00:00It's a big city, but it's a big rivalry. It's a part of London that we want to conquer.

00:10They want to do the same. There's been a lot of shifts as well over the years as

00:15well. We've been more dominant and it's just beautiful, especially when we play

00:19at home in front of our people. We know what it means to them and the energy

00:23that they're going to bring, the energy that the team is going to bring in every

00:26single action and it's just a privilege to play those kind of games, so we cannot

00:31wait to get to Sunday.

00:33Now the international break is done. So now we'll be until March, see each other every

00:37three days, four days, three days for this game. So now it's a real, real, real season

00:42to start now and the importance to be there, to be close there and after that

00:47arrive at the end of the season with the chance that we can fight it. That is the

00:50target and of course winning tomorrow will be an important step for us.

00:56That's top team. I never see the table when we analyse opponents. Top, top team.

01:04I've been one of the toughest players in the last years and have been in good games.

01:09The atmosphere is a Champions League team and they're doing really well. But we're

01:15ready again for a new challenge.

01:17I think I've said many times already that at this moment of time we're not even thinking

01:21or talking about it. Actually, we didn't do this last season as well, when we were top of the league.

01:25It's just about the next game. And I've said many times last season and I say this this season again as well.

01:32The best way to judge a league table is after 38 games. But the next best thing, in my opinion, is after 19 games.

01:38And now, let's see where we are then. But at this moment of time, the only focus we have is

01:44winning games of football, which it was actually the same last season at this moment of time.

01:50to play every game like it's the last one or the first one. But of course, if you ask me, I expect a

01:57team with more control, more dominance, playing a better football and the most important thing,

02:06more competitive in every way. In our league, it doesn't matter. The table, it doesn't matter.

02:11Everything is so tight. That is irrelevant. And if you know the history of our team,

02:18you never know where is the difficult game. So that is completely relevant in the Premier League.

02:24It's never been easy the whole time to go back to Old Trafford and get results. It's always been a tough place to go.

02:31In my early years here, when we were up against Alex's team, it was always really difficult, the teams they had.

02:37So I'm looking forward to going back. I'm always treated well. I think Manchester United have got an incredible support

02:46inside the stadium. I think they really get behind their manager and their players. And, you know, I'm looking forward to it.

02:54Yeah, it will be a different game. We know that every game is different. Probably tomorrow we need to use

02:59different strategy, different weapons. No doubt that it's going to be again a tough game, especially after

03:09international break, after 12 in the morning, you know, away. It's always a tricky game and we need to pay attention.

03:24Right.

03:27Ooh.

03:29Yeah.

03:30Oh.

03:30Yeah.

03:31Yeah.

03:33Yeah.

03:34It's just coming from your family, you see it, you see

03:37ona sec un� étaiento, caught by everybody, think of us.

03:41Yeah.

03:42Yeah.

03:43Yeah.

03:45Yeah.

03:47Them В limeade, which is ancient and it's vectors of each other than the Different

03:50having come together and that separates us down, we can find out

03:52among them.
