Press Conference #MCITOT

PEP 💬 Rodri trained quite good today and I think he will be available tomorrow, Fernandinho is out, Ruben came back today and Sergio made his second training session with us. Except Fernandinho, Nathan and Kevin, I think the rest of the first team squad are available.

PEP 💬 It’s nice [15 wins]. In Bayern and Barcelona we also made good runs. It's a consequence of things game by game. Stats are nice but stats don't help win the next one. The next one is Tottenham.

PEP 💬 We did really well. We lost because they were better in many aspects than us in that game [Spurs away]. You see the quality of the players they have and the manager, it’s a strong team. We have to do better tomorrow to beat them.

PEP 💬 Pretty much the same. Means we are working for many, many years, that's good for us. If we face each other many times, it is because we do the job we love. He’s a good contender [Jose].

PEP 💬 The counter attack can be controlled when you play with simplicity. Counter attacks are controlled by eleven players, not just one or two. The quality of Bergwijn, Lucas, Ndombele, Kane, Son. They have strong points.

PEP 💬 Set pieces is another one. We saw against Everton how strong they are with set pieces. They have quality in these situations. That’s why it’s Tottenham. They are always fighting for Premier League and Champions League positions.

PEP 💬 We're not unbeatable. The 15 games in a row winning didn't help us start 2-0 up. I said many times, it’s nice, it's good and it helped us be where we are in Carabao Cup, FA cup, Champions League and Premier League. 15 wins helped us be where we are - but no more than that.

PEP 💬 We have to start again tomorrow. This is the target. We try to recover, see who they are, what they have done when we played there and we need to know what to do to play better and to beat them. That's my only concern in the three days since Swansea.

PEP 💬 Of course Phil learned from David. But Phil has specific things that still cannot be like David, but he has other things that are special too. Phil can play as a winger, both sides and in the middle too.

PEP 💬 Well deserved [Gundogan POTM], happy for him. First time, lots of goals, minutes and good actions. More than well deserved.

PEP 💬 I would not say one day, maybe we realise we needed to change, players realise they have to do more and start to win games and the second, third one started giving us confidence [to go on a winning run].

PEP 💬 The best holding midfielders don't appear in the newspapers or front pages. They hide behind the team but when the team plays good it is because they are outstanding.

PEP 💬 He [Rodri] adapted quick. He adapted immediately. He is still young. There are some issues he still has to learn and he will learn it. But he is a really important player for us.
