I was I was being for you and the rest of the squad houses were constrained and wires.

Well, we've been given our our own programs and to do a bit light off season, you know, when you want holiday, do your own stuff on keep ticking over on.

We've obviously got, like, a big group trying everything that things are videos and stuff flying in different challenges.

So for us throw us to do on DSO.

We're staying in contact on DDE bit about her, and I just just normal stuff.

Really?

Sure things were going okay so far?

Okay, Just any interaction with the manager, You know, your link with them being the captain and speaking to the boys on the group chat, maybe keeping spirit tired the moment keeping everyone switched on.

You know, the managers in the group shot off.

Everybody's in the groove chatter.

You gotta be careful what you put in the picture.

A separate one for those videos don't yet.

Now it's all it's all.

It's all in one on.

Go, go, go, go Bone shows.

No, and there's no worries there.

And but yes Oh, at all the staff all the please everyone, What's up group?

And different things just get chucked in everything here and different things for us to do.

So I supported it pretty good in time to keep in those busy.

All right, listen, it's being Orc until now.

It's being a daring, brilliant season, and I just want to go to the start of the season and all the back of Lassie.

And even in the Champions League, you miss out just yields to a brilliant one city team and kept pits for the tail.

How difficult was it?

Or was it difficult for you under Manager Yang to rally the boys again and you start again?

Think called.

She called to to the time.

That would be something that you thought you controlled.

Close.

And it will be difficult to replicate that.

Yes, like you see it after the first after the Champions date filing when we're lost against Madrid.

Um, yeah, it was the worst feeling ever in my career in football, for a lot of us, really.

So it was really tough to take after begin and But then I think, having went through that that season were played such a good season.

No, only in Champions League on Dhe but in the league is well, I felt as though we're still going in the right direction, which that improve.

And there was still more to come from us as a team, you know?

Sure.

If anything, I think give us that that extra bit of fuel to the fire for us to go next season, which proved to be, um, in terms of the season we had after that was fantastic in the league again and obviously Champions League.

So then lose the league on the last year, which was another ready ready store moment.

Tough moment for us is a 10 on dhe boat within a few weeks.

It was the best moments of ever Korean so far.

And so that was it.

It was a quickly turn around that time, um, from from losing the league and in the end of me, Attar within the chaplain's.

The star June um was muscle for us, really.

And it was a It was a big moment for us as a team toe finally get over the line, a man with a big trophy.

And then since then the confidence just kept growing on were kept working hard as we always do, and yeah, opens, talk.

And then up until this point after that was played some pretty good stuff you mentioned.

Also being like face chauffeur.

You gotta cross the line.

But this season, gay, you're not unity, pickle.

A few trophies really started with the Super Corbin.

I think sometimes that competition is divided in this country are not taking that seriously on.

Of course.

So that's all these bigger ball was in court not to start the season Well, in terms of control, views up with that super cool against Chelsea.

Another song to the message along.

You want to trap it?

I talked to be Can they see in that guy was vital dealer Chelsea gave me early on.

Yeah, it was It was really important for us as a team, Um, especially half having won the Champions League, we wanted them to carry on and win more trophies.

So the more trophies a win.

Not so become the harbor.

And you sort of have the teas for anyone.

Not more and more.

And and that's what seemed to happen after that, really, in terms of winning super cop, then going on to in there the club world championships and also performance so well in the Premier League as well.

On Dhe, which was really positive, you know, because we didn't want to just when a trophy and then that that, you know, we spoke a lot about one improves a team studying when women more trophies sore.

Typical, too.

Two more after that in a few months was was important for us as well as a team I think you get, you know, you make a great start to the season.

I think a game everybody looks back on.

Really.

Now is the time Billy game really on Liverpool's ability on the crop to school in gold?

Well, it just felt with the league away, it wasn't.

It was probably six points in it.

At that stage with Widmann City, you would use a plain man city that formally just explain what makes this little team probably special.

I'm not sure more than more than ever in that game at Villa Pioppi, one nil down in the first half and somehow find two goals and similarly a close to the 90 minute wanted injury time.

Yeah, that that sort of mentality in that resilience, with most especially this season has been massive.

You know, in terms of the games, that was one.

Ah, failures door.

That is something that the manager read each start.

Um, instead, in the in the score 21st kid, you know our failures door time for any first kid way killed.

So what?

What When he first came, I can remember him talking about never, ever stop in and finish in or she engineer mentality within a GM.

You always finished.

You always keep going, no matter what happens within a game, no matter what scored is right until the very end.

Because you never know what can happen in football.

And you need to keep the same mentality and keep cool right until the end.

And always remember that right from the very beginning.

And if I look back through the time, but he's being here and you look a beams like dormant in the Europa League on common box saw like we did in a knack, him on just in little little games from in the Premier Li.

But people might not really pick up on, but when you go back.

I think that I was being a progression over a few years and not just one season.

You know, I think this season has been massive in terms of the consistency of it.

But I really feel is all that was a sort of work in progress.

And and now it's just part of our identity, really, that no matter what happens within within the game, then we will never stop when we never change the mentality until the game is finished.

You remember he actually gave that message to supporters of thinking.

This face, see isn't very critical of the supporters.

They would leave an alien a game.

I think, uh, maybe he wasn't shy in sentiment messages, applause and sure, that message then gets to play late in the game against West Broadway.

He gets really cute.

So Wayport absorbs that things together.

This resonate with the players on the pits, waters off the pitch.

And then there's that thing into.

Westbrook was a 22 drawings in front of the car.

I think that that is also help now in terms of getting these last minute goal go into the end, you almost start to go through that at the start, maybe get a bit of criticism, but also to send a message to you.

Well, suppose is, Yeah, I think again the West from games of a really go bomb because a lot of people would have criticized the team other manager for that in terms of after the game and was sort of clapping with fines and stuff.

But it wasn't it wasn't about the result.

You know, it was more about the mentality, and that's when the manager, I think, could start to see the change on because with the war's tough moments with the GM, but how we reacted, he will be very happy with.

And that's what the manager will look at, you know, within games when when under pressure, which you're always gonna be.

At some point in Ginn's how you reacted out, whether that's illusion, look all losing momentum and whatever that might be.

I think it's how you react and the manager's always looking for that and I think he's Yeah, I mean, a really big part of I would give him for it for a long time.

Well, I think that that game, I think, probably psychologically probably heads Man City.

In some ways, I think a lot of good men that day or a week with including a Liverpool from nowhere, get three points and you're playing City the following week before you get to the game.

I mean, how how big do you find games now in these last couple of years, the year before the Champions League able struggle this with this rivalry Liverpool, Manchester City.

We've got made in this one from England.

This well, do they feel almost like cup finals when you come up against the chicken and the leader of this small man city?

Yeah, that definitely is.

Ah, a rivalry there.

You know, every time you play against man seated got certain such a good pertain so many good players, and you know that it's gonna be a tough game, no matter what you know.

So yeah, it is is a lot of rivalry then, especially with it being that Owen Field it was again where we thought if we could give it everything we know, we can hurt them, and we know that we can get a good result which would put us in good stead.

Um, in terms of the position in the league, which in the end we managed to do quite well in comfortably.

I mean, I think that's one of the games with CDs.

And I think I thought Man City leaving well on the day that also And then you see the goals that you got in the game sending the face on from for being I was a great strength book.

Was that almost no other capital Young cops in the same thing?

Because it almost when you play a game But that Magnus unique metal shop, you've got a decent lead general.

Things okay with these positioning momentarily on another is a long way to go on.

I know what you want to say, but it feels Lord and people in from the beach city like Gandhi create that area.

Well, if you felt big, you know it doesn't feel big.

There's no hiding from night When you go head to head with you with arrival on, you win the game.

It does feel like yeah, double double hit, really support in terms of them losing three in your skin and three it waas.

It was ah, big result on dhe But at the same time, as you know, I'm going to say, I think the mentality is then the next game in the next game and because we still have a long way to go in the season on.

And we knew that when you think how quickly things can change in football.

So you've always got to prepare yourself for the next challenge, which is always just around the corner.

So again, that's another big thing I would see about this team, um, over the last couple of seasons is the focus.

And the work ethic, even after big wins, is t move under the next game very quickly on Dhe.

Prepare ourselves on the sea and for every team and respect everything that will play against.

I want to speak about the domestic science, that I'll be a hold against Abbott and you can clock you.

Probably just this.

Once you'll try and see what he put in place.

He picks a team that no one's expecting, and it doesn't just make 12 changes.

You know, he makes 56 and I think it was barely last season away the best on the Eastern Home shoot Whoever turns and probably a few rays.

I ground for your talk about the team, but I think you'd probably acknowledges, well, you'll have a moment's ladies get used.

It Norman produces the go to me to beat you know your biggest local rivals financed your home with a completely old eventually sold today, 67 changes within that TV.

Such volumes about belief the manager has in this world but also the ability to squat that maybe people like me and the press and another wounded maybe don't recognize is more.

Yeah, the manager's always really big on the strength of the scores.

It's no, it's not about the 11 that might be playing that deal.

It's the whole squad, and there's a lot of good players that might not even make the times, you know, with different different injuries and different games in the amount of games that we have.

So it is about the horse squad, and when we achieve something like what I have done in the in the last year I saw it is down to everyone you know, not just what people see on a weekend or the match, dear.

There's a lot of hard work that goes on behind the train ground on behind the scenes.

And when we're doing a levee Elevens, for instance, and you might have the team up could be playing on the weekend in the team that's playing against them.

That needs to be the intensity in.

It needs to be high and you need to meet you.

Everybody's or not.

No one's dropping the head because I think that might not be playing our or anything like that.

It's it's the whole, the whole squad, and that is a big strength again of ours, which was managed to use really well.

And then when you make changes, it's it's a lot easier because the intensity is already being their entry in and everybody wants to play.

Everybody's challenging the clear, but also there to support each other when the matter here comes and help each other, whether that from the bench off from the from the pitch on DDE, when again, the manager's Shorty's fears and a lot of young players and different players, um like you see a knocking and making a lot of changes, Boy, in north, please.

We're ready to go because he sees them every day in training.

Well, you don't you speak on that reality with Rafa Benitez and Fuel eight times.

We used to get the team basically an hour before the game, even go back to the heavens.

There's never really with the team in shape of those left people so that guests and I mean you can crop is a manager if you give us an insight into sort of the train and under settled before Ganges that more often than not, Woods you're awake on a TV show called The Days Before.
