Every game we win helps the next one. We cannot forget the reality, of what happened against (Manchester) United and (Aston) Villa in the past. Football is emotion, in the moment. If we can win at home, we have to do it."

"As a manager, I feel part of something. I never think it belongs to me - I'm part of it. without the incredible work from the sporting director, board... the players are the most important thing."
