00:03We've got a really tough opponent tomorrow, so we're going to have to really earn the right to win the
00:07game,
00:08but certainly that will be the mindset of the players and the team.
00:11That's all done. That's all in the past. I have huge respect for Fabian,
00:14what he's done and what Brighton has done as a club. It's just remarkable
00:18and tomorrow is going to be a beautiful game to watch, I'm sure.
00:22I have the feeling that the Sunderland game will be the toughest game since we started the season.
00:27I watched them already in the last two days, three, four games. I know them already.
00:33I know how strong they are and I have the feeling that on Sunday we need a top performance to
00:41beat them.
00:41It's a club that they have developed their project and the game very well.
00:46They have very complete in many, many aspects with the ball, without the ball.
00:51They have great strength playing home, so it's going to be a big challenge.
00:55I saw the game from last year, so you learn from everything and tomorrow it's going to be a big
01:00test for us.
01:00I know where we are going and I know the stats they have there, not only in their stadium overall.
01:09I think you see all the games they have lost in a long while, you realize how difficult it is
01:17to beat them.
01:18I wish them all the best, but there is another part that is the most important one right now.
01:24We need to go there and win and beat them and be as ruthless as possible and leave all the
01:33talks for after the game.
01:34Yes.
01:34It's not always going to go perfect, it's not always going to go to plan, I think.
01:40Well, I know, you know, history tells you that any team that's been successful goes through periods
01:45when you've got to work through it, you've got to come through it, you've got to improve.
01:51We've had a small period now of this recent time where it hasn't been exactly what we wanted it to
02:01be.
02:01Most important is the game of tomorrow. Tough game, but we have the qualities, the players.
02:10They have one of the best coaches in the world. They change in many players like us.
02:18They brought younger but very good players, potential very good players.
02:25And their style is clear, even they change in many players.
02:30So it's a tough game for us.
02:32I think everybody who now watches the Premier League would say there's no expectations anymore
02:36because of the level of the teams and whoever's playing.
02:39I think even more so this year. I think it looks as if it's, you know, quite up and down
02:43at the moment.
02:44We've seen Hull doing brilliantly well in the Premier League where I don't think many people would have seen that.
02:48We'll have to wait and see, but overall I think they've started the season pretty well and they'll be pleased
02:54with where they are.
02:55Now we need points and I know that Leeds is really a good team.
02:59I saw them in Stamford Bridge against Chelsea and I saw the game against Newcastle too and they are really,
03:06really good.
03:07And we have to recover, to be fit and in shape to play against them.
03:13.
03:14.
03:14We'll see you next time.
