00:05Good evening.
00:07Good evening.
00:15Congratulations, Roberto.
00:17Start off with the positives.
00:18First win in the Premier League this season.
00:21Madison back and scoring.
00:22Kuruševski back as well.
00:23Good night on that kind of regard.
00:25Yes, very happy for the result, very happy for Madison,
00:29very happy for Deki, Kuruševski.
00:37I think we played much better other games.
00:42Old Trafford, Aston Villa especially in the first half,
00:46Everton especially in the first half,
00:48Liverpool in Carabao.
00:51But we didn't play so well for our responsibility.
00:57But for their credit, for the Coventry credit,
01:01because playing against one team who defend like so close,
01:09like so compact with love block,
01:12it's always very, very tough game.
01:17Especially in the first half, we didn't move the ball so fast.
01:22I think we have been too predictable.
01:26But I knew before the game.
01:28We played three at the back.
01:30I want to explain why.
01:32Because for the injuries players in the midfield position,
01:37Conor Gallagher came back two days ago.
01:42And at the beginning of the week,
01:44the medical staff told me maybe could be not available to play.
01:53Bergvall was injured.
01:54Mateus Fernandes worked just the last two days for his son.
02:03And I thought three at the back was the best solution to defend the counter-attack,
02:10to have more control of the game.
02:12And for that I'm happy because we didn't concede a counter-attack.
02:18The Coventry style of play is 80% of counter-attack and we didn't concede any counter-attack.
02:25We conceded one shoot.
02:28We didn't create more chance or too many chance like the other games, to be honest.
02:35But I knew before the game and I prepared this game saying to the players this game was maybe the
02:44most difficult.
02:47Because the defensive style of Coventry is different than Manchester United or the other games.
02:57About the new injuries as well, Robertson?
02:59No, no, no, no.
03:00I think there are not injuries.
03:03No, nothing important.
03:06And what did you make of the midfielder with Archie Gray in there and Tonali as well?
03:12I prepared the game, three at the back, one midfielder and three players in the pocket.
03:19Marmouche, James Maddison and Archie Gray with normally these three totally different players.
03:32Marmouche more attacker, Maddison more player in the pocket or for the link with the defenders with Tonali and he
03:43did.
03:43And Archie Gray to go in overlapping to Kudus.
03:48I think two players they played, they scored.
03:53Robertson played as a winger and in the first half played very well.
03:59And Kudus also.
04:01I like his performance and especially in the second half because in the first half I think was too difficult
04:11space to find the space.
04:14Solanke played a good second half.
04:17So how big is it for you to have James Maddison back starting games and Deki now coming towards that?
04:26Different players, they are different players.
04:34Different talent, different experience, different personality.
04:44With them in the dressing room there is another atmosphere.
04:51I mean at times this season and in the past the attackers have struggled a little bit with confidence.
04:58But Maddison never looks like he has a problem with confidence.
05:02And you can see that the way he scored, that seems important at this time.
05:06Yeah, it's important.
05:07It's important.
05:07I think the result is important but the most important thing can be two things.
05:15The first one we understood we are able to win a game like other teams in the Premier League.
05:24And the second one, if we put something more than ourselves like we have done in the last two weeks
05:37before Old Trafford.
05:40Because the day before Old Trafford we had a big meeting and we spoke about the situation.
05:50No, we can't accept, we can't move on if we don't take more responsibility.
05:59And this week was important because we stayed together, we spent time together.
06:07And they want to build not a family but like a family.
06:16Because during the game if you have a problem, if there is a tough situation, a difficult situation,
06:25you have to play for your team-mate, for your friend, for your brother.
06:30No, like a robot, eleven players on the pitch.
06:37Hi Roberto, you saw that today, the effect of the Marbella trip, you saw that in the way that your
06:43team...
06:43Yeah, the effect of the quality of the players, because Madison is a different player.
06:50But in terms of your question, I think Man Utd and today the players show a great reaction after the
07:03goal we conceded in Old Trafford in ten players.
07:07And today we conceded one goal in the first time, maybe second with the first half, one shoot and the
07:17second half another two.
07:19Two times they came inside of the goal area and we conceded the goal. It was tough, no?
07:25But football is like this, life is like this. If we don't react together in the tough moments, we have
07:34to change the sport,
07:35we have to play golf or other sport.
07:39And with Kulusevski's return, did you feel like the stadium needed it in that moment with the game ticking away
07:45and maybe a bit of nerves that it needed like a lift?
07:50I thought, listen, Kudus, I think he was playing well. I think he could finish the game. But I thought
08:03to Kulusevski just for the fans.
08:05Just for the fans because they waited him on the pitch and in the last five, ten minutes or extra
08:16time we needed the support of the fans.
08:22And they are fantastic with Kulusevski, with us. They suffered too much in the last two, three, four seasons, I
08:31don't know, but they deserve to celebrate many, many wins.
08:37Navidai, final one, please.
08:39Ciao, Roberto, complimenti. What's next? I mean, not just Chelsea, but how can you build on this victory?
08:46We have to say, I don't know, but I hope we can play with this attitude, with this mentality, with
08:57this union and improving in the same time,
09:04improving confidence, improving everything we need.
09:09And we have to play better, because we can play better.
09:16I think other games, even we play with different opponents, will be easier as a tactical game.
09:35But for sure now, we have to push in this way.
