00:01Joshua Jones from The Sun. Question for Dean, please.
00:04In an era of discontent and disconnection between a lot of footballers and a lot of fan bases,
00:10you've obviously got a really special connection with the Crystal Palace fans.
00:15We've seen that particularly after the second leg.
00:17Just talk me through a little bit about that connection that you have
00:19with the Sadler's Park fans in particular,
00:22and also therefore what it would mean as club captain to follow Declan Rice and Rhys James
00:27as your England teammates in lifting that trophy tomorrow night.
00:31I think firstly the connection with the supporters, it's an honour to have really.
00:37But I also think the team's got a special connection with the supporters
00:40and when I joined the football club I felt like that was distant.
00:43I don't think that was in place and it's good to see since the managers came in
00:47we've built that rapport with the supporters because I think it's important.
00:51And they can really help us tomorrow night again like they did in the previous big games.
00:57Yeah, obviously it would be a huge honour, but ultimately I've got to focus on the process
01:01and not the outcome at this moment in time.
01:04But yeah, just a lot of excitement, looking forward to the game really.
01:08Thank you. Thank you. If you can pass it behind you please. Thank you.
01:11Thank you. We go to this gentleman. Can you pass it forward please?
01:14Pass the mic forward to the gentleman in the white. Thank you.
01:20Good afternoon. Radex Sedlmajer, Czech Republic. Question for Dean.
01:25You've been one of the team's leaders on the way to the final.
01:28So I would like to ask what's your role in the dressing room before a big game like this?
01:35Because if there is someone who makes jokes or who is a serious person or if it's you. Thanks a
01:41lot.
01:42No, I think all the boys are pretty calm. We've been here before and we know what it takes.
01:48So everyone's calm within the dressing room. Come tomorrow night we'll obviously be focused,
01:52but we'll just be excited to get out there and show what we can do.
01:56Okay, thank you. There's one at the back there, the gentleman with his hand up.
02:00And talk sports. Question for Dean. I noticed you were smiling when your manager was going on about how he
02:05doesn't want the players saying yes, yes, yes all the time.
02:07I wondered if you had any kind of interaction with him like that or any stories relating to that that
02:12made you smile during that.
02:14And also, how much are you going to miss the manager?
02:17Yeah, no, it'll be a huge miss. I think he knows that.
02:21From yesterday, the players did a send off video to him. They spoke from the heart.
02:27Yeah, and the reason I was laughing is because I would never cross him, to be honest.
02:30So I don't know why he was saying that. So, yeah.
02:35Okay, thank you. Andy.
02:36Andrew McSteen, New Shopper. Question to Oliver or Dean as captain.
02:40How important was it that Cech and Eddie were in the travelling squad?
02:44What does it mean for them to be part of it and for you guys to have them here with
02:49you?
02:49And the last training session at Beckenham today, I guess, was emotional as well. Thank you.
02:55Yeah, I think it's great to have the boys with us.
02:57They've worked so hard throughout the season. They've had setbacks.
03:00And it's difficult. We live the pain with them as well.
03:04And it'll be great for them to be in and around it tomorrow night.
03:07And hopefully we can give them something to celebrate.
03:11Kit.
03:14Oh, sorry.
03:15Go on.
03:16Okay.
03:17Hi, Oliver.
03:18Hi, Oliver.
03:18Hi.
