00:09I'm really happy for Bradley because, as you say, you know, you were asking me yesterday about him making the
00:16numbers, also Florian, and I think both of them today played really, really well. I think they made a difference.
00:22Bradley, apart from the hat-trick, I think he was a threat, always 1v1, threatening him behind, and also helped
00:29us a lot to control the game, finding the pockets, and I'm happy for both of them, yes.
00:36And what difference can it make to both players?
00:38I think for their confidence, for sure, it's very good. I think we feel that we trust them a lot,
00:44but at the end to enjoy a little bit, you know, in playing in the Champions League, away, I think
00:50it's...
00:51It's going to be very good, very good for them, yes.
00:54And overall, you made a number of changes to your team. You must be happy with the way they responded.
00:59Certainly somebody like Trey and Yoni in midfield making his first start in the Champions League.
01:03Yes, as I said before, I think Trey, Kumas, maybe Rio has already played more, has even played with the
01:12national team, but still academy players, very young for the two, I think it's the first start in the Champions
01:19League.
01:21And they are first team players for us, and they are first team players because we trust them, and we
01:26think they can give us the level to help during the season, and I'm very happy for their performances.
01:31Even Kumas, because he has scored two disallowed goals before, and you were thinking, okay, after the hard work has
01:37put a good game, and probably he doesn't score, but I was really pleased for him to score the goal,
01:42celebrate with the supporters, enjoy a little bit, you know, your first Champions League goal, and happy for all of
01:49them, yes.
01:51Obviously, they scored a couple at the end, but in terms of the attacking performance, how close is that to
01:56what you want, 26 shots, I think, 3.5 xG nearly?
02:00Yes, I think we attacked really well, especially first half, I think in a very compact block, it's not easy,
02:08you know, when they play a back five, a lot of spaces in between, I think we found very good
02:14spaces in the pockets, spaces in behind, with the three players up front, and obviously second half probably was more
02:23about exploiting the spaces, but I think offensively has been a very complete game, yes.
02:30And then what's your message to Bradley now, I think that's his first hat-trick, is it very much a
02:34case of more of the same?
02:36Yeah, obviously, I think he has to enjoy this, because to score a hat-trick in the Champions League is
02:42always very difficult, you know, I think he looked, even yesterday training, I could feel, you know, he was very
02:50lively, very, sometimes you feel these things, you know, and you never know how he's going to play next day,
02:56but it wasn't like a big surprise,
02:58Yes, because we were feeling, you know, he was in a good place before the game.
03:08Did the goals at the end annoy you? Or did you just take it as it was 6-1 at
03:13the time?
03:14I think there is a reason why Manajas will never change both centre-backs together, you know, because it's difficult
03:22to change both centre-backs, a new pair comes straight away, but obviously winning 4-0, I have to start
03:28thinking in the next game, we play in less than three days against Brentford away,
03:33so I think Ronald, Jeremy were players that have been really demanded lately, have played a lot of games with
03:40us, with the national teams, and I thought, you know, it was the right moment to give them this rest,
03:45but obviously thinking in today's game is not the right thing to do as a manager to change both centre
03:50-backs together.
03:51And do you think with the changes that you made and the in-game changes, you'll be able to handle
03:56that schedule of Wednesday, sorry, yeah, Wednesday, Saturday, better than you did in the Atletico-Fulham game?
04:04At the end, these are different games, you know, you have different demands for each game, and you have to
04:09try to analyse what players, not just you can rest,
04:13it's what players can perform well against LASK today, and they can help us to win the game, what players
04:20they can help us against Brentford,
04:22but after Brentford we'll play in three days against Villarreal, another very, very difficult Champions League game,
04:27and we will need more than 11, more than 12, more than 13, no, that's why I'm very happy, because
04:33I'm, especially the young players,
04:36with less experience, can give us good performances and also add some experience, no, it's not easy to come here
04:42now, because we've won,
04:44we've scored six goals, looks easy, but here, if they start scoring first, and they, with this atmosphere, and these
04:52games are not easy,
04:53and I think for Trey, for Kumas, for, to add this experience, it's good, because then we can trust them
04:59to play more, more games,
05:01and to help other players that probably are having more minutes.
05:05This one here.
05:09Hi, Mr. Riola. I'm not sure if you're aware of this, but this was LASK's first Champions League home game
05:15ever in the history.
05:16Did you think, did you find their stadium, their atmosphere to be Champions League worthy?
05:21I've loved the stadium. I loved it even yesterday, when we arrived to train, because it feels like quite, quite
05:28vertical.
05:28You can feel the, the, the supporters today, I think, even when they were losing heavily, I think they were
05:37continuing supporting,
05:38and I think creating good atmosphere, also our supporters have been, at a very, very, very high level,
05:45they've supported us, and I think has been a, a great Champions League experience for, for us, and also from
05:52the last side,
05:53they've shown character, no, it's not easy when you are losing like this, to show this, this determination,
05:58it's a team that, they run a lot, very physical, they don't stop, and, and also, I think it's remarkable,
06:06no,
06:06the, the second half they've done, because it's not easy.
