packing substitutions but no Jack Grealish.
00:03
We haven't seen much of him recently.
00:04
Have you lost a bit of faith in Jack recently?
00:07
No, he will be back.
00:08
Is there an issue with him at all at the moment,
00:12
with his form or his fitness or anything?
00:14
No, he struggled this season and Jeremy
00:19
had made an incredible step forward
00:21
and everyone has seen the last games
00:23
and that's why I give minutes to him.
00:25
But he will be back on the level he had last season.
00:29
I'm pretty sure.
00:30
Just to join behind you, please.
00:31
Pep, you made a big show of faith this season
00:35
in sort of the motivation,
00:37
how important it was to motivate the players
00:39
after everything they achieved last season.
00:42
Just how important is it to motivate again next season?
00:45
And these players, they always just grasp on that, don't they?
00:49
Do you still envisage them to be as hungry as ever
00:51
for next season to be more successful?
00:53
Next season is next season. It's far away now.
00:55
It's difficult for me to process,
00:56
even after winning in the Premier League.
00:59
So it's a question of calm, relax
01:01
and we'll be back as best as possible.
01:04
And I'm not thinking next season,
01:05
we'll have to do this or that.
01:06
So step by step and we'll see what happens.
01:10
The squad that we will have and start to walk and run.
01:15
And after we will see.
01:17
My point of view, the season has been amazing,
01:19
but the journey was really good.
01:20
We leave every week in, week out in a good mood and good vibes.
01:25
And the team has been extraordinary,
01:27
the way we played in the Champions League.
01:29
We didn't lose one game today.
01:32
It was not maybe the rhythm in the first half, but you know,
01:35
they play, you know, they struggle the season and we knew it.
01:38
So if you put them in the other position,
01:41
they will give everything today, you know, to perform as best as possible.
01:45
But in general, it was what we were,
01:49
especially in the second half, in certain minutes in the first.
01:52
And we had one more man behind that was not needed.
01:55
We need more men in front, in the pockets, in central positions.
01:59
And we struggled to find that.
02:01
And in the second half, we fixed it a little bit better.
02:04
It was better.
02:05
And we had the chances to equalise,
02:08
to reduce the margin with 0-2.
02:11
It would be early and maybe it would happen.
02:13
And after, you know, the tempo and some decisions,
02:17
you know, take influence in the game.
02:19
And unfortunately, it could not be.
02:22
I'm going to finish with Richard and then James, please.
02:23
Jaipep, your players stayed to watch Man United lift the trophy.
02:27
That's something that Ten Hag made his players do last year.
02:29
Did you ask them to do that?
02:31
Or is that...
02:32
Sorry, sorry.
02:33
They stayed to watch the players, United lift the trophy, your players?
02:36
Yeah. And?
02:37
And is that something that came from you or is that just from them?
02:40
Oh, we have done it.
02:42
I lost some finals or something like that.
02:45
Always you have to stay to take respect for the opening.
02:52
You know, always has to be like that.
02:54
But would it also help them kind of not want to be in that situation again?
02:56
Trying to drink it in.
02:57
We played to win.
03:00
It's not because we don't...
03:01
So they win, they deserve it.
03:04
Congratulations.
03:05
What can we say?
03:06
So I could say a few things, but it's what it is.
03:10
So it's not going to change next season.
03:13
Something like...
03:14
Because it's going to motivate it, because today United lift the trophy.
03:18
We really have to be in ourselves, improve ourselves and do better.
03:21
James?
03:23
Pep, you said after the West Ham game last weekend
03:26
that you'd got the message from Arsenal and you'd maybe need to do something this summer.
03:31
Do you expect City to be pretty busy in the transfer market this summer?
03:38
Right now, I don't know.
03:39
But do you as manager feel...
03:41
I mean, obviously you've got some players that have been a key part of this team
03:45
for a very long time, who aren't getting any younger.
03:48
The club has generally been very good at succession planning.
03:51
Right now, I don't know.
03:52
I don't know what's going to happen,
03:54
because I don't know the players now,
03:56
how they're going to take a decision,
03:56
whether they want to continue with us or want to leave or not.
03:58
The positions, some players come in, come out.
04:01
So right now, I don't know.
04:02
I'm really pleased with the team, how they behave all season.
04:05
I couldn't say differently.
04:07
So being here in the final FA Cup, it's nice.
04:10
Unfortunately, we lose it.
04:12
But after what we've done in the Premier League and the Champions League as well,
04:16
I don't see anything.
04:17
The people expect us to win every season, triples and doubles.
04:20
So I'm good, or we are good, but not good enough to do it.
04:25
But we tried.
04:27
We were there until the end,
04:28
in the quarterfinals and Champions League, but we were there more than this.
04:32
And we lose again, because in the finals,
04:36
you know, a lot of things happen in both.
04:41
You know, in moments, in momentum, in mistakes, decisions.
04:45
And sometimes it takes influence in the game.
04:49
Do you think some players have got decisions then to make this summer as well?
04:54
Right now, I don't know.
04:55
My sports director said that everything is fine, it's here,
04:58
but I don't know what is going to happen.
05:00
I don't know.
05:01
Thank you, guys.
05:02
OK, happy holidays.
05:03
Thank you.
05:04
Good luck.
05:05
Good summer.
05:06
Good summer, then.
