00:00Some new players in, some very good players in, and a very good manager they brought in,

00:14so for me it's not a surprise that they just keep continuing the results that they had

00:19the second half of the season.

00:22It's a young team, that's the first thing that I see, a lot of them have long-term contracts

00:28but I think they are in a good place at the moment, if I look at the quality they have,

00:33if I look at the way they play.

00:35It's especially a game for all the clubs, Liverpool is a nice environment, fantastic,

00:45we are excited to play this kind of game, but at the same time I think all the games

00:51that we played until now, no one of them has been easy, all the Premier League games they

00:56are difficult, they are not easy, and as I said we are going to try to do our best

01:01and prepare the game in the best way we can and try to get points.

01:05They got less points than they deserve, that's all I can see with this long international

01:10break that I had time to see a few games, they got less points than they deserve, so

01:15always have been tough with balls, since Nuno Espirito Santo was the manager and all the

01:21time he will be an exception.

01:23They are very well coached, they are a super intense team, really, really competitive,

01:28very clear idea of what they want to do, they should have very different results in my opinion

01:35to some of the things that they have, especially against the big teams and away from home,

01:40but it's going to be a big challenge, as an international break going to a place like

01:45them, with the courage, with the intensity, with the purpose that they play, we have to

01:50be at our best tomorrow.

01:51We have to climb a mountain, but this is top football, sometimes you have to face challenges,

01:59and sometimes it goes up, sometimes it goes down, but I'm sure we will make it a success,

02:05as we did the last two seasons, we will make it a success, and I think we are in a direction,

02:14underneath I see the good things, I see underneath I see good patterns and I see also the good

02:20stats, what confirms that we are in a good direction, but of course the ranking is not

02:25lying, we are where we are and that's not good enough.

02:29It's going to be a challenging game, they've got some fantastic players in the team, obviously

02:32they've got a new manager, they're doing things a little bit differently, we saw in the last

02:37game just what a threat they can be particularly going forward, good challenge for us, but

02:42I think the emphasis has to be on us reproducing the form we've shown in recent times, and

02:49more importantly sticking to the principles of our game.

02:51They've brought a lot of different players in, added to it financially, which is a choice

02:56that's not easy for clubs coming up, I know the guys there pretty well, and I think they're

03:00good operators, they're learning as they go, last time out was a tough one, that can happen

03:05in the Premier League, it's hard to get a handle on it, in some games you think you

03:09have got a handle on it and it goes away from you, so there will be a learning curve there,

03:12every game will be a learning curve, but from what I've seen so far, full of endeavour,

03:15full of belief to take it on, and I think that's what we've got to be ready for.

03:19I think that's what we've got to be ready for, I think that's what we've got to be ready for.
