00:00What would you make of Newcastle at the moment when you're winning?
00:02You indicated before the guard, as Samuel alluded to, you might have to rotate.
00:06Are you going to have to prioritise next Thursday for the games?
00:10Yeah, to sometimes win, winning games is the best way of preparing the next one.
00:15Of course, I'm going to be careful with some players, but again, we need to be competitive.
00:21And when you are playing for Manchester United, you go to thinking in the next one.
00:26So we are going to face this one, and then we'll have three days.
00:29We are going to prepare the game more in the way without a lot of run, a lot of training.
00:35It's just recovering, and then we will be fine on Thursday with our fans.
00:40But we need to face Newcastle in a way that we can win the game.
00:45What do you make of Newcastle and the threats that they pose in particular?
00:48Everything. They have top players, really good on set pieces, the physicality,
00:54the way they run and recover when they are beaten in the first pressure.
00:57So they are a team that play together for a while.
01:02So they won a title that was really emotional for everybody.
01:06You can see it during that week.
01:09But again, we have to think in our team the way we want to play these kind of games.
01:15And we are being more consistent in the way we play the games.
01:19So we'll try to do the same on Saturday.
