5On the FA Cup
Its a new competition we are going to start. In our history its very important for us, Arsenal have won it more – 13 times.We start at Blackpool, we know them because we played against them [Octobers 2-1 Carabao Cup win]. We have respect for them and have respect for the competition. Its a title we want.I know its very important for every English team. Its a different competition, with a chance for a lot of teams.The first idea when I arrived here was to play for all the titles. Arsenal is in the history the best team in this competition, played 20 finals, won 13 times. This respect for our supporters and the competition I took quickly. I want to do something important and this is a big opportunity for us.
5On facing Blackpool
I know its 90km from Liverpool and I know theyve played in the Premier League.When we played here against them in the Carabao Cup, we knew this history of this club. They arent in the best moment for that. But here against us at the Emirates they played very competitively and gave us a lot of difficult moments.I have a big respect for each team and I know they are one team now not in the best moment but the respect is there because its a very big opportunity for them to play against us.
5On team news for this weekend
Today [Konstantinos] Mavropanos stated to train with us today after five months, also [Emile] Smith Rowe. [Hector] Bellerin, [Nacho] Monreal, [Henrikh] Mkhitaryan are working alone. Mesut [Ozil] did not train this morning.We trained this morning and tomorrow we do the last training. We need to know tomorrow how we can be with the players. I want to take a team that is competitive. Maybe we can share with some players who are playing less, or some young players. But thinking above all about a big performance with our players. This is our idea.On tonights Man City vs Liverpool match
At the moment they are the two best teams in the Premier League, also with Tottenham in this moment.Its a very big match for all the supporters of football. I am going to watch it like a football supporter, to learn and to take more information on the two teams, tactically and individually. I think its a great match in football.We arent in the top four and we have three points difference to Chelsea. Liverpool and Manchester City, they are far [in front], Tottenham maybe also, but we need the motivation to do one way, to get closer. The difference [in points] between Liverpool and us is big.
5On transfer rumours about Real Madrid goalkeeper Keylor Navas
Not true. We never speak about one goalkeeper because we are very happy with the three goalkeepers we have now. We never speak about Keylor Navas.On Aaron Ramsey’s future
I dont know. I want his focus every day with us on training and thinking for the next match, which is against Blackpool.I am looking at him and hes very concentrated with us now. On Tuesday, he scored when he played 15 minutes, and he gave a good performance. I want that from him, and also he needs to [look] at his future. But I want him in the present with us.At the end of the season is the moment he can go to one team or another team.On Mesut Ozil’s future
