00:00I would prefer not to forget what has happened before, because we're 11 points clear.

00:09In one of the most difficult competitions there has been in the past 10 years,

00:14if you look at how many English teams are still in Europe, how well they are doing in Europe.

00:18Arsenal beating Real Madrid 3-0 and it could have been 5 or 6.

00:22So that probably tells you how strong this competition is.

00:25He's shown at this club for so many years in a row now how much of value he has for the team, for the club.

00:32So, as like, I assume all our fans and his teammates, we're very happy that he extended for two more years.

00:39And hopefully he can show Sunday again how important he has been for the whole season to us.

00:46They have top players, really good on set pieces, the physicality, the way they run and recover

00:53when they are beaten in the first pressure.

00:55So they are a team that played together for a while.

00:59So they won a title that was really emotional for everybody.

01:04You can see it during that week.

01:06But again, we have to think in our team the way we want to play these kind of games.

01:12And we are being more consistent in the way we play the games.

01:16So we'll try to do the same on Sunday.

01:18It's better to have five teams instead of four for the situation they have.

01:22But they have seven, eight contenders.

01:24So it will be until the last moment.

01:27And I'm not agreeing with you.

01:29We don't have the squad.

01:30We don't have the squad all season.

01:32So we don't have neither.

01:35We have three centre defenders out that play the final Champions League.

01:39We have our best striker out until almost the last one or two games.

01:44So we don't have the squad.

01:45We don't have the squad.

01:46It's not about bringing them back.

01:47It's now maintaining that energy, you know, and that momentum and using it towards Brentford

01:53and the very difficult game that we're going to face today against the team.

01:57That when you look what they've done, it's just incredible.

02:00It's remarkable.

02:01It's a beautiful story.

02:02And they have earned it in the way they work, in the way they are organised,

02:05in the way they believe, in the way they play.

02:07So big credit to them.

02:09And it's going to be a really tough test for us.

02:11They are really aggressive in the high pressure.

02:13They turn the ball over there in transition.

02:16They are really good, really well organised.

02:18Obviously, when they go really deep, they have runners from deep as well

02:22to hurt you in that situation.

02:24Any restart of play can become a set piece.

02:27And they play from that and they create a lot of chaos from that.

02:30So, yeah, you have to be very well prepared.

02:32We'd like to get a bit more points if we can,

02:34but I think when you're playing the top teams at this time in the season,

02:37it's always difficult.

02:38They're desperate for the points.

02:40So, we go to Nottingham Forest, who've had a great season,

02:44are having a great season.

02:46And we're going to have to play well.

02:48I think Nottingham Forest have had an incredible season

02:51and great credit to them.

02:52They've got a great crowd down there.

02:55And it's always been an incredibly famous football club

03:00because of Brian Clough and their great years in Europe.

03:04I'm resigned to the fact that the football gods have got their eyes elsewhere this year.

03:10They're obviously busy with other clubs and other managers.

03:14So, whatever we get, we're going to have to do it without them this year.

03:17Obviously, we've got a game on the weekend.

03:18People like Richie and others will get more game time there.

03:21And hopefully, they'll get them in a position where, like I said,

03:25next week, you don't know, it may go into extra time

03:27and we may need some pretty big efforts from guys.
