00:00 I play against Luton in the FA Cup, not thinking about United.
00:06 I play today, I need energy, fresh legs.
00:11 I know how tired, you don't know how tired and exhausted were my players, some players today.
00:18 To play against them just three days after, because normally in Champions League when you play Wednesday,
00:25 in all the countries in the world except in this country, they allow you to play on Saturday.
00:30 We play on Sunday.
00:32 And I need fresh legs, people like, who could sustain, who are fortunate, lucky or whatever,
00:39 to score two goals early and help us a lot because this competition is so tricky, so dangerous.
00:45 When you were talking about fatigue before, you said about how this is the only country in the world where you play a Sunday and then the Wednesday.
00:51 Have you ever talked to the Premier League about it, have you raised concerns?
00:56 Talk about the Premier League about that? No way.
00:59 It's not the Premier League, it's the broadcasters.
01:02 But it's all the same.
01:03 They know they have the answer. We pay a lot of money, so shut up.
01:07 So, OK, we play Sunday.
