Can we go first? No?
00:04
Andy?
00:12
Yeah, it was, playing against Real Madrid, playing against Man City,
00:18
teams that have been and are so, so good,
00:23
with managers that have won so many trophies,
00:27
it's always nice to come out in both situations as a winner,
00:31
but the reason why these teams won so many things
00:35
is that they weren't able to win once or twice,
00:37
they were able to win every single three days.
00:40
So we're really happy with these two wins,
00:43
but we also understand if we want to achieve more than this,
00:46
then winning once or twice, even against these big teams,
00:50
is not enough to win anything in the end of the season.
00:56
Andy?
00:57
I wanted to say that was a performance of a potential title winner.
01:04
I think if you want to win anything, and that's what I just said,
01:07
it's not about what you are able to do, but it's more about the consistency.
01:12
So many teams have... Not so many.
01:15
Only a few teams maybe have won from City or Real Madrid once in a while,
01:19
but it's not about winning once or twice against them.
01:22
If you want to win anything, it's all about consistency,
01:25
and these teams, like Madrid, like City,
01:28
but I saw Arsenal yesterday and I saw Chelsea today,
01:31
they are all capable of getting the same winning streak as we had.
01:36
So let's not get carried away by one or two wins,
01:39
it's all about consistency until the end of the season,
01:41
keeping the players fit, keeping them playing with this much energy.
01:45
And like you probably saw today, I only had five defenders available,
01:50
so to win something in the end, that's such a long way to go
01:55
and so many challenges you have to take.
01:58
But it's good that we are capable of winning against these teams in our own style.
02:06
You've already had a number of fantastic performances,
02:09
but in the first half particularly,
02:11
is that supposed to always occur every moment?
02:16
Yeah, especially the combination with the energy we had
02:19
and the energy the crowd had.
02:23
I've experienced already a few nice moments here as a manager.
02:27
Wednesday night was definitely one of them,
02:29
but I think today stood out when it comes to the energy we delivered on the pitch,
02:33
but also the energy the fans delivered for us.
02:37
Yeah, then probably what we all saw is that being only 1-0 up at half-time,
02:42
we would have loved to see a bigger margin,
02:45
but I've said it in many interviews already,
02:48
I've watched this game so many times.
02:51
If I had to play myself, I watched it back,
02:53
so I always made sure I could watch this game,
02:56
and it's always been great games.
02:58
So maybe it's for the fans that were neutral,
03:01
they liked that it stayed 1-0 and it was tight till the end.
03:14
Yeah, they were both out for a few weeks,
03:17
and I've said many times before, it's always difficult to judge
03:21
how many weeks this exactly is,
03:23
because you can think in the beginning,
03:25
oh, it's probably going to be like this,
03:27
and then the end stage of an injury process can always differ a bit.
03:31
But they will not be in the team this week, for sure, both of them.
03:37
And actually, I don't think Kostas will be with us in the upcoming week as well.
03:44
Yeah, these players that we have available now,
03:48
it's important for them now, even more than normally, for them to stay fit,
03:53
and that's also why I took Trent off after 70 minutes.
03:56
He was able to play longer, he played a very good game,
03:59
defended really well again, and was a major threat in attack,
04:03
because I think he was the one that played the ball towards Romo,
04:06
which led to the 1-0.
04:08
But knowing that we play Newcastle Wednesday
04:11
and Saturday at the Merseyside Derby,
04:13
with only five available, we have to take care of them.
04:16
And that's why it was so pleasing to see the ones that came in,
04:19
Joe and Gerrard, and did so well.
04:21
Even Gerrard was in an unfamiliar position for him.
04:26
Just coming from another angle,
04:28
this is the first time Guardiola has ever experienced a run like this.
04:32
As a rival manager, subjecting him to that,
04:35
do you feel any sympathy, or do you just not look at it in that way?
04:42
You feel sympathy or empathy with the managers that are in a really bad place.
04:47
They've lost many games, they're down at the bottom of the league,
04:53
but Pep has won so many things.
04:56
And he's shown so many times already,
04:59
that's why the league is not decided in November or December.
05:05
Last season they were eight points behind Arsenal,
05:08
I think somewhere in February.
05:10
No-one has to feel empathy or sorry for Pep,
05:14
maybe for other managers, but not for Pep.
05:16
He's won so many things and he will be able to bring City back.
05:22
And they're actually still at the top of the table,
05:24
but even more than they are now.
