00:00 For me it's always helpful that we look to the game spec.

00:03 Yeah, it doesn't matter if we win or we lose.

00:05 I think we have always the picture after the game,

00:08 what was good, what was wrong.

00:10 I think, of course, after the Huddersfield game,

00:15 we spoke also a bit about our mindset, what we need now.

00:19 Yeah, and I think it was...

00:22 Yeah, we had a very emotional meeting after the Huddersfield game.

00:26 It was great to see.

00:28 We were very honest, but also with a clear message.

00:32 And we took from this meeting a lot of energy.

00:35 And I think, yeah.

00:39 Also, when I look back to the last three games,

00:42 yeah, it means from the last three games we had five half times.

00:47 Yeah, a clean sheet.

00:49 Yeah, it means just the first half against Leicester,

00:53 it was 2-0 with two conceded goals,

00:56 but no conceded goals in the second half against Leicester,

00:59 no conceded goals against Birmingham,

01:01 no conceded goals against Millwall.

01:03 I think that was the basic for the last results.

01:07 This is important.

01:08 I think this is the key.

01:09 It's also the key for the weekend that we are very strong in our box.

01:14 And, yeah, and then we create awesome momentum in the opponent box.

01:18 And then we were very clinical.

01:20 This is what we have to do.

01:21 I think it's about finding the balance between playing well and taking results.

01:28 Yeah, I think, yeah, when you look back at the second half in Millwall,

01:33 it was not a great style of football,

01:37 but we did what we have to do.

01:39 And I think that was helpful.

01:40 And this is now the understanding what we need.

01:42 Yeah, of course, we have a clear identity.

01:45 And this means a front foot defending and find solutions.

01:50 But it's about decision making.

01:51 And I think this is a process where we are very well at the moment.

01:54 And hopefully we can keep going with this.

01:57 And if you find this balance, then I'm very happy with my team

02:01 because then I'm very convinced that we take more and more results what we need.

02:04 Yeah, that meeting that you spoke about, do you feel that had an effect,

02:09 you know, getting everybody together and sort of talking things over

02:13 and having a bit of emotion, a little bit of pride there?

02:15 Yeah, today in the morning,

02:18 I spoke with a guy from Germany and he said to me after the Huddersfield game

02:25 and then the Cavendish game in the cup,

02:28 he said, oh, maybe now the momentum goes in the other direction.

02:33 Yeah, it means then maybe we're dropping down.

02:36 And when I look back, yeah, I think we did our action as well as a team.

02:41 We showed immediately that we are still alive.

02:43 And I think that was the key message from this meeting.

02:49 And I think it was helpful.

02:51 And then it's, of course, about my players, yeah, how they believe in our way.

02:57 And I think this is fantastic.

02:58 I think this is also not normal.

03:01 Yeah, you can be dropped as a team in such a moment.

03:06 But for us, we took energy from this, from negative to positive.

03:11 And I think it was really well as from our team.

03:14 And now, yeah, we have a great opportunity in the next week.

03:17 So I think until the international break, yeah, we have five games to go.

03:22 And yeah, this is about keep going until this moment.

03:27 And then we can look in the international break where we are.

03:31 And hopefully we are done in the right position to make the last steps.

03:36 Yeah, of course.
