-TIMESTAMPS-
00:00 - Intro.
00:14 - Naming line up a day early - I will do that one day. Mourinho's been in the game 25 years, it will happen at some point.
00:44 - Guarded on team news: yes. Sometimes because I don't know the lineups.
01:02 - Try it: Yes, I will encourage the other managers in the league to do it.
01:34 - Calafiori: attacking phase it's something we want. He can smell danger. He does it in a natural way.
02:15 - Attacking role: He's probably never done it before. He has the ability to do it. Things happen naturally, he's comfortable stepping in the opposition box.
03:01 - Depth of pressing less: certain managers had certain players who could do it. Let's see tomorrow what approach Villa have.
03:49 - Ecuadorein twins: there is certainly something possible. Recruiting the best talents. We saw it as a good opportunity. Very positive.
04:20 - When did you see a potential for this? A lot of people have been doing it. It's been emerging the last couple of years and we need to start somewhere.
04:53 - Young players away from academy: First intention you to develop your own talent but you can't close the door.
05:26 - Relying on depth: we've used that and the squad's versatility. To navigate how we have says a lot about the character.
06:03 - Roy Keane's comments: we know the reality that we play every three days against quality opposition. Just try to be as good as we can.
06:40 - Villa game an example? I agree. It's the level and schedule each team has.
