00:00As a manager, the challenge of playing away in Europe on a Wednesday,
00:03away in the Premier League on a Saturday,
00:07how difficult is that in terms of your selection and your preparation?
00:13I think obviously it's more difficult when you've played yesterday night,
00:18we arrived here quite late at night,
00:21we haven't slept probably the hours that we normally sleep,
00:24but it's the challenge of playing competitions like the Champions League,
00:29and it's not going to happen just this week,
00:31it's going to be a constant, almost during the season,
00:34so we have to adapt and we have to be ready,
00:38the same way it was a quick turnaround after City,
00:40this is going to be the quick one,
00:42the next one is going to be, we have like four,
00:45just two days in between games in a row that is not normal,
00:49but has happened this time and we have to adapt to these circumstances,
00:52but I think we could rest also some minutes or some players yesterday,
01:03and I expect everyone physically to be at their best and also mentally,
01:08because you know, Brentford, you cannot play comfortable against Brentford,
01:11we know this, so we have to be ready for a battle, yes.
01:16Of course.
