00:00What do you want to see on Sunday from your team?

00:04It seems this season they're so up and so down,

00:08one game can be great, one game can be a bit like Real Madrid on Wednesday,

00:13so what's important to see from you on Sunday?

00:17I think we're in a not-bad moment.

00:20If you see a part of Madrid, it's a better team right now,

00:27so I had the feeling that not just Madrid,

00:33for many years in the Champions League,

00:35we can compete with any team,

00:37going through or going out of the competition,

00:42always we were there.

00:44I think everybody knows that the previous seasons

00:47against that team, exceptional team,

00:49we were able, they feel it, we feel it,

00:51that we were there in many aspects better than them,

00:55but this season we were not, it happened,

00:57except the reality, maybe we couldn't go through,

01:00but sooner or later, with the situation,

01:03look now with the two central defenders again,

01:05out for two or three months,

01:07we could not go further in many competitions,

01:11and the priority of the Premier League is massive,

01:13important for us, and we want to see,

01:16but in terms of the other part of that,

01:18in the Premier League we did good games,

01:20even we lost 5-1 against Arsenal,

01:22I would say we played a really good 60 minutes,

01:25except the first five, where we conceded a goal

01:28and gave away another chance,

01:30the rest was good, but we are not stable,

01:32but in games, in other games,

01:34like for example Newcastle,

01:36we have been at a high level,

01:38so it's real, because every game is different,

01:40the opponent is different,

01:41the strength of the opponent is different,

01:43and yeah, try to take a good game,

01:47and the points that we need to stay up there,

01:50to qualify for next season,

01:52where we were the last Wednesday.
