00:00I don't think anyone in the last 8 or 9 years or maybe even longer would have said that

00:12City at home or away. The word easy never comes up to my mind if I think about City.

00:19They are still a very, very, very good team and one of the reasons why I think Pep Guardiola

00:25is the best manager in the world, or one of the best managers in the world, I think the

00:29best though, is that he always comes up with solutions for his problems. And his problem

00:37now might be that Rodri is out, but we all know, at least I think, that he will come

00:43up with a problem that the run of form will go again.

00:47We're going to be in December on Sunday and it's still five months ago or something, so

00:53obviously we want to win the game, but we know what they are capable of, so we have

00:57to be first and foremost ready for that challenge. And whatever happens after that, we have to

01:04keep going and stay calm. For a reason, they won four times in a row. We have to be ready

01:09for a very difficult one on the weekend and we will win.

01:13A big difference, a team like Jerez lost one game, that is in really good form. They are

01:18so powerful in all departments, especially in the boxes. It will be difficult, but in

01:27the situation that we are in, they lost a lot of games in a row, especially three in

01:31the Premier League. Always I think about the target when we arrive in March, April, where

01:39we are right now, OK, we are one or two months ago, now is the moment to try to do it by

01:44November, December. It doesn't matter what happens on Sunday, it will be more difficult

01:47Obviously we don't take results, that's for sure, but still there are many, many games

01:51to play.

01:52It's going to be a different match with a lot of fighting. Long balls, second balls,

01:59a quality coach that understands the league, understands the movement of the opponent.

02:04We have a short time to recover, we need to rotate the team, so I hope for a win and I

02:11hope to see different things in my team improve, like we did from Ipswich to now with Everton

02:19without training, but I expect to see different things and better things.

02:25I think everyone talks about a new manager bounce and all the rest of it, so it's more

02:28difficult in that kind of way of thinking, but they're still good players, they've got

02:33good players. A new manager for the Premier League, maybe give a different feel to it.

02:37I'm sure he's been working with the players and trying to get his thoughts across in the

02:41limited time period they've had, with obviously playing last night as well.

02:44I have huge admiration for what he's done in the game. Obviously he's from the same

02:48area as I am in the north of Spain. He's a team that is now in a high after the big win

02:58that they had against Newcastle away and he's always a really tough opponent, so we know that.

03:07I'm sure he's been working with the players and trying to get his thoughts across in the

03:08limited time period they've had, with obviously playing last night as well. I'm sure he's

03:09from the same area as I am in the north of Spain. He's a team that is now in a high after

03:10the big win that they had against Newcastle away and he's always a really tough opponent,

03:11so we know that.

03:12I'm sure he's been working with the players and trying to get his thoughts across in the

03:16so we know that.

03:18limited time period they've had, with obviously playing last night as well.

03:19I'm sure he's been working with the players and trying to get his thoughts across in

03:20the limited time period they've had, with obviously playing last night as well.

03:22limited time period they've had, with obviously playing last night as well.
