00:00 I think two really good football teams, very talented football teams,

00:09 will face each other.

00:11 We watched Chelsea on the tour, whatever we could get from there,

00:15 from the last games they played, the Dortmund game, the Newcastle game.

00:19 A lot of good things. You can see that it's a really talented team,

00:24 after a disappointing season, it's all clear, so they want to show up, definitely.

00:28 New manager, top manager, so they will show up. We have to be ready.

00:33 He's one of the best, top five world managers,

00:37 I have a very good relationship with him, he was so nice when I left Tottenham,

00:43 one of the best messages I received.

00:47 I know his team, very good relationship,

00:51 and then he's doing a fantastic job in Liverpool.

00:55 He destroyed the Premier League Championship,

00:59 since day one, win, win, win, win, it's so difficult in this competition,

01:05 and in the finest style, the proper style from Bini,

01:09 so he's doing an incredible job and I'm pretty sure he's going to do it really well.

01:13 It will be a tough, tough game, especially at the beginning of the season,

01:18 especially for the Champions League teams, it's always so difficult,

01:21 because you need some time to reset, to really know,

01:25 'Oh, we have to come back to where we were,' and that is a question of time.

01:31 One thing is sure, our team will get better,

01:35 from this day all the way across the season,

01:39 that's one thing I'm sure of, the team will get better, just because of the way we work.

01:44 But we have to be ready tomorrow, and that's the reality of the job.

01:48 I don't try and assess too much where Man City are right now.

01:51 They did it in a really clever way, and they deserved it today, to get the points,

01:55 and tomorrow we're going to have to play better and deserve more.

01:58 It's a team that is extremely well organised,

02:01 and what they've done last season, especially the way they started,

02:04 and how they adapted to the league and other qualities is remarkable,

02:10 so they've done really well.

02:11 The league's not going to wait for us, it starts on Sunday, so we have to be ready for it.

02:15 Obviously it's a great test for us, Brentford away is tough for anybody in the league,

02:22 they showed that last year, and I think you've seen growth in their team every year,

02:25 they've been in the Premier League,

02:27 they've made some really astute signings to strengthen in the areas they need to,

02:33 it's going to be a great challenge for us.

02:35 We are ready, we want to go in the fight,

02:38 we are really looking forward, the team is really energetic,

02:44 the lads really worked very well during the pre-season, and we're going for it.

02:49 We have to look at our own, so we prepare the game,

02:54 and if that doesn't change, that makes it easy,

02:57 so I never look to an opponent, I respect them, we analyse them,

03:03 but it's always about how we play against that opponent, so it's up to us.

03:07 After viewing them last season, obviously at the end of pre-season you're never quite sure,

03:10 equally they won't be sure about us either.

03:13 We'll wait and see, but they had a very strong season last season,

03:16 they've still got some very good players,

03:18 so we have to be ready for every challenge,

03:20 and we've learnt that, that is something the club's learnt over the last couple of seasons,

03:23 there's absolutely no gimmies in the Premier League,

03:25 it's something I've been preaching for many, many years,

03:27 so you have to be ready for everyone,

03:28 whether it's the first game or the last game, you have to be ready.
