Did I do that? I think it was you, yeah.
00:15
Sam?
00:16
Hello, Arno, it was a great game to watch,
00:19
are you disappointed to have lost or are you too strong or are you pleased with the point?
00:23
Yeah, I said many times already to the other media that there were moments in the game
00:30
where you thought,
00:31
well, if we can come away here with a draw, that would be a good result.
00:35
But those moments were mainly in the first half,
00:39
and in the second half I thought we were, especially after we scored the 1-1,
00:44
we were really impressive, created so many opportunities, good chances,
00:50
and then in the end, being one minute before the end, being 3-2 up,
00:54
it feels like a disappointment, of course, to drop two points.
00:59
The substitutions worked well, Trent had a massive effect on the game?
01:04
Yeah, I think Mo had a massive impact on the game as well,
01:09
Dom came in really well, Lucio also, but I think in general in the second half
01:13
we played much, much better than the first half,
01:16
where in the first half we had a lot of problems with their intensity,
01:20
with their aggressive playing style, without the ball, aggressive in a good way.
01:24
We tried to cope with it, but every time we touched them we got a yellow,
01:29
so that doesn't really help for us to be intense then as well.
01:33
But to give credit to them, they were more intense than us,
01:36
they forced us to make too many mistakes.
01:41
So it wasn't that difficult for us to be better in the second half with the ball,
01:45
and that's what we were.
01:47
Yeah, maybe it was difficult for them to keep that intensity of the first 45 minutes going,
01:51
and as a result of that or all these things, we dominated the second half.
01:59
Tony?
02:00
You mentioned Mo there, and to the other media you said you're hoping and expecting him
02:05
to continue doing this for a long time, is there any update on that?
02:10
And could you just talk about that second-half performance from him individually?
02:15
I mean, that must have been as good as a one-off performance from him
02:19
and individually you've seen for a while.
02:22
Yeah, it's difficult for me to predict the future,
02:26
but in the long-term future the only thing I can expect or predict
02:31
is that he's in a very good place at the moment,
02:33
he plays in a very good team that provides him with good opportunities,
02:40
and that he's able to do special things.
02:44
And what makes him, for me, even more special is that in the first hour you thought like,
02:49
before we scored the 1-1, you thought he's not playing his best game today,
02:54
and then come up with a half-hour or 45 minutes, I don't know how long it was afterwards,
02:59
with assists, two goals, having a shot on the bar, being a constant threat.
03:03
That is something not many players can do if they've played the first hour like he did.
03:09
So that is also what makes him special, apart from...
03:13
If you just look at the goals, his finish is so clinical,
03:17
he's a special player, but that's what we all know.
03:21
Richard.
03:22
Jürgen, generally on loan, in the last season he had an injury,
03:27
he had a spell where he wasn't scoring as many goals as usual.
03:31
When you came in, were you maybe slightly worried
03:35
that he was perhaps going over the hill,
03:38
or have you been surprised by how much he's got back to his best?
03:42
I've seen many games of last season, but it's always difficult to judge a player if you're not there.
03:50
What I did most was just seeing style of play and team performance,
03:57
and not that much the individual performance.
04:00
And what I noticed from the start, when he came in, how fit he was,
04:03
how ready he was to make it a very good season for him,
04:06
that he led by example from the first day onwards.
04:09
In pre-season, where so many of his teammates were usually played with,
04:14
so the international players weren't there,
04:16
and still be able to work that hard, he did, and train so hard.
04:20
Yeah, and we all saw the quality in the training session,
04:25
so it's not a surprising thing for me that he does so well, until now.
04:32
And there looks to be some frustration from yourself and the coaching staff
04:37
directed at the officials this evening, at times during the game.
04:40
Was it one incident specifically?
04:43
No, I'm not sure. I think it was an intense game,
04:47
and all the decisions are made by the players, by me, by the other coaching staff and by the referee.
04:54
They can have a big impact, so all these small details can have a big impact,
04:58
so you always try to influence where you can, or sometimes you have a bit of frustration.
05:03
But in general I didn't feel we over-crossed the line.
05:06
There were moments in the game where we felt we could have got a free kick,
05:11
there were moments in the game where the Newcastle bench thought they could have had a free kick.
05:14
Yeah, I think it's always like this, and it happens mostly in an intense game,
05:18
where there are so many turnarounds that emotions get,
05:23
not only with the fans but sometimes with us as well.
05:27
But, yeah, I don't think the referee had any influence on the results that tonight.
05:33
Last one, come on, Jürgen.
05:35
Arne, the back-lines are depleted at the moment,
05:37
do you expect to just have slightly more open matches now?
05:40
Because Ibrahimović is out, Radic is out, Simicaz is out,
05:45
is it a bit more natural to have a bit more of an end-to-end?
05:48
Simicaz was already out before we played Madrid and City,
05:53
Conor was out before we played City, and Ibu didn't play City as well,
05:59
and we kept a clean sheet two times against the best teams that have dominated Europe for so long.
06:06
To go away to Newcastle, it's such a difficult game to play,
06:12
and they have so much quality throughout the whole squad,
06:17
but especially up front as well, so that they are able to score a goal,
06:21
that's not a surprise for me, and especially the first one, what a finish that was from them.
06:29
Ours was a great finish as well, but that shot from Isak,
06:33
I don't even know if Kweefe saw that ball, as hard as it was.
