00:19Good afternoon everyone, I hope everyone is well, I'm just going to go to housekeeping
00:21and we'll kick off as live and we'll go to 10.30 Saturday as of the Sunday day.
00:25So if we're all waiting in the room, we'll kick off the gallery from Sky.
00:29Hello.
00:35Very disappointed to be fair, especially with the reckless tackles that he received and
00:42then his reaction is minimal in relation to the action and I'm disappointed that it's
00:49not being overturned after looking at the action back to be fair.
00:51You can't find many people in the world of football who think that that was a red car.
00:57Is it almost a case of a victim being punished?
01:01It is what it is.
01:02Yes, we have put every argument on the table to make a case for it, not only the action
01:10obviously that is so evident and when you look it back in slow motion the previous action
01:14and Max's action is clear that obviously we have a very different opinion.
01:19and on top of that I think you have to read the context of the player, the age and what
01:26happened previously.
01:27Could have been serious, couldn't it?
01:29Yeah.
01:32It could have been really bad, yeah.
01:33And we are lucky today that he hasn't had a broken foot.
01:37That's clear.
01:38Obviously with an emotional moment in an emotional game, there's things being made about your
01:44reaction as Max went off.
01:46Is that part of your role as a father figure for these younger players?
01:52Well, my reaction comes on a moment of heat and extreme frustration because I know the consequences
01:59of that especially for Max.
02:01And it's something that we discussed just before we went out because it's not the first
02:07time that happened.
02:07It happened another time this month with England and it will continue to happen unfortunately
02:12because the way he plays and the way he attracts opponents and that's it.
02:18And we need to be able to tell each other the thing as they are because he's 16 and we
02:25have
02:25to be very protective of him but at the same time very straight with him with what to expect
02:31from him towards the team, the individuals and the club.
02:36Is everything okay between you now?
02:39Yeah, for sure.
02:39I mean I had a talk with him yesterday.
02:42No issues at all.
02:43I've done it so I try to prevent that.
02:45But that's why I'm so protective of these things and especially with young players
02:50because we have made those mistakes and you know how much you can get punished
02:54and how much you can change what happens next.
02:57And it's not the first time so obviously we need to put an end to it very, very quickly.
03:03In terms of team use, obviously on the right-hand side, potentially a place like Antrim
03:08because you've got a few issues.
03:10Will Noni Maguireki be okay?
03:12We don't know yet.
03:14We'll have a training session tomorrow, see if he can complete that full session tomorrow
03:18and after that we'll know whether he's available or not.
03:20But you're not ruling him out?
03:23Noni, no.
03:26And in terms of that right-hand side, I think Bakaya, we still haven't heard from the club
03:30a definitive what is the issue here, what grade is it, how long will he be out?
03:35Is it going to be before the international game?
03:38Probably.
03:38As I said, he needed another scan to see how the amount of fluid that was there was resolving,
03:44whether the tendon is touched and how badly it is touched.
03:47That's a fine.
03:50And afterwards, we'll know more about it.
03:58Would you do that at this stage from joining up with England?
04:03Again, I don't know.
04:05It looks like it but we'll have to wait and see next week.
04:07After the international break, they come thick and fast, don't they?
04:10Yeah.
04:11Newcastle, Man City, then Spurs, then Real Madrid.
04:15Do you hope to see him as all or some of those games?
04:18Yes, we want to have him as quick as possible.
04:20The player is desperate, he's feeling much better than he was a few days ago
04:24and we need to wait how he evolves.
04:26Okay, just quickly.
04:27Declan Reyes, Ricardo Calafiore, Cristos.
04:30They all train today and they will train tomorrow and if everything is okay, they will be available.
04:36Anita, Premier League.
04:37Hello.
04:38Looking ahead to the future against Liverpool, they didn't have the best of starts of the season
04:44getting used to playing under Antonio Raiola.
04:47They are now six points off themselves in Manchester City.
04:50Do you think they're title challenges?
04:53Well, I think all the top clubs are certainly title challenges and it's so early in the season
04:58when you look at the squad, the managers that they have and the history, for sure that is.
05:02We expect a big game on Sunday.
05:06We are looking forward to it, for sure.
05:08It's 14 years that we haven't won there, so it's time to do it.
05:13How much does that hurt you?
05:14It's an opportunity.
05:16I mean, I came here and in many places we were 20, 22 years, 18 years without winning
05:20and we've been doing all these things.
05:23So, on Sunday that's the opportunity that we have.
05:27Alexander Isak is in great form.
05:28He's scored six goals in his last six Premier League appearances.
05:32How do you keep him quiet?
05:34I keep him as far from the ball as possible.
05:37We always try.
05:38It's not only him.
05:39It's all the connections that they have, especially when they have a space to run.
05:43We know how dangerous they are in that kind of moment and the quality of the striker
05:47that we are talking about.
05:48That's the position in the Premier League.
05:49And just finally, how much do you like coming up against your fellow compatriot
05:55but also from the same part of Spain in Andoli?
05:57It's a privilege.
05:59I think this was that many, many times.
06:01With someone that has been your teammate that you spent so many beautiful moments together
06:05when we were younger.
06:06To be facing each other, to be close, massive clubs in this country, in Europe
06:11in a big match like this, it's just a blessing.
06:15Alex on the BBC.
06:16Hi.
06:16Just on the match, how has he been?
06:19Obviously, he's only 16.
06:20This is his first real test probably in his career.
06:27I mean, when you play for astronauts, you're going to have highs and lows.
06:30You have to be prepared for that.
06:32It doesn't matter the age.
06:34So, don't feel sorry for yourself.
06:35That happened.
06:36Those things happened.
06:36Make sure that you are humble enough to recognise that and to learn from it and work on it.
06:43That shows you, as well, that there are many things that you have to be so good at
06:49to sustain the level and to maintain a certain level when you play for a club like us.
06:54And that's what he needs to do.
06:55And he has the talent.
06:56He has the will.
06:58And he has the capacity and the brain to do it.
07:00No question about that.
07:01Are you surprised with the reaction to your reaction to him coming up?
07:06Or do you kind of understand?
07:07I haven't seen the reaction to my reaction, whether it's positive or negative.
07:11Dan mentioned about it.
07:13I understand.
07:14But you need to understand the context, the relationship that I have with him, and what
07:18we discussed just before we went out.
07:23But, I don't know, you can have a lot of reaction.
07:26If you see the reaction of my father and my mother with me someday, you will say,
07:29I don't like the reaction.
07:30For me, it was the best reaction ever to be able to be who I am.
07:33But you want to always leave the best reaction and the beautiful one.
07:37You want to see the reaction of his teammates when they have to play with them?
07:40You want to see that?
07:41What do you expect?
07:42No good.
07:43I don't know.
07:44And the England ones, they are his age, 16, the same.
07:46What is their reaction?
07:48That's the reaction.
07:49That's the level and that's the reaction.
07:50And whether it is right or wrong, that's the reaction.
07:53But the reaction when I don't win, you know what the reaction is?
07:56I'm pissed off big time.
07:58You know?
07:58So, we need to be ready for that.
08:00This is the environment and this is the reality.
08:02Otherwise, we are in Disneyland.
08:03We are not in Disneyland.
08:05We are in the Premier League at this level.
08:07And we look after him so much that you cannot imagine.
08:11But at the same time, we're going to demand him like to anybody else.
08:15Because he needs to earn the right to play.
08:17Otherwise, the rest of the boys, what are they going to tell me?
08:21You need to be fair.
08:23Let's go.
08:23Back to the standard.
08:25Can I ask about Kai?
08:26It feels like maybe since the international break,
08:28it hasn't been consistently out of the press.
08:31Is he still being sort of injured or impacted by the country?
08:34No, it has nothing to do with that.
08:37It's true that in terms of the numbers, we have dropped those numbers.
08:41But he certainly had the chances as well to play.
08:45And that kind of form and that kind of efficiency from players is very common.
08:51Full trust on him and what he's doing.
09:01Yeah, what happened in midweek is probably the beauty of this game.
09:06And that's why people love football so much.
09:09Because when you look at what we generated, what the opponent generated,
09:12you play that game 100 times, you know the results 99% of the times.
09:16But it's football and it happens something magical and they went through.
09:20So I need to have a perspective on that.
09:23And they obviously analyse, but don't judge the players too hard,
09:27especially without understanding the context of it.
09:30James, Athletic.
09:32Hi, Mikael.
09:33Bukayo being out means there could be a good opportunity for Nani Maduoké
09:37to get some minutes in the coming weeks.
09:40I just wondered, there's some sort of feeling with Nani,
09:42that although he's clearly a very good player,
09:44the ingredients are potentially there then to go to another level,
09:48something else within him.
09:49Is that the view that you share?
09:51Do you think he's getting closer to achieving?
09:54He's getting closer, but he needs to do it.
09:56And he needs to make that click.
09:58And that's what top elite players do.
10:00He has all the potential to do it.
10:02He has all the attributes to do it.
10:04He certainly has the will to do it.
10:06Because when you see him train every single day,
10:10he's one of the players that enjoys the most the practice
10:12and wants to expose himself to all kinds of situations and actions.
10:16Now he needs to put the performance on the pitch.
10:18And what is that about?
10:19Is that consistency?
10:20Is it something psychological?
10:22It's actually doing it and being able to do it again.
10:25And once you do it two or three times,
10:27they will have more trust.
10:28He will have more security in what he does.
10:31He will play more minutes because as well,
10:33sometimes we ask him a player to do that when he's not playing regularly.
10:36And that's a bit unfair as well.
10:37And now he's got a great opportunity ahead of him.
10:40James, yes?
10:41Abigail, just on that, this club specifically has had some kind of really devastating injuries,
10:47Aaron, I believe, from tackles like that.
10:51And I think there was a general view that Arsenal were a bit soft and that they were refereeing differently.
10:57Do you still get the sense that your players are a bit different, that you have a view of Arsenal?
11:02No, I don't have that. No.
11:05And I don't have that at all.
11:07I think the players try to protect the players.
11:09I think the referees have studied the game,
11:12they know which players are more vulnerable to bad tackles
11:16and they try to protect them.
11:18I'm sure of that.
11:18And especially someone like Max, I have no doubt about that.
11:21Can you just clarify exactly what the meta was when the players went out?
11:26I thought we discussed that before the game.
11:30Is that clear enough?
11:31Do I have to repeat it or no?
11:33Before the game, what was it?
11:36Related to what could happen.
11:38Exactly what happened.
11:39And not only the red, the ten seconds before,
11:42the way he comes to receive the ball,
11:44what kind of ball that is,
11:45whether he stood or no,
11:46and after that if he gets tackled what happens next.
11:49Exactly that.
11:51Is that clear?
11:53Good.
11:53Now we don't have to guess.
11:56When you have a 16-year-old,
11:59one team probably hasn't fully developed.
12:01So how much of a physical risk is playing at the top?
12:06It's what it is.
12:07I think we discussed that when he made his debut,
12:10I think in pre-season.
12:12Remember we played Newcastle.
12:13It was a very physical game.
12:14And that's my fear.
12:16And that's why I want to protect.
12:18Because if a player that weights 95 kilos, 100 kilos,
12:21comes at 35 kilometres an hour to max,
12:24and hits a bone, I don't know what happens.
12:29So when we talk about protecting him,
12:32but the week before you're asking me why he's not playing every week
12:34when he's done really well against Everton.
12:36So we really need to guys put as well some perspective in every context
12:41of the player that we have, which is tremendous,
12:45and leave it there and let him grow and let's protect him.
12:47But all of us.
12:49Do you think this whole weekend, just the whole experience of the last few days,
12:53is it just a bit of a reminder for anyone?
12:56I don't think it is a reminder.
12:57That's a reality.
12:58Otherwise we live in a different reality.
13:00And I think we discussed a week ago how many players in the history
13:03of the Premier League have done what Max is doing.
13:06And there isn't one.
13:07So it's something new.
13:09And as new, who will do things well?
13:12I will do things well.
13:12I will do things not so well.
13:14I will try to learn as quick as possible, protect him as much as possible.
13:17But at the same time, it's at the level that we are in.
13:20And we are here to win football matches and to perform at the highest level.
13:23That's it.
13:24Okay.
13:25Last two minutes.
13:25I have to give up on the matches.
13:27Good afternoon.
13:29I just really touched on our victory in 2012 at Anfield.
13:32Sorry, sorry?
13:33The last victory at Anfield was in 2012.
13:36We were there at the time.
13:36Mm-hm.
13:38Knowing how to win and have a victory at Anfield,
13:40how do you translate that now to a player with that experience?
13:44Well, going there with full conviction, that's number one.
13:47And we've been very, very close in the last few years to win.
13:50But something is missed.
13:52And that will be in this question the last few days,
13:55to go there with a real purpose to hurt them
13:58and get away from there with a victory.
14:01I'm in from BCOMS.
14:02Hi, I'm Michael.
14:03I'm in from BCOMS here.
14:04The Royals teams are going to create chaos off the ball.
14:09How much of playing through that press on Sunday
14:13is down to player rotations and movements
14:18versus players having that bravery and courage
14:21to hold up to that ball there for a second?
14:23Yeah, those chaotic moments can come from situations
14:26where you have a clear advantage to play
14:27and other ones that you don't have any advantage
14:29and you have to play a different game.
14:31We are both teams very aggressive in our high press,
14:34not giving any time to the opponent.
14:36No, Andoni really well.
14:38So we're both going to face a lot of moments that are very similar
14:40and to escape or to break that it will be important.
14:44But it will be not only the only aspect that it's relevant to win the game.
14:49Okay.
14:49That finishes as live.
14:50We're now going to...
14:51...
14:51...
