“The group starts by winning he Capital One cup and the Premier League but we know in the country we are it’s very difficult, and every other team is a normal candidate and will come even stronger than this season, so it’s not a country to be a force to dominate football.

To be top of the league since day one, to lose two matches all season, to be unbeatable at home, to have a fantastic record away, to have less goals conceded, to be just one goal behind the team with the most goals scored, i think is really fantastic for this group.”
