00:00You mentioned Mo Sarri's body language there,
00:02I just wonder, does the hunger of some of the more senior players in the squad
00:06make rotating and making the substitutions difficult for you?
00:10To be clear, that's not the headline that Mo was frustrated,
00:14I could see that he would have preferred me not to take him off,
00:18but his behaviour was completely normal, he shook hands,
00:21he just probably thought, maybe there's one chance to come and I will score that one,
00:28he always does that, so people now say,
00:32oh, good substitution because Harvey scored,
00:34I think if I asked him he would tell me,
00:36if I would be there I would have scored the same ball as well.
00:40So he had a completely normal reaction,
00:44but not only the ones that, like you probably mentioned,
00:50like Mo and Virgil and the ones that won the league before,
00:52I think all of them show great character till now this season,
00:56and that's also what we need tomorrow again against Southampton,
01:00because they are not playing as a team that is bottom of the league,
01:04they take a lot of risks, they go man-for-man all over the pitch,
01:07that's the same what Paris Saint-Germain does,
01:10and they probably saw how difficult we had it over there with that game plan,
01:15so I'm expecting the same for tomorrow.
