00:00For sure, we're going to prepare the game to win, and that's been the message already.

00:03It's a complete, absolutely complete team. That's why they have been the biggest rival

00:07in the last two seasons.

00:13Well, we always look at the individuals, the biggest strength that they have,

00:17and how we can nullify that and expose any areas that we can. That's for sure. No difference.

00:24Always have been a tight game last year, apparently because I think we are a good team.

00:29But they are good too. They do many, many good things in all the aspects,

00:34with high pressing and defending deep and transitions in the early stage of the season,

00:39I would say. So nothing more than the mood for the next games, the influence for the next games.

00:49But in terms of table and everything, it's not much important. It will be

00:53important when we go to London in the second part of the season.

00:58Well, I think they're in a great moment. I think they've been very,

01:01very consistent in the last two seasons together. There is an unbelievable chemistry

01:05there. You can sense it. And he gave us a lot with us tonight. I thought that

01:08they were both exceptional as well.

01:10He played a good 45 minutes the last game and was the best player in the league last season.

01:14So of course we need him to make competition and fight with the other midfield players,

01:19other wingers. And yeah, it's important he's back and he played good minutes and

01:24his movement in the small pockets is one of the best of the world. So that's why we are very

01:30pleased. He's pleased. You can imagine how pleased I am that he's back.
