00:00to agree with the fans who say you're going to win the league but that must feel like a pretty big win
00:07yeah if you play away at the Etihad if you win there it's always a big win no matter what the
00:12league table looks like because if you play away from home against the Pep team it's almost
00:19impossible to have more ball possession than than his team has so we knew we had to defend a lot
00:26and that's what we did really well and then some good moments in a counter-attack led to us winning
00:32the game and the fans can sing whatever they want i think they sing it quite long already but we know
00:38as a team how hard we have to work for every single win it was only a week ago or three days
00:42ago i don't know if the one is in but someone asked me if we had a dip wednesday so uh yeah i
00:50don't i don't believe that as well as i'm calm now about this win jamie hi arnie i understand
01:00arsenal have a game in hand but you are 11 points ahead so is it fair to ask you if it's your title
01:04to throw away now you can ask every single question you want but uh i've said many times
01:12it's so hard to judge the league table before every single game is played because
01:18it the person that asked me this asked me i this after the villa game and in my opinion villa away
01:23and and city away are very two very very very very difficult games so you can drop points over there
01:30and for example arsenal already played those two games so it's it's hard to judge it but we are in
01:35a good position but we also know how hard it was for us to win against wolves now we play newcastle
01:42we played 3-3 over there which was in my opinion also a good result although after 89 minutes we
01:48were 3-2 up but we also experienced how difficult that one is so in every other league having a
01:54lead like this would be very comfortable except for this one because this this this league every
02:00single game gives you a lot of challenges even plymouth argyle gave us a lot of challenges
02:05Q. Hi Arne, given what you've just said and having watched the league from afar before
02:12coming over here could you have imagined to be this far ahead at this stage of the season so
02:16early in the season to be no especially over a team like man city and how dominant they are
02:21because you never think like that if you start somewhere you don't think about where you are
02:24in terms of points in the end of the season what we do know is that no one saw us as a title
02:30contender when we started in the beginning of the season and i and i think no one in the world
02:36of football would have expected city not to be so close to the to the one that that leads the league
02:43if if they are not the one that they're that lead the league but we all know why they had many
02:47injuries they had a difficult period but again today you could see although the result maybe
02:56doesn't show you that but how good they are as a team and how difficult they are to play against
03:06i know you said there nobody saw you as a title contender but did you see yourself
03:10when you came in here and seen the squad that you could do this this season i said many times
03:16already i always felt that we had a lot of quality that's why we didn't uh abroad except
03:22is another player in but i was curious to know two years ago liverpool played champions league
03:30and wanted to compete for the league that was difficult and then they ended up six last season
03:35they were europa league if i'm correct so they mostly rested their players then and they could
03:40play in the weekend and they were competing till five six seven eight games before the end
03:46so what i was curious about is can we do both what this club has done what jürgen has done for so
03:51many years um and till now we are doing quite a good job in both competitions but um we also have
04:00quite a difficult draw in the champions league well just on the first goal the set piece routine
04:09really nice moment of aaron briggs everyone congratulate sorry in the dugout how much
04:13credit does he deserve for working on that set piece and what impact has he out in in terms of
04:17the set pieces this season now he's he's done his work very very very well and you don't always see
04:24the result of that during games because uh many times we were close to scoring and i always say
04:30people might not know it over here yet but if you go to holland people's after years again about a
04:35set pieces but i always say if you want to win a big game you need to have a neutral balance in
04:40set pieces or a positive one so we go fill our way and they score and we don't it's so hard to
04:45win against the villa or a chelsea or an arsenal and today it was the opposite we scored from a
04:50set piece and that gives you such a boost uh for this game because at that moment of time it wasn't
04:56that we were dominating the game and it wasn't expected that we could score at any any second
05:02so yeah set pieces are vital um and we started with a new group of people this season
05:08and we need to give them a bit of time because i think that's also what you see at arsenal when
05:13they started working it wasn't immediate it takes a bit of time before you see the results
05:18and that's what we are hoping for in the upcoming 11 as well
05:27Hi Arne, I want to ask you about Mo Salah another big game another big performance from him
05:32is there any word you can use to define his level this season? That's been asked many times
05:38and it's difficult i think the number speaks for it speaks for themselves so what what what
05:42pleased me most today is that mostly we have in every game apart from this one i think maybe the
05:48home game against city or chelsea but we have more ball possession so that means we bring him many
05:54many many times in promising position but today there wasn't that many moments we could bring him
06:00in promising positions but these 7, 8, 9, 10 moments that we gave him the ball in those positions
06:05he was every time a threat and that probably tells you even more the quality player he is because
06:10it's not so easy for an attacker if he has to defend defend defend defend and then he gets the
06:14ball and does something special that's something not many things seems seem difficult for Mo
06:24last one John Cross hello sorry about the slip um
06:30oh the dip the dip um i was just going to ask you about um uh uh Mo Salah said that basically he
06:37feels that sort of the the big players want another title just how much of the kind of the
06:42spirit in the dressing room has been the driving force this season if you if you ask um i would
06:50hope that if the ones that are maybe the ones that haven't won it yet which you call as not
06:55the big ones that they would want to win something this season as well uh and looking at them how
07:01hard they work i think all of them want to achieve something this season um but we know how hard it
07:07is we've uh this this league has always gone till the end except i think for one season when when
07:13liverpool won it there was a 25 points gap in all the other season we're so close if it was
07:18liverpool or later on it was arsenal together with city
07:24the boys have worked every single day really hard to be where they are now and i hope and assume that
07:29they will keep doing that for three more months and let's see where we are then thank you
