00:00Do you think of your career at any point of going to a stadium where your team has got a
00:06very bad record?
00:14No, maybe now I'm thinking one win in Italy Cup for Jabari
00:29when I was the coach of Foggia, League 3 against League 2 and it was many, many times Foggia didn't
00:37win in that stadium but it was one motivation more, no one motivation or one pressure more.
00:50We won, we won.
01:09I think he needs to understand the club, to understand, to come inside better in the environment.
01:21Of bigger club and different club but he's a good guy.
01:29I don't change my idea about him like the club.
01:35We push it together to bring him, we are convinced of his qualities and he has to stay with the
01:45head calm, in confidence and enjoy on the pitch, enjoy with the ball, show his qualities because he will be
01:57one of the most important players for Tottenham for the future, for the present and the future.
02:02So he's not a pressure?
02:05No, no, it's not a pressure, it's different habits, it's different...
02:15It's like this for the players when they change team, when they change club, when your step is higher, you
02:26feel more pressure, you have more expectation and maybe he has to adapt something more.
02:42I don't know.
02:45I don't know.
02:45He's in doubt.
02:48Yeah.
02:53No, he felt pain in the second half with Coventry but nothing important.
03:06Did you see enough from the new system, the system you used against Coventry to use it?
03:15It's enough.
03:16It's enough.
03:18I think we played...
03:19Well, we didn't play a best game in the season but for many reasons, no?
03:27But it's important to prepare the game three and four to change depending on the characteristics of the player, no?
03:35For myself because for me nothing changed three or four or two or one.
03:39But I try to put the players in the best position where they can show all their qualities and nothing
03:51more.
03:51We can't change our principle of playing.
03:55Nothing changed playing three or four because the principle are the same and it's important to have two, three, four
04:05solutions.
04:06We are speaking just about the occupation of the space because just this aspect can change.
04:15No, the principle, no, the mentality, no, the way to attack.
04:20Maybe some position to put all players in the best position I can.
04:28Tottenham, in recent years I've had a lot of criticism for the number of injuries.
04:36There have been many investigations into why.
04:41Do you think there is a problem or are you saying it is a wider issue beyond those?
04:50No, I think it's football.
04:56I'm convinced our medical staff this season is high level.
05:04I follow them, I believe them, I have big, big confidence because I know how they are working
05:15and I think they are good enough to believe in them.
05:19Nothing more.
05:21We are suffering the normal situation in football.
05:27Last season you thought it was because the Champions League?
05:31Yes, but last season there was another coach I can't answer because I don't know, it's not correct if I
05:37speak about the last season.
05:39I can say the last six games, many, many injuries, but the focus was totally different.
05:46And this season, Bergwahl injuries or Pedro injuries.
05:50Okay, we speak about Pedro Poro injuries.
05:53He played as a World Cup.
05:55He won the World Cup.
05:57He came after two or three seasons.
06:00Maybe with the head, maybe with the body.
06:03Maybe he didn't recover enough to start the season without the preseason.
06:11He already suffered in the World Cup.
06:15He already suffered in the World Cup the muscular problem of the armstrings.
06:18And he felt in the training, in the training, in the session, I don't know.
06:25He played anyway with Aston Villa, because he pushed to come before the right time.
06:36And he suffered another injury.
06:38But what is the responsibility of the medical staff?
06:42Or Bergwahl.
06:43Bergwahl, the first minute in Manchester, when regained the ball in the Man United build-up.
06:51When Solanke had the chance to score at the beginning.
06:56In the duels, in the tackle, turn his knee and he felt pain.
07:02He finished the game.
07:04The day after of the game, he felt pain.
07:07What is the responsibility of the medical staff?
07:11Nothing.
07:11Or Robertson.
07:17Robertson played four games in a row in the national team.
07:21Every three days he played.
07:23After that, he felt a small problem in Manchester.
07:29He didn't play.
07:31Just to don't take risk with him.
07:35Played 60-65 minutes with Coventry very well.
07:38Because, especially in the first half, played very well.
07:42But it was fatigue.
07:44Normal fatigue for one player who played six games in 15 days, in 20 days.
07:51So it's too simple to say, well, you're not in Europe anymore.
07:54You have one game a week.
07:58The injuries should be better.
08:01Maybe it's better.
08:02At the end of this season, we made the report, the total report.
08:09And we analysed the situation.
08:12But so far, I think we can't say nothing bad about medical staff or other reasons.
08:22Rob, please.
08:23You've always talked about the record.
08:25You have beaten Chelsea with it in Sydney.
08:28A couple months ago.
08:30What do you remember about that match?
08:31Yes, but different games.
08:35A friendly game is not a real game.
08:42No, no.
08:44With Brighton, we won 3-1 or 3-0 with Brighton in Stamford Bridge.
08:52I'm positive for myself.
09:00What's your relationship?
09:02Do you still speak with your texts?
09:03Do you embrace them well or is it very much?
09:07I have the relationship.
09:08It depends on the character of the players.
09:10If the players open the doors and they are open in the relationship,
09:17I'm happy because I'm an open guy and I'm not close.
09:26But I have a very good relationship with all 3 players.
09:32And on Monday, Harry Kane and Amin Jamal are going to be tossed into the Ballon d'Or in London.
09:40At the top manager, at the club where Harry Kane obviously made his name,
09:44who do you think should be the Ballon d'Or?
09:46I think he deserves to win the Ballon d'Or.
09:51There are big competitions in Ballon d'Or, but…
09:59But the goal, the player who…
10:02The level of the player is…
10:04Is 9, is 10, is number 2, is number 6, is total player.
10:18I don't know, I don't know the reason in this competition,
10:26but if Ballon d'Or has to be the qualities of the player.
10:31Anyway, Yamal is not better, eh?
10:35Okay, thank you very much.
10:37Bye bye.
10:40Bye bye.
