00:08 In football, you lose games.
00:10 So we perform in our best, we could not able to win.
00:15 So what next?
00:17 So we don't have time to reflect.
00:20 We reflect in summertime, what happened during all the season.
00:24 So in football, it's you win, you compete to win.
00:29 That is what we have done, but sometimes you win, sometimes most of the times.
00:33 But lately in this club, it didn't happen in years, but sometimes you lose games.
00:37 So, and this is what happened.
00:40 >> Of course, players that maybe repeat,
00:43 maybe repeat that we have the possibility to play again.
00:47 They're going to already know what it means to play in Wembley.
00:50 But that could be a good, how to help, to rest more and
00:55 to be calm and to approach the game in a different way.
00:59 >> Of course, they are dangerous, they are in the semi-final.
01:02 And then it's logical.
01:06 And their last season, they were that far away from promoting to the Premier League.
01:12 So they do a fantastic job over there.
01:15 And we have seen the game against the Wolves in the quarterfinal.
01:20 The mentality in the team is fabulous.
01:23 So we have to play to our best levels.
01:26 >> If you want to be champion in the Premier League,
01:28 you have to be close to perfection.
01:30 So, and if you are not perfect, you have to deal with the setbacks in the best
01:34 possible way or in a perfect way.
01:36 So because that's about and that's what we are now doing.
01:39 We had a setback week, if you want, with three games.
01:42 We didn't like too much the results, especially.
01:45 And now we have to start turning it around.
01:47 >> Well, the contest is clear that if we win, we are top of the league.
01:51 That's the contest, you need anything else to be motivated.
01:55 You need anything else to go to that game with your mind clear and
02:00 the purpose very, very clear.
02:02 You have a problem.
02:04 It's now about showing against Wolves what we are made of and
02:08 turn the situation around and the turnaround can look really, really positive for us.
02:13 >> I've tried to make it clear every game should be a must win.
02:16 It should be every football club.
02:17 I think the stature and the grandeur of the club,
02:19 I think every game must be a must win.
02:21 That's what I want the players mentality to be.
02:24 Endlessly spoken since I've been about finding consistency.
02:26 We have had spells and we have had spells and we haven't.
02:29 And that we certainly haven't over the last run.
02:31 But equally making sense of that and using the things we learn and
02:36 using that to move forward.
02:37 So the next one's a big one, but they should all be big games when you're wearing Everton shirt.
02:41 >> It's been a must win for a while for us now, but I guess you get down to the wire and
02:48 we're not the only team in the league with must win games and
02:51 it's a must win for both teams, of course.
02:54 At the same time we talk about must win, but from our side,
02:58 I don't think we have anything to lose.
03:00 We've been written off about 15 games ago.
03:05 So we're still there.
03:07 We're still fighting.
03:08 We've just got to show the same energy as in the last games.
