00:03 - Can we start? - Yeah.

00:27 - Welcome to the press conference following our fifth match

00:31 in the EuroLeague group stage.

00:34 Unfortunately, we're after our 4-0 defeat.

00:39 We have Thomas Sageda in position.

00:43 Please give us your first initial impressions

00:45 of the game tonight.

00:47 - Good evening, everybody.

00:49 Firstly, congratulations to Liverpool on their victory.

00:52 They earned it.

00:53 It was a well-deserved victory.

00:55 They won the group.

00:57 (speaking in foreign language)

00:59 And also, congratulations to our fans,

01:03 our support, who were very, very impressive today

01:07 throughout the match.

01:08 We took a lot of risks, I think.

01:11 A lot of our risks were punished, I have to say.

01:17 In the first few minutes,

01:20 we noticed that the team was straight away

01:24 under pressure today.

01:25 However, right through to the end,

01:27 we kept up our fight.

01:29 We were in the game.

01:32 Also, in the opponent's half, we pushed.

01:37 I think had we scored, it would have been well earned.

01:40 We weren't defeated through lack of effort.

01:43 Yeah, you promised an energy-full performance

01:54 like yesterday in the press conference.

01:56 So what do you think happened today?

02:00 The match started very well.

02:02 Everything did start well for us, you're right.

02:06 Having said that, perhaps we weren't passionate enough.

02:15 We weren't brave enough, maybe.

02:17 There were times.

02:18 I think we were in the game, certainly,

02:23 but only when we were behind.

02:26 The little details.

02:31 We had a few little instances

02:35 where we lost position very quickly.

02:38 We found where we had opportunities to go forward,

02:43 but we lost position.

02:45 There was a situation with Moses,

02:49 another with Marin, where the last contact

02:53 wasn't the greatest.

02:55 The last touch weren't working out.

02:57 Those little details worked against us.

02:59 (speaking in German)

03:02 (speaking in German)

03:06 I think we tried to perhaps too much

03:28 pressing high line at the beginning of the game.

03:31 I think that's why we were in a rapid short order.

03:34 We were 2-0 down.

03:35 (speaking in German)

03:38 We can only do what's possible,

03:40 especially about the second goal.

03:43 (speaking in German)

03:58 Yeah, the radio mic is broken.

04:00 (speaking in German)

04:03 Can you learn something from this match,

04:20 or is it such a bad one you just wanna forget about it?

04:24 (speaking in German)

04:30 (speaking in German)

04:33 Yeah, I think as a team, we can certainly learn something.

04:37 Maybe I too as a coach can learn something

04:39 from a match like this.

04:40 Yeah, to stand at the pitch side and direct,

04:49 this is a really good thing.

04:51 (speaking in German)

04:56 Are you the kind of person who will make yourself

05:01 some suggestions during the journey home?

05:03 Will you analyze the match in your head on the way home?

05:07 Or have you got already points where you think,

05:12 maybe I should have changed this or that?

05:15 Is there anything you could share with us now,

05:17 or is it too soon after the game

05:19 to reveal that sort of thing?

05:21 I am my own worst critic.

05:26 I always think what we could have done differently,

05:29 how we could have trained differently,

05:32 but I think in all the work that we've done

05:37 in the building to the game,

05:39 what's possible, what we can manage with the personnel

05:42 we have with the player changes.

05:44 And then the characteristics of the game as well,

05:51 but these marginal differences actually on the pitch.

05:56 (speaking in German)

05:59 I think generally we're on a good path,

06:02 but to come here and play at Anfield against Liverpool

06:06 didn't work tonight.

06:08 (speaking in German)

06:11 Okay, you're gonna think about this 4-0 defeat to Liverpool.

06:24 (speaking in German)

06:27 How difficult is it therefore to understand

06:35 the two, three defeat that Liverpool suffered in Toulouse?

06:39 Klopp was particularly upset about that result in his record.

06:45 This is a good question.

06:49 I think Toulouse played a really good match that night.

06:54 I think coming here, playing against a team

07:02 which is so well known,

07:03 maybe Liverpool went to Toulouse to compete against a team

07:07 that they didn't know quite so well

07:08 and were shocked with it, surprised.

07:11 I think the opportunities that we had in our home match

07:18 against Toulouse,

07:19 (speaking in German)

07:23 I think now that we're out,

07:24 we'll be able to focus on our own Austrian Bundesliga.

07:27 (speaking in German)

07:30 What's your hopes now for Liverpool to go to Belgium

07:41 and put in a top performance over there?

07:43 (speaking in German)

07:47 Great.

07:48 (speaking in German)

07:51 I think they make a well-intentioned question,

07:59 but Jürgen Klopp will always say

08:02 (speaking in German)

08:06 that he's gonna go to a game,

08:09 go to an away game and ask the team

08:10 to give the best they can.

08:12 (speaking in German)

08:16 (speaking in German)

08:19 What, do you know what happened?

08:20 With Ibrahim Mustapha injured,

08:21 the substitute came on, was taken off injured.

08:24 The physios and the doctor are with him just now.

08:29 They had a brief chat.

08:31 We're gonna have a meeting with him.

08:34 It looks as if it might be

08:37 a brief analysis at the pitch side.

08:43 (speaking in German)

08:46 (speaking in German)

08:49 Yeah, I think a strain to the knee.

08:54 Nothing too seriously, hopefully.

08:56 If there are no more questions,

09:00 I wish you all a pleasant evening.

09:02 It's been nice to see you and see you soon.
