He is pleased with their recent form: “The main thing for us is the unit, the group and the group is reacting very, very well to all the circumstances that the Premier League is showing.”
-
He added: “They have been very, very good, and let’s hope that tomorrow we can perform again, we can be that focused, a team that shows our organisation, and wait for the quality and inspiration of some of our players – it’s always needed in a football match to be there in the top level.”

He said that 2025 has been “incredible” for the club and it proves that they are “always looking for me” improvement and success.

On Crystal Palace, who are winless since beating Fulham at Craven Cottage at the start of December: “Football is so, so tight, it’s so demanding, and I don’t know the reason [for Palace’s form], I don’t know, and it’s not important for me to talk about it. Of course, we know that we are going to face a very good side and a very, very physical side.”
