00:00 For me it's the best team, the best coaching staff, the best coach, the manager.
00:11 And of course it's going to be a challenge.
00:15 We want to compete against them.
00:17 We really know that it's going to be tough, but I think we're going to go and try to compete
00:22 in our best and try to, you know, what we want is to win the three points because that's
00:26 important for us.
00:27 The world is getting better, every manager needs his time, so new club, new players,
00:34 but sooner or later, and I guess sooner than later, we'll be top, you know, be a contender
00:43 because the quality in all departments are there.
00:47 I think he was already a coach when he played.
00:49 He was a leader.
00:51 He was someone very intelligent that could navigate in very different scenarios really
00:58 well.
00:59 And you could tell straight away that he was going to be a top coach and this Premier League,
01:03 we all have difficulties, we all have good moments and I'm really happy to see him doing
01:08 what he's doing.
01:09 You can see the journey they've been on with, yeah, just a very robust squad in every way,
01:16 strong physically, good technically, speed in the right areas and a team that's well
01:25 coached and belongs where they belong at the moment, which is, you know, the top, the elite
01:29 of English football.
01:30 I said right at the start, we've only had one window trying to build a team.
01:31 It was never going to happen in that one window.
01:32 So we've got to plan, whether that's January, whether that's the summer or beyond and we'll
01:42 work through that.
01:43 But right now, what's important to me is, you know, we've got a significant, still a
01:47 significant amount of games between now and January and we want to make sure we're performing
01:52 at a good level.
01:53 I think they have some more good performances and results.
01:58 So we're fully aware of that.
02:00 And in the Premier League, there's no easy game.
02:02 You have to play at your best, at your highest levels every game.
02:08 So yeah, also there, we are fully aware of it and we have to be 100% focused in the game
02:14 to win that game.
02:15 It's super challenging to play Thomas Frank and Brentford.
02:18 It's for different reasons.
02:19 For sure, they do really well.
02:21 So I'm not sure they're 100% happy with the season, but losing Ivan Toni, if that player
02:26 he was for them, is brutal.
02:31 And yeah, but they are stable in the table.
02:34 It's probably what Brentford wants.
02:36 The results change the whole feel of that.
02:38 I think we've actually been strong often, home and away.
02:41 There's been a few that have got away from us.
02:43 We know that.
02:44 Hopefully, we've corrected some of them things.
02:47 But no, Palace is a good club, fantastic manager.
02:50 Ray Leung as well.
02:51 People are holding absolute high regard.
02:54 So I look forward to seeing them.
02:55 But obviously, all the respect goes out the window when the whistle blows.
