00:13Ali, do you want to start, sir?
00:14Very patient.
00:15That must be exactly what you want to do, you think?
00:19Exactly what you want to do.
00:22Yeah.
00:24This is a normal answer, no?
00:27But we played 90 minutes, we played very well, great individual performance, great collective performance, because we played very well.
00:42And then we put something different than Tottenham, I think, in the last period, no?
00:56Not attitude, different attitude, I think different union, different relationships with the players, different group.
01:13Yeah, but changing the spirit of the group, change the performance of the players, especially the more fragile players, maybe
01:26the younger players.
01:28Mateus Fernandes played, maybe was one of the best players on the pitch, like Matisse Tell.
01:36Archie Gray is younger, but he's older, has a mentality.
01:43I'm very, very, very happy.
01:46How is it?
01:48No, I think it's not a very important problem.
01:53We need to make the medical check tomorrow, after tomorrow, I don't know.
02:03I hope he's not a big problem, because he's a special player for us.
02:09We need him.
02:12But, Roberto, do you think that, because you have young players and it's a new team, it means they're less
02:18worried by Tottenham's bad history in this game?
02:23No, I think the record, the negative record, was the last problem we fought before the game.
02:37Normally, we wanted to make happy our fans, but it's not our responsibility for the result of the past.
02:45Now, winning the game, we are very happy for them, very proud for the club, but I think we are
02:55working to change the mentality of our club in the last seasons.
03:02Seven points after Manchester, before Manchester, we spoke a lot, a big, big meeting, removing the mask and speaking honestly,
03:14clearly in front of ourselves.
03:20And from that moment, I think it changed something in ourselves, no?
03:29Roberto, do you think that Cole Palmer could have been sent off for the first yellow card?
03:34Yep.
03:36Is that what he was paying on the sideline?
03:38Yep.
03:39Yes, but not a problem.
03:42But you must have been proud that, because Fernandez gets booked as well, that he reacts well and maturely.
03:48Obviously, Palmer gets his second yellow. You must have been pleased with your team that they managed to keep…
03:53They were fighting in the spirit, but they didn't go over the…
03:57No, no. I love watching my players fighting on the pitch. But Mateus Fernandez played 90 minutes with a big,
04:08big, big quality.
04:10I want to see Mateus Fernandez with personality. I want to see Fernandez enjoy with the ball, even if he
04:20can make mistakes.
04:22It doesn't matter, it's not a problem, a mistake. But I want to see this personality from my team.
04:29We are a big club. In the last period, the results have been not so good, but we keep… We
04:40are a top club in Premier League, and we must show personality.
04:48We must show mentality. We must show our qualities of the players. Otherwise, we have to change the club.
04:56You didn't just win, you dominated the ball as well, didn't you? It's not like you came here and scored
05:02on the counter-attack and won. You dominated the ball.
05:05Yes. Maybe in the first half, we suffered too much. In the half-time, I said to the players, we
05:11are playing very well.
05:12You are playing very well, but we are considering too much for the game. It's the same, no?
05:19Because we lost one ball. We lost one ball on the left side, Nicky van der Wendt and Tonali, and
05:25we conceded the goal.
05:26We lost the ball with Inguildato, with Tony Kinski and Palmer. And shoot for nothing. And we could create more
05:37chances also in the first half.
05:41I think we dominated the game, but we created too less if you consider the quality and the level of
05:53our performance.
05:54But we can't forget that Chelsea is still Chelsea because they have a clear style of play, clear organisation, great
06:06players, great coach.
06:08So the level of the difficulty of the game was high.
06:13Do you think a win like this against Chelsea will help to continue to change the personality and the motivation
06:20of the players?
06:21Why not? There is a reason why not. I can't understand why we have to ask this question because we
06:34won two games in a row.
06:35We made seven points, okay, but we didn't win nothing. We can find again the first period.
06:53And we want to improve, improve, improve, and to be better game by game, week by week. I think we
07:01have suffered enough.
07:06Can I ask you about the signings? How did they contribute to the solidity?
07:18Yeah, JP played very well. JP Van Eyke and Mateusz, I said, Tonali very well. I think the best game
07:27in his time in Tottenham.
07:31Marmouche, he played a good game. It was a tough game for him. But he played and he fought in
07:37the right way. But Matisse still played very well.
07:42Well, I think we won the game with two wingers. Kudus and Matisse, they made the difference. And also Mickey
07:53Van Der Ven, because he was unbelievable with the ball.
08:00I think in my time, Mickey Van Der Ven played the best game.
08:07Final one, please. Yes.
08:09You mentioned the changes in mentality. To the point, what have you done around the training level or the training
08:17business, so I can change that mindset.
08:19If I put that control, how do you play soccer league?
08:23Nothing. Nothing. I'm lucky because I have great players and great people. And when you work with smart people, sensitive
08:34people, they already know what we need to do to be better, to improve the situation, to change the situation.
08:42And we have many, many, many great guys in the dressing room. I think the credit is of them. And
08:55now we have to keep this way.
09:01Thank you very much.
