""I have played 10 seasons here and I've played many times with Carabao, FA Cups. "Teams from lower divisions we have always taken seriously otherwise we wouldn't have had the success we have had in the past so we prepare the same way. Incredible focus, sometimes even more. We have a responsibility to make the players know it's important.""
""The keeper is a special situation because the keepers play normally one and the second one doesn't play. All I can say is that we are delighted [with him]," said Guardiola of the former Burnley stopper. "His behaviour in training [is great]. They all have to be ready in case we need them in the Premier League and Champions League and of course we have an incredible keeper.""
