00:00Did you see enough in the second half to encourage you that this winless run would end soon?

00:24Absolutely, thank you for this question. This is what I told the players.

00:29We have to and we will build up on the performance in the second half.

00:33First half we had a great start with an offside goal and then we could see the quality of Liverpool.

00:39It's just how quick they play, how they move, how they make the runs in behind and threaten you.

00:46So this is why they are maybe at the moment the best team, not just in England,

00:50also they won the two games in the Champions League and we struggled.

00:53And they had the lead, they deserved the lead.

00:56But the reaction in the second half and how we played in the second half encourages all of us.

01:03Because then we created chances, we had enough chances to score.

01:10We didn't, so I think we should get a clear penalty when Mark Gaze holds it with two hands.

01:17And overall, yes, it's disappointing, it's a little bit frustrating,

01:21but I think the second half was the best performance in this season.

01:26And this gives me a lot of confidence for the rest of the season.

01:33You said it was a clear penalty, VAR looked at it, didn't give it. Do you have any idea why?

01:39Yes, I think they thought it's no penalty.

01:43But in this situation for me it's no discussion, so we can discuss about hand or not.

01:49But in this situation, Mark Gaze wants to go to the ball, he holds it with two hands,

01:55because it also influences his run, he tears him down.

02:01I don't know why, I could read their explanation, but I don't agree with this.

02:10Frustrating? Because these decisions are very costly, aren't they?

02:16Yes, it's frustrating, but in this situation we don't have an influence.

02:21I didn't complain about decisions, Brentford disallowed goal, for example.

02:28But I think today, yes, because we did it really well in the second half,

02:33we had enough chances to score from our chances, which we didn't.

02:38So we could see that it's not going so easily at the moment.

02:44It's completely understandable for me.

02:47If you don't have the results, the confidence of the attacking players is suffering.

02:55But again, performance, character, creating so many chances against the best defending team

03:06in the Premier League at the moment, conceded two goals in seven games or something like this.

03:10So, encourage us, definitely.

03:12How is he?

03:14We will see, he will have a scan.

03:17I think many players, many managers talked about it,

03:20and I think it's no coincidence if the international players get injured.

03:24It was Alisson at the end, because their programme is just too much,

03:29no break in summer and playing, playing, playing.

03:36Your second World Substitution, what were you trying to change?

03:44Yes, he had a great impact again, with JP, with his physicality, with his runs,

03:49with his will, he's a player who brings a lot of energy.

03:55But it's the same, we always want this from the beginning.

03:59We talked about it last time, it was Ismail Azhar,

04:02but on the other side, it gives me a very positive, a very good feeling

04:07that we have a higher number than 11 who can play,

04:12and this we need, because we see some players like T. Mitchell,

04:17he played every single minute, and Daniel Munoz,

04:21international players, now half of the team are leaving.

04:25For me, X3 was the first time they played together, today,

04:31and they did it well, yes, we should defend the goal better.

04:36We opened the passing line, we were a little bit late,

04:40but the movements, and Schurter scores many goals like this,

04:44because his movement in the box is excellent.

04:47But they did it well, and I think they always get each other known better and better,

04:53and now it's to find the right set-up.

04:57Maybe we have to adjust a little bit,

05:02but in every game, in every single game in the season, we were competitive.

05:09We don't get the results at the moment, this is frustrating,

05:14but there is just one way you can get the turnaround,

05:19and this is stay together, believe in it, work on it, this is what we will do.

05:25And again, after being 1-0 down at half-time and struggling,

05:31you also could get a 3-0, 4-0 or 5-0, but this team always comes back.

05:37The basement is here, and now it's our job and our responsibility,

05:43my responsibility and my job, to improve the understanding,

05:49what we want to do in possession, what we want to do out of possession,

05:53to create more and more chances, to be more and more stable in defence.

05:57We are much more stable in defence in defending second half,

06:01and this is what we will do.

06:04I'm sorry to go a little bit off-topic,

06:06but off the field there's been a big court decision this week about transfer,

06:11which completely changed the transfer market and completely changed football.

06:14I just wondered what your reaction to that was,

06:17and the kind of uncertainty it creates for the game as a whole.

06:21To be honest, I just read the headline, I don't know what happened in detail,

06:29because we focused on the Liverpool games already enough to do,

06:33and now it's an international break, so I will take my time and go through it.

06:38I think at the moment it doesn't influence our squad, I hope so.

06:44Alex, go ahead.

06:45I spoke yesterday about Emeric Chiesa not getting too tight in front of goal,

06:50was that an example of him thinking maybe a bit too much when he went through on goal?

06:55Oh, yes, but it's the same, he has to go through this period.

07:03Because it was really well played, JP did it well,

07:06made pressure and found the passing moment at the right time,

07:09and now Ebs will watch it.

07:12The entire near post was open, but he didn't see it,

07:16and he missed several chances, and now it's supporting him,

07:22and he gets our support in this, because he's the one who is thinking about it mostly.

07:31So, yes, at the moment we're also in a great situation with JP and Eddie.

07:39I expected JP to pass, he's a great guy, great character,

07:43because when you are benched the first time and then you come in

07:47and you have the chance to take the finish,

07:49even then you see your team-mate giving him the finish,

07:55when Eddie had the finish on the edge of the box,

07:58it shows again that JP is a great guy.

08:00We need this competition training, everybody will get the support,

08:07and then we will get the results. We will get it, we will get them.

08:12So, really, this game today gives me a lot of confidence for the rest of the season.

08:19I think it was a little bit different after the Everton game,

08:23but today gives me a lot of confidence.

08:34Yes, it is. I think when he's in the rhythm he defends it.

08:39I don't know when he played the last time, over 85 minutes,

08:42he had no pre-season with Chelsea.

08:44When he arrived he was injured and now he's been training for two weeks,

08:47and for this I think he played really well.

08:50He won a lot of duels, he showed that he's a very good player.

08:59In this situation maybe he didn't have the rhythm,

09:03but if he makes one step earlier to the ball he clears the situation,

09:08but not blaming him.

09:11So I'm really pleased with his performance today.

09:17No, it was the eye doctor.

09:19So let's see, we'll have a scan tomorrow.

09:24We hope of course that it's not too serious, but I don't know at the moment.

09:33Jürgen, you said on TV that you're more concerned about your country,

09:37about the performance of Christophe Payet.

09:41Can you elaborate on that?

09:43About the confidence, I was asked about the confidence.

09:46Yes, about it.

09:48Can you elaborate a little bit on that?

09:52Why are you so concerned for the future of your country?

09:56No, not for the future of my country,

09:59the last elections I followed were in two districts in Germany,

10:05I think it was Sachsen and Thuringen,

10:07and now the election in Austria where in all three elections

10:11the right-wing parties had the most votes.

10:15Of course I voted and I followed the expression,

10:21and very often I think populism is the right word,

10:26populism, especially against foreigners,

10:29and this is what I just don't want, because I'm a foreigner here as well,

10:33and I feel really well, I feel welcome,

10:36and I think this is how we should live together,

10:41how we should cope with each other.

10:44It's the same now, it's the easiest way,

10:50somebody is laying on the ground, kick him,

10:52but I'm always reaching my hand and supporting him,

10:55if a striker or a player misses chances,

10:59you can go, come on, why, why, why?

11:02No, support him.

11:04If somebody in the family has a problem,

11:08you can say, it's your fault, come on, support him.

11:11If it's a friend, it's the same, if it's a neighbour,

11:14you can say, now I'm better than the neighbour,

11:16now come on, support him.

11:18This is how I want to live, these are my values in life,

11:22and if there is a populism or elections like this,

11:29where you say, this is just what worries me,

11:32because I want that we live together,

11:36peaceful, we have enough troubles all over the world,

11:38maybe a little bit too far what I'm talking now,

11:40but I want to live together, peaceful and in the best way,

11:44and therefore it's never ending

11:47when it's against racism or against another skin colour,

11:55against another religion,

11:57so it's fine, the solution is better than saying,

11:59OK, leave the country, go out, whatever it is.

12:04OK, thank you very much.
