00:00Phone over for questions here on the right-hand side.
00:04How are you, Diego?
00:08We get the feeling that in the second halves, it happened in Bilbao, not as much so in Sevilla.
00:15We have a feeling that the team don't manage to carry through the good that they've done in the first
00:21half.
00:22Do you say that that's because the physical condition of the team isn't what it was last year?
00:28Or is it the fact that they find it difficult to maintain what they do in the first half?
00:33I think it's normal that you don't do the same in the second half.
00:37That would mean that we're not physically in the right condition.
00:40In the first half, we played well.
00:42In the second half, we didn't.
00:44And then you start to commit errors or mistakes in the second half.
00:48And all the effort that you put in is just an anecdote.
00:52It happened in Bilbao.
00:56It's happened here in Anfield.
00:57But to be honest, what's important, what counts are the results.
01:02The details are important as well.
01:04We're conceding many goals, of course.
01:08Three in Bilbao, one in Sevilla, two tonight.
01:12And that happens because of the team.
01:14We have to work on it.
01:16We have to work a great deal.
01:18I've said that we're in a construction phase.
01:20People don't like to hear that.
01:22But we are building.
01:24And we still need to correct various things.
01:31Within that transition, Julian Alvarez, the version that you saw today, is that the version you're going to see from
01:41two years ago?
01:42And Kuti Romero came in.
01:46He looked like he was in form tonight, Kuti.
01:49I really like Kuti's game today.
01:51He was strong.
01:53He showed responsibility.
01:55He showed the ability to be able to correct individual situations.
01:59I think Julian was fantastic.
02:03He wanted the ball all the time, from minute one to minute 90.
02:06And that makes me very happy.
02:12You spoke about the team being in a construction phase.
02:15Today, from a sporting sense, you played with three centre-backs.
02:22But in the second half, you changed things around.
02:25Do you think that that change was good?
02:28Or did you not like what you saw in the first half?
02:31Or was it because of the score line?
02:35What made you change?
02:37Because it seemed to be working very well in the first half.
02:42I think when the changes came in, when we went down, we looked for different solutions that allowed us to
02:50get back into the game.
02:52Because we didn't have many chances in the first half.
02:54Maybe we had one.
02:57I can't quite remember exactly now.
03:00I don't know if we had many chances in the second half.
03:03But I have no doubt that the details in football are what makes you up there in the middle or
03:11right down there.
03:11And we needed or we need to adjust certain things because lots of the goals we can cede are on
03:20us.
03:20They are our responsibility.
03:24Yesterday, you said that we wouldn't see Julian Alvarez from the start.
03:28What made you change your mind?
03:31I spoke to him in the morning.
03:33He spoke very well with me.
03:35And fortunately, I decided that he should play.
03:38And I'm glad I did because that's the kind of game that I want to see.
03:41The kind of performance I want to see from him.
03:47I think your team looked very strong in the first half, especially how you moved the ball around.
03:53Do you think that you've already made a step forward in that regard?
04:01Well, I think the team played the type of game they needed to play.
04:10We have to start understanding, interpreting certain moments in the game where you have to continue to play in one
04:17way or change it slightly.
04:19Today, we didn't do that.
04:20I think that's why we ended up conceding the goals that we conceded.
04:24But I think the team gave everything.
04:28It's a really important game.
04:32I think the team wants to grow.
04:35And I think we have to accept those small details that are making it not worthwhile everything that we've done.
04:44Because a defeat completely wipes out any positives that you have from the game.
