00:00Looking at the game tomorrow, obviously the league table as well, you're in this
00:06battle to finish in the Champions League, every game is really important now, is
00:11this one of the closest battles you've been involved in in the Premier League
00:14when you consider the number of sides that are in that race to finish in the
00:19top five? I mean if you even going down to this last weekend's opponents in
00:22Bournemouth, four points behind you, there's a lot of teams at this stage of
00:25the season who will believe they can finish in the Champions League.
00:29Yeah it's true, but don't tell me about the toughest battles, we had in the past
00:35much more tougher than these ones, when you have to win 70, 60 or 70 games to win
00:40the Premier League, don't tell me it's not difficult, it was
00:45not a tough one, that is different because in the past, except the first
00:49season that we were together, one season that Liverpool was extremely strong and
00:53we could not compete with them, all the time we were there to fight
00:58for the Premier League and this is the first time, alongside the first season
01:03when I was here, nine years ago, we fight to qualify for the Champions League.
01:08Okay we have nine games left, we know exactly what we have to do, five at home,
01:12four away, we have to win our home games and we are going to try.
