"I'm not focused on that, I'm focused on one thing - let's see if we can beat Villarreal tomorrow. That's most important. After that, we play Brighton - one game at a time."

"Of course, it's a fantastic opportunity and experience tomorrow. In many ways, as you say, we played at Brentford in the Championship at Griffin Park, a small, compact stadium, tomorrow we're playing in one of the best stadiums in the world, maybe the best, in front of our fantastic fans, a European night, you know they will be absolutely on it, so special, so really looking forward to the first two minutes and the Champions League anthem, then it's focus on the game."
Do you have any early memories of the European Cup or Champions League?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------
"Of course, I remember 1992, Barcelona against Sampdoria, Michael Laudrup played and Ronald Koeman scored a fantastic free-kick. There have been some stand-out games - we all remember the 1999 Man United treble, the crazy win against Bayern Munich, the Liverpool-Milan 3-3, so many memories, so many big games."
On team news... how close is Dominic Solanke? We didn't see him out there (training). Also, Randal Kolo Muani, how long could he play if you needed him?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Dom is taking steps in the right direction, that's positive, but he's not ready to be involved tomorrow. Randal is ready. How many minutes? You know, they can always play more minutes than we think. If we needed him to play, he could play 90 minutes, but it's getting him to play at the intensity and level we want. He's ready and he's involved tomorrow and that's the main thing."
We've seen quite a few tactical plans for specific opponents this season - how do you do that when there is such a reduced turn around between games, sometimes only 24 hours to prepare?
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"That's a good question! The main thing is way have guiding principles in how we want to defend, for example. It's relatively clear to everyone that we want to go with high pressure, that's no secret, but that may need to be tweaked depending on the opponent, a small adjustment there, the middle pressure, low pressure, but we have guiding principles that hopefully helps the players. Then, it's the same with the offensive side of the game, how we want to break through, how we want to build up, depending on the opponent, they may press in different ways, then we may have to tweak it a little if we end up in a 4-1, 4-2, what solutions we try to find. Then, we try to get that across to the players with videos, 11 vs 11, different ways to do it. I'm a big believer in can we get the right details across in the right amount (of time) because I don't believe in being out there two hours, or having a meeting for one hour, so it's how can we get that balance? Then, they are top players, so we give them guidelines, they make the decisions on the pitch - they are very good at that."
