00:004.30 Sunday is a very big moment for you, your Anfield career as Liverpool manager begins,

00:07just wondering how much you're looking forward to it and what you're expecting?

00:11It's not going to be the first taste, because we've played Sevilla already,

00:15but it's clear that it's the first league game at Anfield,

00:18and I'm looking forward to it, but I'm looking forward to every game I've played in the past

00:24as a manager and also to this one.

00:28It's going to be a big crowd, probably twice as big as the one you played at Frontop last Saturday.

00:32How do you manage the nerves? Are you a nervous manager?

00:36I hope they are twice as loud as the Ipswich crowd,

00:39because the Ipswich crowd was really, really loud.

00:42So I'm hoping the fans can be twice as loud then as the Ipswich ones,

00:46that would be a big help for us.

00:48But no, I'm not nervous at all, certainly not at this moment,

00:51because I'm in the middle of preparation, preparing the team for Sunday,

00:56and actually, no, nerves are not there.

01:01Not even at 4.25 on Sunday?

01:02No, it wouldn't be a good thing.

01:05If you've got nerves then probably you don't trust what you did before,

01:08you just don't trust your team.

01:10And I trust what we as a staff do during the whole week,

01:15to prepare the team in the best possible way,

01:16and I trust the team a lot as well, again on Sunday.
