00:00Just on an individual in Trent Alexander-Arnold,
00:03does he figure in your plans for these final two games?
00:07Have you had to have a chat with him about last week's experience and the mixed reception?
00:13As you know, I wasn't here the last few days.
00:19Neither was Trent.
00:22Neither was Trent, so I haven't spoken to him yet.
00:25Today is the first day we come back together.
00:27We feel this is also a very good lead-up to our game on Monday.
00:32I've said before that it's quite difficult for a team that already won the league
00:35to train so many days in a row.
00:39If you've already won something, you need to find the balance between days off
00:43and prepare very well for the next game.
00:45So we train today, tomorrow and Sunday, three days in a row,
00:48to be very well prepared for Brighton.
00:51Keep in mind that these players never had a few days off during the season
00:55because we were in the FA Cup, League Cup and Champions League
01:00and, of course, the Premier League for a long time.
01:02So where other teams maybe had a few days off during the season,
01:05we hardly ever had that.
01:06That's not an answer to your question, but I wanted to make clear that...
01:12And then an answer to your question, if Trent is involved, yes or no,
01:15that is why I told you this, because it's the first day we train after a few days off.
01:20So it's quite early for me now to say what the team would look like
01:24and what the squad would look like for Monday.
