.
01:16Was there any chance that Mo could have been left out of the squad this weekend?
01:21Again, that's a lot of questions in one question.
01:26The impact, I don't know if it had impact on the group,
01:29but what I've seen is that the team trained really well this week,
01:35and we hope to continue really well in the upcoming two days,
01:38so we're in the best possible way prepared.
01:41I think Mo and I have both the same interest.
01:44We want the best for this club, we want the club to be as successful as possible.
01:47We were both part of giving our fans their first league title again after five years,
01:53but we're also aware, all of us, that we didn't brought the same level this season.
01:58What we want, what he wants, what I want is the club to be as successful as we were last
02:04season.
02:07That is where my main focus is on now,
02:09because the game on Sunday could give us a really good base going into next season,
02:15and that is where we should focus on.
02:19And where would that be involved?
02:21I never say anything about a team selection,
02:25so it would be a surprise to you if I did that right now, I think.
02:29Finally, the scenarios facing yourselves,
02:31win, potentially finish fourth,
02:33that could also see a Champions League play shot to six on the table as well,
02:37but ultimately I guess it's all about you guys and finishing the season in the right way.
02:41Yeah, there are a lot of ifs in that scenario,
02:44but we know what we need to do, we need to win, we need to have a draw,
02:46and otherwise we have still an acceptable goal difference.
02:51But I think we would like to give our fans a nice way of ending this season,
02:59because there have been far too many disappointments this season for us,
03:04and with us I mean the club, so that includes the fans,
03:08and that includes us as a staff and players as well.
03:11So we want to end, of course, with a win,
03:15knowing that Brentford is playing for something really important for them as well.
03:20But that's where our main focus has been on after the Villa game,
03:25to be in the best possible place possible for Sunday.
03:29First off I have a question.
03:30We have a question.
