00:12Good afternoon everyone, hope you're well. We'll take a share of answer questions please.
00:17So you said you didn't think you should have lost, can you explain the rationale?
00:23Because I think we deserve more from the game for the amount of chances that we created
00:28and for the chances that we conceded.
00:33You took off Mark Gay at half-time, is he OK?
00:36Pitch-wise or is he confident?
00:40No, it's OK, it's just a technical decision, like happened in all the games
00:44that the manager decided to make change.
00:50Mark's form, concern at the moment?
00:57No, I'm not worried about Mark at all.
01:01I know that he's playing every minute since the season start with us, with the international team.
01:07So it's not easy. But again, the change was also because he was in yellow card.
01:12And you know, in the way we want to be aggressive, sometimes to have one yellow card can be dangerous.
01:18But I'm not worried at all.
01:21Are you still trying to find a balance in defence?
01:25Yeah, for sure. We need to find that balance.
01:27Again, if you imagine to come here and don't concede one-two transition in the game,
01:31it's almost not the reality.
01:34Second half, I think, I don't remember any more shots or any more chances for them
01:39unless the goal that we concede in transition.
01:45You said you didn't deserve to lose, but you actually lost. So why do you think you lost?
01:50We lost because probably we have not been cleaning enough in their box.
01:56And sometimes when you concede the first goal because of the mistake,
02:01the second goal again came from transition in 45 minutes.
02:05It's difficult to avoid that every time.
02:07And again, we learn from the game and we try to move on and to improve.
02:11What do you think you need to learn from these games?
02:15Well, now I need to review a little bit the game.
02:18But again, for sure, if you see the amount of time that we spent in their side
02:24and in their box, sometimes you need just to be probably more accurate,
02:28precise in the last third and try to score goals.
02:32You can always do something better, but for me, when you plan a game,
02:45especially against this team, you know that you are going to concede some transition
02:50because they play for that, they wait for that.
02:53But if before the game you say to me, you are going to concede one transition in 45 minutes,
02:58are you happy? I will say, I will be happy.
03:02Second half, we concede one and they score.
03:04So they are being clinical in that moment.
03:06And again, we're going to try to learn from that and try to move on.
03:11We've seen in the last two weekends of the Premier League, in the race in the cafe,
03:18players taken in some sort of checking on to.
03:21Is that something you as a team and a club haven't discussed beforehand?
03:26Have you spoken to the players about it?
03:28No, I think the players are already aware of all the information from the club,
03:33so that's why I didn't speak with them.
03:43Yeah, he's okay. He had cramp, so he was tired, that's why we decided to change,
03:48but it was very good between first half and second half.
03:52And you are creating plenty of chances, is it now about being more clinical in the back?
03:57Yeah, that's why I said we spent, I just saw some information,
04:02we spent most of the game in their side, in their box in the last third.
04:06Sometimes you have to be more clinical when you have a chance,
04:09but also more precise, last pass, more accurate.
04:13And we're going to learn from that.
04:15Can I just check on the team as well?
04:17Yeah, Matteo, he could be available for the next game.
04:25Richard?
04:34No, but it's not with Ryan.
04:43The last game I changed him half-time, I changed him, Ruben Diaz and one more player,
04:49I don't remember now, against PSG.
04:51So it's not just Ryan.
04:52Today I changed Ryan, but I changed also Mark Gay.
04:54So it's just in that moment, what I can see, where we can improve things,
04:59where we can change, but the main reason today for Mark and for Ryan
05:03was also because both they were in yellow card.
05:06And with this stadium, sometimes the referee also, with the noise,
05:13they judge in different ways.
05:16So I prefer to change players.
05:19Sir?
05:36I think against PSG was a bit different, but again, I think today we need a technical midfielder.
05:44That's why Ryan was out and Phil was inside.
05:47But no doubt that Ayub is going to help us.
05:51Today Jens and Elliot, I think both, they had a very good game.
05:54And we have so many games that for sure he's going to play in minutes.
05:58Are we happy with the centre of the big field in Enzo and any other since the game?
06:02Yeah, I think we worked quite good.
06:05Again, they were the ones in charge to control the game and to build up,
06:10with Ruben and Margais in the first half and then Kusa in the second half.
06:14And I think they did well.
06:17Thank you everyone.
06:17Have a good evening.
06:22Thank you, everyone.
