00:00We'll take this one.

00:07Okay.

00:08What are your reflections on that and how do you feel it went wrong today?

00:33I think the only thing we had influence on was ball possession because they played a

00:39lot of long balls.

00:40So if you then take the ball back, you need to go past 11 players.

00:45And we had a lot of ball possession, but only managed to create three, four quite good chances.

00:54So that's by far not enough against, if you have so much ball possession, if you play

00:58so much on their half, we need to be much better.

01:01And we lost the ball so many times in simple situations.

01:06So yeah, that is, I think, the main story from the game.

01:11Ball possession, not good enough.

01:15It's always difficult to say this, but I don't think it has anything to do with it.

01:32Players came back strong and I saw today also a team that wanted to fight till the end.

01:38So that not to do, in my opinion, with energy, but we would simply had the ball a lot and

01:43we had to create from ball possession.

01:45If you look at the goals we've scored till now, we also scored quite a few from transition

01:53moments.

01:54So from winning the ball back and then go into transition, but the other team played

01:59over our press a lot with a lot of long balls.

02:01So like I said, we got the ball mostly in our last line and then it wasn't good enough

02:08today, also because too many individual performances in ball possession were not of the standards

02:15that I'm used to from these players.

02:18Do you regard it as a big setback to the process?

02:27Not to the process, but it is a big setback.

02:32If you lose a home game, that's always a setback.

02:38If you face a team, we never know, maybe they will go all the way to fight for Champions

02:43League tickets, but normally this team is not ending up in the top ten, so if you lose

02:50a game against them, that's a big disappointment, although they were organised and structured

02:55really well today.

02:57How will you react to this?

03:04I want to see the same attitude every single day, after a big win, after a small win, after

03:11a draw, after a loss.

03:13So it's just go out to work again tomorrow, analyse what we did well and what we didn't

03:17do well, so there were enough things we could improve from them in the United game.

03:22That's also what we showed them, we showed them also a few good things and that's going

03:25to be the same tomorrow and the day after.

03:29But this is a different game than the one we've played until now because we faced a

03:32low block, so the team we faced played really low, and that's because of the result that

03:40we had a lot of ball possession.

03:43But we were not able to create a lot.

03:46How are you going to prepare for this big turnaround?

03:58Like we prepare all the other ones.

04:00Does it feel like an easy influence?

04:03No, that wouldn't be good.

04:05If I would change my way of preparation after a loss, that means that I only do the best

04:10work I can after we lose, so I always try to do the same, just the same as I expect

04:15from the players.

04:16They have to recover in the best possible way after a win and after a loss or a draw,

04:22and we will try to be in the best possible way prepared for Tuesday, which is going to

04:25be a completely different game, but also a game where we will face a lot of quality.
