00:00 How difficult is it to convince even the supporters that something like the Carabao Cup is really

00:06 important for them?

00:07 I don't know if we can convince them because if you ask about the priority what it will

00:13 be it wouldn't be for sure the Carabao Cup. For us it's more internally how we use it,

00:20 what are the demands we put on ourselves and how we approach every single game. We play

00:24 for Arsenal Football Club and you cannot approach it in any different way because that's not

00:28 respecting the game.

00:29 Do the players in a way almost take it as a bit of an insult when they're playing in

00:34 the Carabao Cup and all the big names are resting and suddenly they're playing and they

00:39 sort of think I shouldn't be playing in this either?

00:42 No. I don't know. I don't think I have three World Cup winners in the squad that can think

00:48 like this about the Carabao Cup. I might be wrong but I don't think nobody can think like

00:52 that. I think that would be very, very arrogant.
