00:00In terms of Fulham, you probably remember the game in December
00:03where they came and gave you a real good goal.
00:06What memories do you have of that game in particular,
00:08as to how difficult a side they had to face?
00:11The memory I have of that game is that they should have had a red card in the first half as well.
00:17But they didn't get it, and that did cost us points.
00:23But the main memory I have about that game
00:27was that we played incredible with 10 men.
00:32And if we can have the same effort and intensity with 11,
00:39we give ourselves a chance to win the game against Fulham.
00:44But I also remember the first 10 or 15 minutes that Fulham started off really well,
00:49when it was still 11 v 11.
00:51So they're a good team, they have definitely more than a few frets.
00:57That's the both I remember. It was a great game of football where in the last few minutes
01:03we got a few very good chances, I think Virgil was one of them,
01:07that could have scored the winner.
01:10Was it also the game that Jota scored the same goal as he did yesterday?
01:13Yeah. So, many memories about that game.
01:18And in terms of your approach, you talk about not thinking too much about the title being so close.
01:26Is it just having to take that usual mentality of one game at a time,
01:30forget everything else, just concentrate on one game?
01:34Yeah, because I said so many times, apart from we've played 30 games now,
01:39maybe there were three or four games where the score was so clear
01:43that in the last 20 minutes it wasn't a problem anymore.
01:47Almost all of our other games have been really tight.
01:51So that probably tells you as well how big of an accomplishment it is
01:55that we are 12 points clear at the moment and that we are doing so well,
01:59but because it doesn't come from itself, it's not like the team that won the league
02:06in the last four times, where so many times 20 minutes before the end
02:10or at half-time we were already 3-0 or 4-0 up.
02:13That's not our season.
02:16That's why I have to give so much credit to our players,
02:20because if you every time have to fight with a one-goal lead or you are one goal down,
02:26it's probably even harder than being 3-0 or 4-0 up at half-time.
