00:00
How do you feel, man?
00:06
Every game is another new high,
00:08
Real Madrid, Champions of Europe and then you've been to Delta,
00:11
what have you made of that in this flight?
00:13
Yeah, obviously a great win, clean sheet.
00:16
I think there are so many things to be pleased with,
00:20
and now it's time to recover and focus on the week.
00:24
Champions of Europe beating, and then it's the Champions of England coming here,
00:27
so it's a huge moment on Sunday to really put a real stamp on this title race,
00:33
because you can't let it be once clear.
00:35
Yeah, but we're gonna be in December on Sunday,
00:40
and it's still five months to go or something,
00:42
so obviously we want to win the game,
00:44
but we know what they are capable of,
00:47
so we have to be first and foremost ready for that challenge,
00:51
and whatever happens after that, we have to keep going and stay calm.
00:55
And you seem to be able to rise to every challenge that's put in front of you.
01:00
Yes.
01:01
What's the key to all that?
01:03
Hard work, and stay humble and calm.
01:07
And quality.
01:09
But there's a belief and conviction about everything you do these days.
01:13
I think that belief and conviction has been there for many years,
01:17
it's all about consistency and staying calm.
01:22
We are winning games, we want to keep improving,
01:25
because we know we can still, even winning a big game like today.
01:29
So, on to the next one.
01:31
From a Man City perspective, I don't think anybody would expect their current number four,
01:38
but you know what they have in their locker room.
01:42
Yeah, for a reason they won four times in a row.
01:45
We have to be ready for a very difficult one on the weekend, and we will be.
01:51
Virgil, a quick word for Conor Bradley,
01:53
up against one of the world's best players in Kieran McLaughlin,
01:55
he had a fantastic performance tonight.
01:57
Fantastic young player, I think since he came in,
02:02
playing regularly, obviously having Trent in front of him,
02:06
he's done so well, I'm pleased for him.
02:09
Good boy, works hard, has so much potential and quality,
02:14
I'm very happy for him, and today he showed his quality on and off the ball.
02:19
So, he has to keep going, and he's at a good place to do that.
02:25
What about your future, would you say here?
02:28
What a direct question!
02:31
They don't ask me that direct, but listen, at the moment there's nothing I can say.
02:35
The only thing I can say is that I'm fully focused on Man City from now on.
02:39
Real Madrid need a defence centre.
02:43
Do they?
02:44
They need.
02:45
I don't know.
02:46
Yeah, because of military injury, alibi injury...
02:49
Rudiger is there, no?
02:51
Rudiger?
02:53
Maybe, you and Real Madrid.
02:55
When?
02:56
In the summer.
02:58
In the summer?
02:59
Well, like I said to you before, the main focus at the moment for me is Man City,
03:06
Liverpool, fully focused on that,
03:09
and I have nothing else to say regarding my future.
03:16
Man City this season, do you see more vulnerability than in previous years
03:21
when you've been up against them both throughout the season?
03:24
Obviously they're not in the best form of their lives,
03:31
I think injuries play a big part in that.
03:34
We as a team have been in a situation like that, where we've had loads of injuries,
03:39
and it's never easy to then find consistency and the confidence.
03:46
But I know, like everyone else who understands football,
03:50
and I've seen Man City over the last few years,
03:52
that they can turn and run any moment.
03:55
Kemara pain? Hopefully not on Sunday.
03:58
But we have to be at our best to get a result, and that's what we're going to do.
04:04
Could you ask the Argentinians if they have an opportunity to re-join Real Madrid?
04:08
I'm not going to answer that question.
04:13
No?
04:14
Ben, you're up against Erling Haaland on Sunday,
04:17
obviously you've come up against them badly tonight too,
04:19
huge names at the game, but on Sunday how much do you relish
04:22
the battles with them?
04:25
Yeah, it's always good to be playing against the best, same as tonight.
04:29
Not only Kylian, but obviously Jude was very good as well in Monty,
04:33
very difficult to handle at times,
04:36
but on the weekend it will be the same.
04:38
It's nice to see a four-on-neutral,
04:43
we're really looking forward to it,
04:46
and we'll start focusing on it from tomorrow morning straight away,
04:50
and try to see how we're going to attack them in the right way to get a result,
04:54
because that's what we want to achieve.
04:56
I know you said there is a long way to go,
04:59
but you said City at some point will hit form...
05:02
Hopefully not, but I think they will, yeah.
05:04
But is that why, maybe, to open up as big a gap as possible?
05:08
I think we should not look at anyone else but ourselves.
05:12
As long as we are consistent, getting points on the board, that's all that matters.
05:17
So that's what we're focusing on, I don't look at others,
05:22
I want to make sure that we as a team, as a club, are winning games,
05:27
finding ways to win the game, working our socks off and staying calm.
