00:24 I always want to feel that we are improving
00:49 I'm happy, I'm positive, the team is doing well
01:40 No setbacks for Rodri
01:47 It was a muscular injury against Brentford and we are being more cautious
02:20 When he's ready I will tell you
02:44 Need stronger defence? It's not about the backline, not just about that
03:05 We suffered against Fulham because we forgot our aggression high up the pitch
03:44 Do you know what it is to play without the best player in the world for one year and a half? Do you know what we miss?
04:00 I want him back here now
04:05 Rodri is suffering becuase he wants to come back but we have to protect him
04:31 Rodri is another level of player, he makes the other ten players even if he doesn't touch the ball
05:20 I don't want Rodri to come back and then have another six weeks out
05:56 If he has to play 32 minutes and 46 seconds, I would love to know it
06:28 I heard you were disappointed after the last press conference, you won't complain today
07:12 Rodri mentally? How would you feel if you cannot do your job for 18 months
07:34 I would not be happy if he was not sad
07:56 The season is still in front of us, we have many nightmare things to live
08:25 If you play better you run less
09:14 We have built something unique in this club in terms of success
09:32 You cannot win all the Premier Leagues
09:50 When the opponent is better, shake their hands and improve
10:45 Have to be better step by step
11:04 If Arsenal win I will be the first to congratulate Mikel
11:15 What I want to do is improve
