00:00Adolio, congratulations.
00:02First Champions League game, maximum points.
00:03First win over Diego Simeone as well.
00:06But the tempo at the start of the second half looked particularly good.
00:09What did you say at half-time to build on the fact that you'd gone back into the game
00:14by levelling things up before the break?
00:17Yes, I think today I have to blame myself a little bit for the start of the game.
00:24I think Atletico has used a structure that they haven't used before this season.
00:30And it has cost us a little bit to match properly.
00:32I think until we considered the goal and we've had a couple of minutes,
00:37where we've adjusted things and we matched much better.
00:41And it was the moment where we've started playing better.
00:44Obviously after half-time you have more time, everything was better set.
00:50And second half, I think we were the best team.
00:54I think the team, the players have shown big character.
00:57Big character and also the crowd has helped us massively in the second half.
01:02In this kind of night, you are there doing your job, but you also can enjoy it.
01:08Also, how good a way to go about earning a new contract is that from Alexis McAllister tonight?
01:13Yeah, lovely, lovely goal from Alexis, lovely goal from Dom Soboslai.
01:17I think it's good also that the midfielders can add goals,
01:21because we have midfielders that naturally they are going to arrive to the box.
01:28You know, sometimes we are talking about the structure, keep your position,
01:31but it's inside them, for Ryan Gravenberg from Dom Soboslai, for Alexis McAllister,
01:36and it's good that we can also benefit offensively from those situations where they arrive to the box.
01:43Any concerns over Bradley Barker though? He was hobbled in his left half before he went off.
01:47No, he's cramped. He's just cramped, there's no injury.
01:51With Bradley it's about building his physical condition.
01:54We don't really know, we didn't know until now probably, how much he can play,
02:00because he hasn't had any minutes in precision for PSG, he played 30 the other day.
02:06Today we had some question marks, how many minutes he can give us, and probably now we know.
02:13And I'm very happy, because also he has had two very clear chances against the keeper.
02:17He hasn't scored, but I want him there.
02:21There is where he has to make the difference, arriving to those spots, those positions,
02:26and I'm very happy, because in, I don't know how many minutes he's played,
02:29two times against the keeper is a good sign with Bradley.
02:31And overall, how much do you get?
02:33Congratulations on the victory.
02:36Can you analyse the game, a good first half from Atletico Madrid?
02:41And the second half, you change things around.
02:46How did you see it?
02:48Yes, I think Atletico Madrid surprised us with the way they approached the game.
02:53They did not use that system too much this season, to have five players in the middle,
03:00Coque, Barrios in the middle.
03:03Ballena is also difficult.
03:06If you're not ready for that, the way they pressed us made it difficult.
03:10I think when they scored, I think we got better, because we had two minutes in that break to adjust
03:18things.
03:19And I think beyond that, I think we played really well.
03:22We equalised at the end of the first half, and then we had the 15 minutes at half-time to
03:29organise ourselves better.
03:31I think we got back into the game, and I think we played really well in that second half.
03:56I think he's been very, very good the other day, and he has been, I would say, even better today.
04:03I think he's defending really well his side, but also, sometimes, because he's a centre-back, we underwrite his offensive
04:11side.
04:12Today he gives, I think, a great assist to Dom Soboslai, he's made a couple of very good sets from
04:20his position,
04:21and I'm very happy with him, very happy, I think, he's come now with the willingness to show that he
04:30belongs to this level,
04:31and I hope we can keep him there, because he's in a lovely place.
04:45I don't know, I hope, but I don't know, I don't think.
04:49He doesn't have, like, a proper injury in terms of, but he finished with any girls in both of the
04:54adductors the other day.
04:56We expected him to have him for today, it hasn't been possible.
05:01It's not a big thing, but the problem is we play here in two days and a half, so I
05:07think now is a moment of recover these two days,
05:11see how Bradley has finished, how Cody is, if he can give us some minutes, if not, Rio, Victor, I
05:22think today, everyone has done a big effort,
05:24and we need to recover, and we need to regroup and think, because in two days and a half we
05:32play again here,
05:34Fulham, it's a very important game again for us, so I hope we can have Cody with us, but I
05:41cannot guarantee it.
05:45Hi, Milos Gurkis came off today as well, was that an injury?
05:48No, Milos and Bradley were just cramping, were just tired, and I think I always want to do subs because
05:56of this,
05:57because you've given everything, you don't have any more, perfect, we do the subs, not because you haven't run and
06:02I have to sub you,
06:03so I prefer when you've done everything you can, and then we sub you because you cannot run any much.
06:18I'm curious, how happy are you with the progress the team is making to assimilate your system?
06:24I'm happy today because we've faced a very tough situation, starting the game, considering the first goal,
06:34not having the plan very clear in terms of they've changed some things, so I think we've corrected quite well
06:42life,
06:42and this experience will help us for the next times, you know, we don't have like three years of experience
06:48where you can say,
06:49you remember this one, we do pom-pom, and then you correct things.
06:52No, here now you have to talk with a lot of players, you have to correct, and to get results,
06:57and to go in behind, win the game,
07:02I think it's in four games, three times that we've come back, somehow I think it shows that players are
07:09pushing,
07:09are showing character, and now it's a matter of getting everything cleaner and sharper.
07:22Good evening. Marco Llorente has scored half his goals, half the goals of his life at Anfield.
07:32Can you give us an explanation? There's nothing like this in football.
07:37You'd have to ask Marco Llorente that. I remember the goal where he scored two goals previously.
07:44He's a great footballer. Ultimately, defensively, attacking-wise, he's a great player.
07:51Tagora, great sides. They started on the front foot, and it was difficult for us until we adjusted things.
07:59It always happens. Every footballer has a ground where they score.
08:05And today, let's hope that Marcos doesn't score any more here.
08:09Two years running he's scored, so hopefully he doesn't do it again.
08:13At least it was difficult for us to stop him today.
08:16Thank you.
08:17Thank you.
