[0:01]Morning, Pep. Um, the next Premier League challenge is Everton. A new stadium for you to go to. Tell me your thoughts on what David Moyes has done since he's returned there. David Moyes since uh, since was born, have been uh, really good everywhere and still have the passion at his age, you know, to training is really nice and of course it's maybe the last moment we have a good results but still fighting for European competitions and they're looking for a new stadium and uh, and ready for our, yeah, another final. Does it matter that Arsenal will have played two more Premier League games before you play or is it just a case of concentrating on what you have to do? Always you ask me the same question. It's normal, so it's a calendar, so sometimes you play first, sometimes behind, our is what it is. So, there's nothing changed in these stages, so you know exactly what you have to do. And finally from me, I wanted to mention John Stones, who's obviously got a history with Everton, a big history here. Can you just sum up his contribution to this football club and what he means to you as a player and a person and what he's achieved here? Well, one of the first times, I remember flying to London to meet him in my brother's house and um, for the first time was young, you see his face as in that moment, now he's became a, yeah, there are few, few players that I cannot understand what happened in this period together. He's one of them, so he was the best player by far in the final in Istanbul. That means uh, his personality, uh, now he feels, he feels fit, uh, hopefully he can fight physically the rhythm to to be to be to be ready. And uh, like Bernardo has said, part of, you know, for ourselves, not just me, ourselves, is, is living, so, contribution have been massive, so it's incredible personal on and off the pitch, uh, as a football player, so, yeah, I'm really pleased. I'm so incredible. I said Bernardo grateful to live this many, many years here with uh, with a person like, like John. Hi, Pep. Uh, paths has been confirmed for the rest of the season. You've got the the fixtures have been confirmed for the rest of the season. Three games in seven days or four in 11, whichever way you look at it. I know you'll say it's something you have to deal with, but what are your feelings on how the fixtures have been set out? It is what it is. I prefer even play Champions League semi-final, so, it is what it is. We win the travel and quadruple, always we had this type of calendar. Of course could be better, but I never expect from long time ago, something, so, is what it is. We adapt, go to, to play game by game. You say you don't expect any sort of help. Is that what you Is what it is. So, the calendar, the broadcasters, the Premier League or whatever, who decide, decide that game, we'll be there with 11 players, plus people in the bench. Just as an example, PSG this season requested a postponement for one of their games. That was accepted by Liga. And in Portugal happen in other countries, but here is what it is, so. I said the same, is what it is. You have to adapt. You don't like go to training in France or go to training in Portugal. So, I like to be here and uh, and I said many, many times, when I was in Barcelona and I see all the managers here complaining about the schedule, I will not be the I did in the past. So, it's what it is, so I never, never expect differently. So, they decide to play in Tuesday, Saturday, Wednesday, Thursday, Friday, we'll play. Hi Pep. Just check on Rodri, how, how is he recovering? He's getting better. Still didn't train with us, so we'll see next days. So, it's a couple of days before the game. Are you confident he'll, he'll be okay? Always I'm confident. And Ruben Diaz, how is he? He's not yet with the team, but he's getting better. Him, Josko and Rodri is better. Hi, Pep. Um, it was nice to see you at Stockport, uh, in midweek. Uh, why now to choose to go and watch uh Stockport? No, because the day before I saw the calendar, the game PSG, Bayern Munich, I said, what a disaster game, so. Managers are not good, Luis Vinnie, so, really, really shit, shit player, so. I decide to go to I'm in love with English football and I, I went to see Stockport. Um, what about this weekend? Any plans to go and watch any of the other EFL games this weekend? The final day of the season? Sorry? Any plans to go and watch any other EFL games on the final day of the season? Next season my old team, Bayern Munich playing at Allianz Arena will be in front of the sofa. Yeah. In terms of being on the sofa, excuse me. Obviously Arsenal play. Will you be watching that game on Saturday night? Do you watch their games when you're not playing? Our team play. Uh, 5:30 on Saturday. 5:30. After training session. Yeah, maybe I'll watch him, some, yeah.
[5:16]Hi, Pep. Uh, you, you didn't watch the PSG and Bayern games, but I imagine you watched the highlights. No, I watched the game right after when I arrived at home after Stockport-Port Vale. I was of one and I watched the game knowing the result. After that incredible game, some people say that's football. That's what football is about. Others would say, where are the defenses? Why, why so many goals? Why so many chances? That's nice, football is all about. You and me are not the same. I'm more handsome than you, so. So, it's not the same. Football is, and everybody is nice, so. It was a good game and the day after in different styles, it was a good game Atletico Madrid-Arsenal, so. It's, of course, when you score our game semi-final, nine goals, stop, it's fantastic, so. So, but different ways and that's why football has to be accepted and everything. Because as much you do something that your players follow you and uh, everybody is commit with the idea, everything fine. Because at the end the difference we get out the systems is, of course is interesting because in both teams is man marking, incredible high pressing. Man marking, I see left back playing as a right winger following one player and the other one. And when that happened with the quality they have, one player dribble one player, can go alone. So, it's not helped because it's man marking but they are incredibly intense, aggressive and a player's ability that have one against one and make actions, normally one against one and actions are 45, 50 meters back and forth, back and forth during 90 minutes. But it's extraordinary to watch, you know. And other teams they said no, no, I prefer more zonal, I prefer to, you know, to be more control and everything is nice. I think both semi-finals were in different styles of course, but really, really good. You would be even better with a mustache, just so you know. Sorry? You would be even better with a mustache. Summer time, summer time. Pep, you've, you've talked about the calendar, this is from the other point of view, you, you've had a bit of time off or, you know, between matches, which is unusual.
[7:25]You can sometimes maybe make that to your advantage but I'm wondering personally, how do you deal with that at this time of the season, do you get irritable with more time? But it's nice. On the moment played Tuesday and Wednesday, I said, I would like to be there, no, in Champions League, but life you never can get or never can enjoy everything. So, the rest, yeah, enjoy, day off, uh, prepare the games. See Brentford against uh Old Trafford for example, because we'll be the next opponent and how impressed I was, even they lost, they was play really good. In Old Trafford, so I think Brentford has done incredible season. Yeah, doing this, play golf for a little bit, with this beautiful weather today finish, so, yeah, good. So and you don't necessarily make the players work harder in that time you try and make use of a little bit of breathing space perhaps? Day off, day off. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Okay. And just on Everton, you've already alluded to it that they're pushing for Europe still, so of course there's a carrot there for them. How difficult an opponent do you see them? It's always have been. It will be weird because uh, you know, old Everton stadium was so, so cool, so nice, so British. Uh, I love to, to go there but, yeah, looking forward to the new stadium and they defend really well. David Moyes knows exactly what to do. He said pieces with Tarkowski and so, always have been tough. So the game we played here, we won because we win two or three actions but we were not in the moment, we were not good. I think we are better in that moment and hopefully we can, we can use it. We know we are playing for, so we don't have any result that win, win, win.
