00:00Your start to the season continues to break records for a manager in their first season
00:05in the Premier League.
00:06Where does this start you've made sit in comparison to your own expectations
00:10and also those of the targets that you set?
00:13It's not that if I start the season I have targets,
00:17how many points you want to have after a certain amount of games.
00:20It is what I just said about the joy you have after a game,
00:26it's 10-15 minutes and that's also the way I look at the fixture list.
00:31So it's always the next one you try to prepare and not looking too far ahead,
00:35because that's of no use in football.
00:37So you don't go into a season thinking,
00:39oh, after 10 games I want to have so many points.
00:42No, the only thing you want is your team to play in the best possible way
00:45and to prepare the team in the best possible way.
00:47And therefore you have your training sessions, your team meetings,
00:50and there's where your main focus is,
00:52and I'm not so much into how many points and where we exactly are,
00:58it's just trying to improve every single day.
01:01And that's what we're trying now and that's also what's needed,
01:06because teams around us do the same.
