“It is always hard to play against Stoke because they play a different kind of football to most teams in the Premier League. They are very physical and have very strong players. It is also difficult because most of the game is in the air. We need to be strong and try to play our game. We are playing at home and we have to believe we can win the three points. It is very important because when you play at home, you have a good chance to win these games. It is a good time for us. We had a very good result last time against Newcastle before the international break so we are confident and it is a good time to start to believe. But we do not set long-term targets - our only target is to always win the game and to finish on top.”


“It is very important to recover because we have hard competition and lots of games, so we need to be ready for the next match. At Carrington they are making a bigger space with more facilities for the players to recover and enjoy. It is nice. It is a bit hard because we are tired after the games and we have to travel and be ready for the next match. It is a bit difficult but as I said, having good facilities to recover is very important and helpful.”
