00:06Hi Xabi, how proud are you of getting the first clean sheet but how concerned are you
00:10about Emiliano Martinez as well? Well first about Emi, what we know is that he left the
00:17stadium conscious and right now he's in the in the hospital doing a precautionary tests
00:24so we need to to wait and for sure hopefully he will be it won't be too bad we need
00:30but we need to
00:31wait at the moment and yeah really pleased with the with the performance with the win with the
00:38clean sheet many positives to build from the front today it was we knew that it was gonna be a
00:43hard
00:45challenge to win in this stadium but we did many many things to deserve the win I think that we
00:51got
00:52many things right going through very plain very professional very solid and it's good to have
01:00this feeling to win this way do you know if it's concussion with Martinez or is it something else
01:04potentially it was the concussion but more than that I saw just one one clip and we need to wait
01:13now and what about Mike how did he get on today he did well you could see what's about Mike
01:19his
01:19personality he's brave and we have full trust with with him he played in the cup games and whenever
01:28he's needed like the other players whenever they are needed they can perform like Jor-El he did really
01:34well today as well coming in the the first game after the the little problem with with Pep so this
01:41is all about the squad that all the players they are they feel important that they will have their
01:46moment whenever they are needed and and that's that's very positive as well can I just check what
01:54the injury is with Pep and is Malo got an injury as well yeah Malo was ill yesterday and he
02:00was not
02:00feeling well to to come here to Liverpool and Pep last action in the training he felt something so
02:08tomorrow he's having the the test to to have the full information about the injuries so but he was not
02:15feeling well enough to to compete for today and just on Pedro Neto how has he taken to being a
02:22wing
02:22back is he surprised you the way he's embraced but do you think he's a he's a wing back what
02:26you
02:27tell me is it more of a winger or you're using him as a right you can call him whatever
02:31winger
02:33wing back attacking position defending he can do many things so today he's done he's done well he's so
02:41competitive he's when when he's close to the actions and he's he's a threat against any any other
02:49fullback when he's on the last line or in between he connects well with with the players around with
02:56Joao with Cole today with Josh as well they work really well but I'm happy with that that he could
03:02score but I'm gonna say today at a call Joao Morgan they didn't score but for me they played a
03:10fantastic game
03:11they work really hard they were helping the team Morgan on the wing Cole and Joao in the middle so
03:19we need a lot from that to win as a team and many positives
03:25in previous seasons Chelsea have come here and been sort of bullied a little bit physically
03:33intimidated by Everton at Goodison and here last season did you like the spirit the team showed
03:41absolutely because we will have many of many of these ones and we needed to feel that we could win
03:46in
03:47this way looking solid playing solid being being strong looking in control going through difficult moments first half
03:54there were moments when there were throwings corners corners throwings and you need to go through overcome
04:01these those moments and knowing that it's it's it's it's very hard in primarily to have full control of the
04:08game during the
04:09half minutes but you don't lose your shape you don't lose your your conviction of what the things you are
04:15doing and today we did that
04:16really well we have we have spoken at halftime the first one the first goal was gonna be key to
04:23go either one way or the other
04:25it went our way because but I think that because we deserved I think that we did very very well
04:30good game
04:33I think during talks with the club when you were discussing taking over you were talking about building mentality monsters
04:42is that what we saw today is that the sort of the the the the blueprint for what you're looking
04:48for
04:48it's one day let's let's let's let's yeah we need to repeat and repeat and again and again and again
04:53to to know
04:54but for sure there were the mentality was very good because we knew that it was not about playing nice
05:02sometimes it's not just to play nice it's to play good and to play we played good football
05:07we won many many doubles many second balls we we knew how to be efficient in different situations so
05:15that's that's I think that's something that we will beat from from the future we'll build a lot of
05:22things from from today's game we needed one of these with the clean sheet with the with the win
05:27after the defeat in in Brent for the feeling was not that it was not enough and today has been
05:36better
05:36and in psychologically sort of touching it there getting that clean sheet that that drought without
05:42clean sheet do you think that's that's key for the squad to believe it's just one it will be key
05:47when
05:48we are able to to manage 10 clean sheets so first one feels good first one feels good and it
05:54was needed
05:56but now the goal is to to be consistent and to keep doing keep doing that
06:05hi jabby i yankee with samate from b comms um we've seen the team go a lot uh go very
06:10direct a lot
06:11um over the course of the season to morgan rogers and gel pedro specifically when they were signed was
06:17that the plan in mind to play more direct football or is this adapting to your position it's adapting
06:21to the context today we knew that everton sometimes can come one be one sometimes they can have plus
06:26one so you need to to choose to choose a how to how to be more efficient on your game
06:33and we know that
06:34is they are strong enough joe and and and morgan to hold the duels the first goal the way morgan
06:44has
06:44hold the ball and he he dribbled on the from the left wing uh to to to make the pass
06:51to to jor-el
06:52you see that he's solid he's complete he's he's strong and and we need to use that to use that
06:57that
06:58power to to be able to play some more direct sometimes um and also we saw today you made your
07:04first substitution your first outfield substitution in the 90th minute is the plan to let the players play
07:09and see how it missed the game well it's 90th minute but there were 11 minutes because of so you
07:15you can see it was the 20 79th minute you know it depends on the context so it's not a
07:22plan it's you
07:23you prepare a few things but you need to adapt to the circumstances the team was looking good it was
07:28in
07:28good shape and i felt that the substitute place there were going to be needed but uh in the in
07:35the right
07:35moment and and moly is his second game he was a bit tired and romeo he played really well those
07:45moments
07:45he's in a good moment so yeah today things things were went our way right thank you thank you
