00:00We saw a little bit of Ange in the dressing room after the game on Thursday night and we got a sense of how special that moment was for you as a group and also how much you've been through, the highs but also a lot of lows. How do you use this season to drive you over the line to lift that trophy next week?
00:18Of course, it has been a tough season league-wise but what we did in the European Cup cannot be diminished for sure because we have the opportunity now to play a final.
00:39I don't know how many times during a career this can happen so it's a big opportunity for us players but for everyone involved with this football club, for the fans.
00:54We have this desire to bring the trophy here because for us we will mean to be in the history of this football club, we will be on the photos on the wall inside the stadium so it's something we will look forward to try to do.
01:14It's not just about lifting the trophy and giving the fans an amazing day, it's about changing the whole narrative around this club, proving that Tottenham can win when it really matters.
01:25Yes, of course, but I think the most important thing is for us as a group is to try to create history in a certain way and trying to do it our way.
01:42Especially on what we've tried to create over the last two seasons under Ange because he gave us everything and we try to replicate this every day, not accepting some losses but trying to do our best.
02:02But sometimes you have to understand sometimes the opponents are better than you and this is for me the toughest thing to accept.
02:12But I think we tried every day in every session in every game to deal with that as a big family, as a big unit and sometimes we couldn't cope with that.
02:27But the important thing now is we have a big and a massive game ahead and we're looking forward to doing it as a family.
02:35And just finally for me, you are one of the leaders in this side, particularly with some of the injured players.
02:40Finals are about mentality, aren't they? About getting it right in the head.
02:44What do you say to this young squad between now and then to make sure when you step out and you see that trophy and you walk out and Manchester United are lining up next to you that you can get this job done?
02:56Yeah, it's about a game of details, a game of moments. It will be a very tight game. So it's about understanding and trying to don't make mistakes.
03:10Because the team that could have the right mindset and the right discipline to make less mistakes than the other will leave this trophy. So it's about a game to be very focused for 90 minutes, 120 minutes, whatever it takes to leave the trophy.
03:30Just already this season so far, you've beat United three times. Does that give you a bit more positivity going towards the final that you've already done it so many times this season?
03:42Well, this is the past. We cannot look back at the past. Otherwise we have to look at the league in all the aspects we've been through and we don't want to do this.
03:54I think now from today we have just to look ahead to Wednesday the 21st and be ready to play the final. I don't think the past now it matters. It will matter how we will behave from now to the European final.
04:09Good luck at the final.
04:12Thank you. Thanks for doing that.
