00:00
I hope you're well. We'll take a show of hands for questions, please.
00:03
Somewhere to start?
00:07
Somewhere to start, guys?
00:11
It was a good game.
00:14
Really tough in the transitions, but...
00:17
We played really, really good, especially...
00:19
We started really well, the first action they could run, they scored,
00:22
but...
00:23
And that's a fantastic goal, the second one, but after the last 20, 25 minutes,
00:29
we were really, really good, in the second half they had two, three anxious transitions,
00:33
but in general, we made a really good performance, I'm so proud.
00:37
So I like the way we're playing.
00:39
A lot of talk about the schedule, you lost to Manuel in the warm-up...
00:43
And van der Wijn for them.
00:45
And van der Wijn for them.
00:46
Yeah, yeah, yeah, and van der Wijn for them.
00:48
I mean, was this game just another example of the pressures on the players?
00:52
It will be, yeah, we are 13 players, so we are in real difficulty,
00:57
but we have to make the effort for the last week,
00:59
because the guys who played finished most of them with problems,
01:04
so we'll see how is recovery, but yeah, we...
01:09
I think when we are in trouble, like we are, because in nine years
01:12
never had in the situation that many, many injuries for many reasons,
01:15
and never had the feeling when is it...
01:18
In these situations, the players, they make a step forward,
01:23
so they are more together than ever, and we will try to do this week
01:27
and this short time for recovery.
01:29
What will happen with Savino exactly?
01:32
Have the knock in the ATR box, a potential penalty,
01:37
and we'll see tomorrow what happens.
01:40
We'll see tomorrow.
01:41
Because suddenly he was being taken off from the stretcher...
01:44
Yeah, we have to see if it's just a knock or something else,
01:48
it was in the bone, hopefully.
01:51
There's nothing dangerous, but we'll see tomorrow.
01:55
And was the injury situation the reason for not bringing on early?
02:00
Yeah, the plan was before, they didn't play,
02:05
and the game against Santos was so demanding,
02:09
and it's going to come, and I didn't want to take a risk with him today,
02:12
in this competition.
02:15
Sorry to ask about another player,
02:17
Guardiola looked like he was getting a bit of treatment at full-time,
02:21
is he injured as well?
02:23
I don't know, I didn't speak.
02:25
Every time we were in the table, massage, it was too busy, too crowded.
02:29
So I don't know.
02:32
You've got really intense games over the next week,
02:37
like Bournemouth, who obviously showed that they're a really good team,
02:40
then the travel to Liverpool and then Brighton is intense as well.
02:46
When you have the situation with all the squad, it's fine,
02:49
but the situation will be...
02:50
But that's what I said before to your colleagues,
02:52
that it will be a big step forward, all of us.
02:56
Tomorrow we have two keepers and a half to the training session,
02:59
the rest, so we don't have anything else.
03:02
But today Nico played like Nico we met in the pre-season,
03:07
Jacob was really good,
03:09
and Jamal played exceptional as a central defender,
03:14
and it's really good, this competition,
03:16
to use these players, to play this Makati,
03:18
what a game he played.
03:20
Neve won, and Guido Kovac in the second half was amazing,
03:25
and Bernardo as well.
03:27
Rico, the only player we cannot rest.
03:29
We would like to rest, but we cannot do it.
03:33
I'm really pleased with what I've seen, honestly.
03:37
Really, really pleased.
03:38
Last season against Newcastle happened the same,
03:40
played a first good half, the second half was not good.
03:44
But today was 90 minutes really, really composed against
03:46
a team that is so, so dangerous, so difficult to handle it.
03:50
Really pleased.
03:52
The other thing is, you mentioned Rico,
03:55
he looks exceptionally tired.
03:58
Exceptional?
03:59
Tired.
04:00
Yeah.
04:02
How are you going to be able to manage that?
04:04
I cannot have an alternative.
04:07
My captain is injured.
04:11
I don't have an alternative.
04:14
Are you likely to have Walker or De Bruyne back in the next...?
04:18
No.
04:20
I think after the international break.
04:22
Both of them?
04:23
Three of them.
04:24
Leo and Jack Grealish as well.
04:28
How is Evo in the dressing room feeling?
04:31
Really good.
04:32
Positive tonight, but he lost two more.
04:34
Ah, for the injuries?
04:36
Yeah, it's tough, it's tough.
04:39
Akanji yesterday, I didn't know it,
04:41
in the last action, felt something miniscule
04:44
in the muscular part of his body.
04:47
And to end the warm-up, he didn't feel good.
04:50
He said, no, I can take a risk.
04:51
I said, no, no risk.
04:53
And Ruben, Ruben is struggling sometimes as well.
04:57
So all of us, play the national teams,
05:00
and, you know, recovery.
05:02
And yeah, it would be...
05:05
He's been getting more difficult.
05:08
But maybe when they arrive,
05:10
it will be all together.
05:11
So that's why the guys who are here,
05:14
making an effort to be with us,
05:16
fighting to be with us,
05:19
and playing with pain and focus
05:23
and leaving 24 hours for us.
05:27
These guys, I will not forget it.
05:30
You said in the past how much you liked
05:32
Bayern for the success of it.
05:33
How did you think he was developing?
05:36
Really good.
05:37
He's a really, really good player.
05:38
What do you like about him?
05:39
Everything.
05:41
Does he remind you at all about De Bruyne?
05:43
Sorry?
05:44
Does he remind you at all about De Bruyne?
05:45
No.
05:46
Nobody's like Kevin.
05:48
In his prime?
05:51
The amount of things that Kevin produces in a game,
05:53
nobody can do it.
05:56
Last one about this place.
05:58
Pep, it's such a long time since your team lost.
06:01
Congratulations.
06:03
Do you remember when it...
06:04
This is the new.
06:05
The new is not loose.
06:07
This whole long time we didn't loose it.
06:08
Of course, with the FA Cup final,
06:10
we were a little bit hungover.
06:13
But, yeah, it's good news.
06:16
I don't like to loose, you know.
06:18
But, you know, this competition is a little bit different
06:24
and I like to see the team, how we behave, you know.
06:28
The courage and the solidarity
06:31
and how good we play.
06:33
I like it.
06:34
Still, I like it.
06:36
It's only that how many plays we are able.
06:38
But we have academy
06:41
and if the seniors cannot be there, we'll do it.
06:45
And we're going to warm up to compete.
06:47
Have a lovely evening.
06:48
Good night.
