00:00 It's an exceptional team, exceptional in all departments.
00:11 One of the toughest games we have until the end of the season.
00:16 It's playing really good, the last game has been really, really good.
00:21 They have everything, the intensity and the quality.
00:24 Most of the team, the fine, if they are able to not lose the balls, then it's difficult
00:29 to find a player that can lose the balls.
00:31 They are a really good team, top one tomorrow.
00:35 We are going to play and face a very good team, one of the best in the world, but at
00:39 the same time you need to be brave enough and to try to force them to defend, to run
00:44 backwards, face their goal.
00:46 If only we go there and wait and see what is going on.
00:49 I think it's a team that can dominate you and it's going to make you suffer.
00:54 Of course, the most important thing is to go there and to be brave and to challenge
01:00 them in being brave.
01:02 It's the most important part of the season and we know that every fixture is going to
01:07 play a significant role in what we want to achieve.
01:12 Burnley is the most important one at the moment.
01:15 It's a team that is extremely difficult to beat.
01:17 You look at the results and how teams have drawn or beat them and it's been for very
01:21 small margins and they are extremely well coached and it's a team that is very, very
01:26 competitive.
01:27 It doesn't change from when we played Spurs, when we played Liverpool, when we played City
01:31 not long ago.
01:32 You need a few things to go your way, you need exceptional performances and then at
01:36 the end these teams have always got tools to hurt you but you need to make the most
01:41 of your moments.
01:42 We certainly had enough moments across all of those games but we didn't make the most
01:49 of it.
01:50 We respect every opponent.
01:53 Definitely we are not in a position to underestimate any opponent so we will not do.
02:00 We have to play our best because we have seen their performances across the season very
02:06 good and especially the last weeks they are really improving.
02:10 So I have a lot of respect for this team and we have to play our best football.
02:17 We played a good form, then Arsenal obviously a proper dip, then Burnley, a super difficult
02:21 game but again the determination and attitude we showed in this game, dealing with a really
02:27 difficult situation inside the squad, I really liked a lot and now we have to be at our best.
02:35 If you want to win at Brantford you definitely have to be at your best, it's a really smart
02:41 coached team.
02:42 Gary has done an outstanding job.
02:46 They work hard for each other, they are a well organised team, we saw that when we played
02:50 them at their place.
02:51 They worked hard to the last minute and got the result.
02:55 They are always a threat going forward, they are exciting when they run with the ball.
02:59 We are expecting a tough game but I think you get to this point of the year and I don't
03:04 think there will be too many easy ones because everyone has got something to play for.
03:08 I think we are expecting a tough one.
