00:00Has it been hard to bring the players back down to work?

00:04It's not about bringing them back, it's now maintaining that energy,

00:08that momentum and using it towards Brentford

00:12and the very difficult game that we're going to face today against the team.

00:16When you look at what they've done, it's just incredible, it's remarkable,

00:20it's a beautiful story and they have earned it in the way they work,

00:23in the way they are organised, in the way they believe, in the way they play.

00:26So, big credit to them and it's going to be a really tough test for us.

00:30You might know already, but Thomas Frank was at the Emirates on Tuesday

00:34doing his homework. How much respect do you have for him as a manager?

00:38A lot, I mean, more than respect for his admiration.

00:41I think he's done it in a way, he's done it with a football club

00:45that everybody shares the vision, very clear identity.

00:49A club, a team that we can learn a lot from,

00:53because the way they did it is very, very clever, in my opinion.

00:57And then the way it has sustained and evolved as well, the model,

01:00really well-timed, in my opinion.

01:03So, look at the results that they had away from home in the last six matches as well.

01:06So, we know what it's going to require for us to beat them.

01:10Where do you think the main threat comes from?

01:12That's the thing, that they have many, you know,

01:15they are really aggressive in the high press,

01:17if they turn the ball over there in transition, they are really good,

01:20really well-organised, obviously.

01:22When they go really deep, they have runners from deep as well

01:25to help you in that situation.

01:27Any restart of play can become a set-piece

01:30and they play from that and they create a lot of chaos from that.

01:33So, yeah, you have to be very well-prepared.

01:36Until next time...
