00:00The international break always gives you a chance to assess, take things in and then look forward.

00:07Going forward to this next phase of the season, what's the biggest improvement you want to see?

00:12Some people point to defence, but what do you feel it is?

00:16I said many times, we can attack better and we can defend better.

00:22But in the Premier League there are only four clubs, or five probably, that concede less than us.

00:28So that means that probably also defending, we are doing quite well.

00:32Now if people think that we are not going to concede a goal, I said many times, it's PlayStation, it's not football.

00:38We are going to concede a goal until the end, for sure, 100%.

00:42And we decide in which way we concede the goal.

00:45But at the end, you are going to concede a goal, yes or yes.

00:48But there are just four or five clubs, teams that they concede less than us.

00:52So I don't know why people are thinking that we are defending bad.

00:56Now if you ask me, for sure, 100%, there are many things that we can do better defensively, no doubt.

01:01But also offensively, in both situations.

01:04Do you know your best defence? Because the centre-backs have been fairly consistent, but your full-backs have changed quite a bit.

01:11Yes, but also we changed full-back in the way we want to play, because we use the full-back a lot.

01:16We don't move the centre-defender. Hopefully one day we can start to move the centre-defender.

01:21But in this moment we are moving the full-backs and probably this is the reason why we are changing them.

01:28But overall it's not just about the defenders, it's the way we press and we defend all together.
