Transcript

00:00 We are competing with, as I said before, two of the most successful clubs in Europe in the last decade.

00:07 They have break every record that was in the history of this league.

00:10 I don't think I have ever been involved in a title race with three teams.

00:14 I'm not surprised about the situation right now. Not at all.

00:19 [The team is in the final stages of the season, and the players are still in the final stages of the season.]

00:24 [The team is in the final stages of the season, and the players are still in the final stages of the season.]

00:28 Actually, to be 100% honest, we are not now in that situation for 10 years with this team.

00:38 So I thought we would have been a bit more nervous.

00:43 Actually, I thought the boys were really calm.

00:46 I like that a lot, and yes, they still had moments.

00:49 That's how it can go, and you cannot deny them completely.

00:53 We won the game. I think we all agree we deserve to win the game.

00:57 And, yeah, really good afternoon.

01:11 Was it a good result for your point in terms of the title race as well?

01:16 I don't know. You want to win the game. We prefer to win it.

01:19 We cannot win it. Make sure we draw it, and we've done that.

01:24 Eleven months ago we were here and the story was very different.

01:28 We have to continue to make steps as a team and try to improve.

01:31 Today we've done that, and we still have many more to come.

01:36 [The team is now in the lead. Are they clear favourites or is that too simple?]

01:51 Always who's first is who's favourite.

01:54 In the second period it's Arsenal, in the third we are.

01:58 Are you concerned that you've only got 27 points to play for, so you might run out of points?

02:02 It's not in our hands. The only thing we can do is to be strong in the next game and try to win the game.

02:08 It's the only thing we can do.

02:10 Always we were top of the league, we were the favourites.

02:12 It was in our hands. Now it's not. So it's simple.

02:15 [The team is now in the lead. Are they clear favourites or is that too simple?]
