00:00
Are you pleased with that result and the performance of your team today?
00:03
I mean, 10 minutes back to Leeds and you came away with a 3.
00:05
Are you delighted?
00:06
Yeah, I think it was a good game, first of all.
00:09
A very good game of football.
00:10
Those games that everybody enjoys, for sure.
00:13
Like you said, I think it's positive, it's always very hard to come here and play.
00:19
It requires a big team effort and the players need that.
00:23
Helping each other, competing with each other.
00:26
At the same time, I think, first off, we had good possession,
00:29
we tried and the second half was a crazy game.
00:33
Goalkeepers making huge saves, we had chances, one man left,
00:37
mass confusion, red cards, yellow cards, everything was there.
00:42
Yeah, both teams, both teams.
00:44
I can recall a big save from Sanchez,
00:49
and then the ball goes there,
00:50
a big, huge save from Mats to keep us in the game.
00:52
In the end, we have another one, they have...
00:56
Yeah, yeah, it was a good game.
00:58
It was, I think, including yourself, there were 11 yellow cards.
01:02
Yeah.
01:02
Did you think it was a dirty game?
01:06
Look, I cannot judge the yellow card, for example,
01:10
the yellow card for James Prowse.
01:12
There's no way, he did it for the team,
01:15
because it was 1v1, so he did it for the team.
01:18
What I'm trying to tell at the same time is,
01:22
please, the referees, understand that we that are there,
01:25
on the touchline, on the pitch, it's very emotional, very emotional.
01:29
There are so many things happening,
01:32
so many thoughts, so many circumstances,
01:35
that it's very hard, very hard to keep our emotions together.
01:39
I must apologise for my behaviour,
01:41
but I didn't do nothing that another manager would do.
01:44
It's raise your arm, OK, it's a small issue that you want to discuss,
01:48
and immediately come on a yellow card.
01:51
And then, instead of coming down, you come and all these things.
01:55
I don't know too many yellow cards.
01:58
I must analyse each one of them to make the proper judgement.
02:05
What you made of the incident at the end,
02:07
where Williams pushed Kukurela, Enzo went flying,
02:12
and then a huge fight.
02:14
I was there also.
02:16
I was there.
02:19
You still got in?
02:20
No, no, I went there to try and calm down.
02:24
I went there to try and calm down.
02:27
That's what I said to you before in the previous answer.
02:32
It's very hard for the players to control their emotions.
02:36
Very hard for us as managers to control our emotions.
02:38
Try to put the other way around yourselves
02:42
that are here in the same circumstances.
02:44
There's so many responsibilities inside of each one of our jobs
02:47
that please the referees to understand it.
02:50
Sorry, just very briefly, just on James Ward-Kraus,
02:53
you said there he took two for the team,
02:55
because the foul on Parma, I think it was in the first half,
02:58
was to stop him breaking through.
02:59
The second time it was Jackson.
03:02
The second time was different.
03:05
James is a very experienced player,
03:06
he felt it that he had to grab the ball
03:09
because a Chelsea player was going 1v1
03:11
and then the game would be very hard for us,
03:14
so he took it for the team.
03:16
You have the best defensive wrestler in the Premier League,
03:18
I have to say, in Manchester.
03:20
What do you put that down to?
03:21
Are you evolving a little bit?
03:26
Since the end of last season,
03:27
and the commitment from the first season that we had
03:30
was to improve on that aspect.
03:32
There's no other way to play football in the Premier League
03:34
if you are not solid and compact and strong in defence.
03:37
So the team is doing well on that aspect,
03:42
basically because of the hard work of the players,
03:44
the resilience to put their bodies in front of the ball,
03:47
to compensate, to help to be on defensively.
03:50
And we have to continue,
03:52
we cannot ever ignore the quality of our opponents
03:55
and realise that we have to defend.
04:10
We are trying, mate.
04:11
We are trying so hard to be that one that you say.
04:14
Of course, I'm most happy,
04:16
and now it's a good point for us to go away from home.
04:19
We went away from Chelsea, a tough team,
04:21
a very good team of football,
04:22
and they're doing an amazing job,
04:24
the way they play, the possession, the lines.
04:26
And then, OK, you go to international break in a positive way,
04:30
try to maintain what you are doing well,
04:32
but at the same time trying to correct the mistakes
04:34
and become a stronger team.
04:36
We have to become a better team,
04:38
there are so many things that we have to improve on,
04:40
and we are working very hard,
04:42
and the players are committed to it.
04:44
We just have to keep on going, because it's a very long season.
04:52
Huge, he kept us on the game, he made fantastic saves.
04:57
Sanchez also made saves, so...
05:01
Very well, very well.
05:02
And today, to go away with something,
05:05
it's because Mats did really well for us.
05:09
Yeah, we are worried about our players,
05:11
we are worried about, he's going to be assessed,
05:14
he's going to be on a scan tomorrow,
05:16
hopefully he's nothing, he can join England's squad.
05:18
This is what is important, that he's nothing serious,
05:22
he can join and play, and then we need him.
05:26
We need him, so hopefully he's nothing serious, we're going to see.
05:28
Was it an ankle problem, is that right?
05:29
No, he was in the park, yeah, it was an ankle problem.
05:35
Thank you very much.
05:36
Thank you, sir.
