00:00In terms of Fulham, you probably remember the game in December

00:03where they came and gave you a real good goal.

00:06What memories do you have of that game in particular,

00:08as to how difficult a side they had to face?

00:11The memory I have of that game is that they should have had a red card in the first half as well.

00:17But they didn't get it, and that did cost us points.

00:23But the main memory I have about that game

00:27was that we played incredible with 10 men.

00:32And if we can have the same effort and intensity with 11,

00:39we give ourselves a chance to win the game against Fulham.

00:44But I also remember the first 10 or 15 minutes that Fulham started off really well,

00:49when it was still 11 v 11.

00:51So they're a good team, they have definitely more than a few frets.

00:57That's the both I remember. It was a great game of football where in the last few minutes

01:03we got a few very good chances, I think Virgil was one of them,

01:07that could have scored the winner.

01:10Was it also the game that Jota scored the same goal as he did yesterday?

01:13Yeah. So, many memories about that game.

01:18And in terms of your approach, you talk about not thinking too much about the title being so close.

01:26Is it just having to take that usual mentality of one game at a time,

01:30forget everything else, just concentrate on one game?

01:34Yeah, because I said so many times, apart from we've played 30 games now,

01:39maybe there were three or four games where the score was so clear

01:43that in the last 20 minutes it wasn't a problem anymore.

01:47Almost all of our other games have been really tight.

01:51So that probably tells you as well how big of an accomplishment it is

01:55that we are 12 points clear at the moment and that we are doing so well,

01:59but because it doesn't come from itself, it's not like the team that won the league

02:06in the last four times, where so many times 20 minutes before the end

02:10or at half-time we were already 3-0 or 4-0 up.

02:13That's not our season.

02:16That's why I have to give so much credit to our players,

02:20because if you every time have to fight with a one-goal lead or you are one goal down,

02:26it's probably even harder than being 3-0 or 4-0 up at half-time.
