good afternoon pep I hope you're well um it's Liverpool tomorrow what have you made of how Jurgen klopp has reshaped his team and what challenges do they bring to the etad tomorrow well I think we are all friends we know each other quite well uh of course the time the time goes forward so I've been Juran eight years and N years in Liverpool and of course it's not the same play as and since the start and uh yeah rebuilt a little bit the team the idea is quite similar of course now Alexander ano can play more inside sometimes sometimes outside but the idea is quite similar and always have been our best rivals and the pre sometimes when the season didn't work well with many injur they had uh top club top team and and yeah looking forward for it you've been involved as a player and as a manager in in big games in World football now this game Manchester City versus Liverpool is is it up there with the likes of Barcelona and Real Madrid in your opinion no it's different I think it's different if you compare AR Madrid I think it's different so man city was never was never in the past the last I don't know 20 30 40 years was not you know Contender as Liverpool but yeah the last decade since I think I'm here and they here we have been our best rivals so that is the reality and of course still we are there and that is a big compliment for Liverpool Man City that many many after many many years still we are there uh hi pep um ering Holland missed Norway's game this week is he going to be fit for the game uh he trained yesterday with the Sam nigles but uh yeah today we have the last training hopefully he can he can be part of that this time last week we learned that Everton had been deducted 10 points by the Premier League and amid all the discussion of that people immediately started to talk about Manchester City and the 115 charges um you said the last time you spoke about that that you wanted it deal dealt with immediately it's not been dealt with immediately what are your thoughts on that is it have you has your view changed and do you still believe the club in the same way that you've always done in terms of of answering those charges why should not believe what change time people change their minds it's not the case because it's the judge in the courts and the Premier League uh lawyers and our lawyers to at the end make the our defense both defense in front of the judge and after H go decide is I didn't change one second my opinion about take time wait and see what they're going to decide and after we'll accept the resolution so all of you are journalist and of course I'm not going to say one word about aberton because I don't know the reality really really happen you are journalist maybe you know but that is for sure because I asked to the team that is too completely completely different cases but completely I know with the people like saying okay what city and City why don't go to the conference wait you know wait and after what going to happen is going to happen does it does it bother you that some people have already made their minds up that the club are guilty anyway sorry does it does it bother you that some people have already made their minds up that the Club is guilty anyway well when you read and they should be relegated we should be relegated we should be relegated of course and yeah of course because nobody knows exactly all the people that say that didn't read the statement didn't know exactly what happened so not even myself happened I didn't read all the breaches I didn't read all the our defense so wait what I said when I month ago it's coming here I came here and I said okay if we have something wrong okay we'll be punished so but wait we can defend ourself isn't it we can defend what the people accuse us so we are not agree we are not agree what they say we are going to defend and after when the revolution be done must be done after that I will be here like a spokesman of my club and I want to say what the club uh I relate to the statement have done before but what I want to say the case for Everton but I don't know what happened only I know for my my lawyers for the people in the clubs is completely completely completely different cases so that's why we cannot compare because every case is completely different hi b um just want to ask you about other players and their Fitness their selection obviously you had quite a few players drop out from International GT this week the likes of Edison Matas Nunes Nathan aage just wondering how how's the how's the squad looking basically well we have yeah few problems like I would say many many clubs so we see now training session at the end and we'll see we'll see for tomorrow at 2:30 with players are available can't be easy though when you're coming into such big game not knowing which senior players you have no I will know it at 6 p.m. I will know it for sure so which players we have available for tomorrow so does that mean you're going to have to have a plan a plan B and that kind of thing no always is plan a always right hi pep here behind I'm sorry um about the game tomorrow uh how do you balance the the emotions cuz literally it means three points like any other League match but on the other hand is like you said the best rival the buildup IS different maybe the players will feel different than all the League match how do you balance and take the best out of this two sides no it's not balance it's uh how many players are available tomorrow very fit and the way we have to play what we need or we believe what we need to beat them and with our people and try to yeah to impose our game knowing that how difficult it is always have been home especially way and and and yeah it's it's of course is we have already played 11 or 12 game so honestly I could not expect to be in that position in the beginning of the season so and but you are you are five team four five team so so tight you drop points you can finish four five immediately position but we are there and yeah it's important game I we be Sports next week on or Aston bille away in the midweek so it's non stop now December is so tight we have a lot of competitions we have a World Cup in Saudi Arabia and January is more relaxed so they have to do this month all energy all positive energy that we have uh for the next for this month and you just said that you and yurgen are old friends and know each other very well how has he made you an even better manager absolutely absolutely he made me help to reflect a lot of things the problems that create us and yeah absolutely it's part of the you know of of when you are many many years in this business and you face many times him and his teams not even here in dormund always has been a big big rival and a good game for the both sides both both teams and positive approach to the games no speculate few and and I think always have been attractive attractive games but I'm pretty sure so he made me I said many times he made me better manager through through his teams to reflect oh what can he do to stoop that movements of the other ones and and of course for the way we play for them is is good because the transitions we have a lot of space in behind there are incredible runs with Diaz with with Darwin nun with Salah of course but now with zazi and and graer graen bird so yeah there Fantastic Team fantastic legs so yeah top s side so no doubs J for the ambo please hi pep um did the Everton punishment make you worry about what could come City's way because it was a very big and unprecedented punishment for Everton and would there be a punishment that would be so big that would make you consider your future it's a good question I would answer when I have the sentence when I have the sentence you have the questions like you have been punished you questioning me like we have been punished and in that moment we are innocent and the guilt is proven so I know the people want it I know it I feel it but wait wait and see it and the sentence will be done and after we come here and explain you but absolutely will not considerate my future depends being here or being in League one absolutely not there's more chance to stay if we in League one that uh we win the Champions League when you say the people what do you mean precisely by that it's read the newspapers my friend so just newspapers it's read it or or Rivals as why why Everton has been punished for 10 seduction why man city is De it's two different cases it's not the same it's not the same honestly I spoke with my people said it's completely different about okay and the other one is longer because it's more complicated for 150 Bridges so wait and after when the lawyers and both sides present the cases in front of the judge and dge of the verdict and after I would say in front of you you can ask me the question and I will answer youo for 10 us this evening please
