00:00To make this a better team, we understand you still want two wide attacking options.
00:04How confident are you doing that before the deadline?
00:08And how much of a problem is it that you've not been able to do that already?
00:12As a manager, this is an easy one for me.
00:15I wanted the players for the first day, 13th of July.
00:17Everyone here, all the positions doubled, top-level players, you know.
00:22But you understand how the competition works,
00:25that the market is open and you start the competition.
00:30We have to adapt as coaches to these situations.
00:33I hate these two weeks or these ten days that we have,
00:37because there is a lot of uncertainty.
00:39But not in Liverpool, not everywhere.
00:41Everywhere, because once the market is open.
00:44But we have to adapt.
00:46Honestly, I don't spend too much time thinking on these things.
00:48I know that you will ask me a lot of questions about the market and this.
00:52But I'm focused on the game against Newcastle.
00:54That is massive for me.
00:57Using the very good players that we have right now in the building in the best way,
01:03so we can be competitive from the beginning.
01:05I think I know what will happen when I throw a couple of names at you.
01:08But Barclilla, Minta, how likely are they to be the players that are brought in?
01:12But also, how important is it to bring in a replacement for Curtis Jones?
01:15Yes, you know what I'm going to tell you.
01:18We cannot speak about players that are not ours.
01:21I understand the questions.
01:24With Curtis, you know.
01:26I think it's not still official, but there is an ongoing situation.
01:32I understood with Curtis.
01:34I talked to him in the first or second training.
01:37We talked and I value him a lot as a player.
01:41He loves this club.
01:43It was very clear since the beginning for me.
01:46But I understood that probably the outcome was going to be what it has been at the end.
01:53And in terms of what we need, you know, there are certain situations that for me are clear,
01:59that are especially now on the wing because we don't have enough players like specific to play in those positions.
02:07And then after in other positions, I think we have to be open and open-minded in the market
02:13to see situations that honestly can improve our team.
02:18It's not about signing because we need a player here.
02:21No, it's about improving the squad and we have very good players already here.
02:25So to improve our very good players, you need like specific level players, yes.
