You cannot work on everything.

You've got three days to prepare a game.

So everything becomes very specific on what can you help the player to perform.

And you need to be very... It's clarity.

International football is about clarity.

Yeah, but you know, Gary, I love that challenge.

And the first season, we got the biggest amount of points in the history of the Premier League of Everton, 72 points, that any other season would give us Champions League football.

I loved the challenge, and I think the players loved the challenge of...

It becomes a real test of character because you're talking about centre-halves going from 50 passes a game to 110 passes a game.

You're talking about the goalkeeper to help allowing the pressure of the opposition and playing through it.

We became really, really strong.

What I regret when I look back is I didn't manage the expectations.

So from the first season going to 72 points, the next season in Europe, we were the, at that time, not many people remember, but in 2015, the British clubs or the Premier League clubs were finding it very difficult to play in Europe because the physicality of the Premier League was taken a lot about, and Everton was the latest team in the European competition.

But as well, I think we were talking about good owners, Bill Kenwright, that he was an incredible support.

He got a bit ill at the end and I think we lost a little bit that capacity of surviving defeat or being able to... But no, the answer is I love the reaction of the fans because, you know, the fans want the team to win.
