00:00The perfect start, then similar to the weekend with how the team came out of the second half,

00:06lots of pressure to deal with and then obviously not the same result this time?

00:11Oh yes, it was a perfect start but already in the first half I think we played,

00:18it looked like we played with too much respect, a little bit too cautious in finding the moment

00:25to press them and also especially in possession, we lost the ball too easily, we played too slow,

00:29we didn't demand the ball, we didn't support each other in possession how it

00:35needs to be that you can also release from their press and so I mentioned it before the game in

00:43the press conference, we need a performance on our top level, then it's possible to win here

00:48and I think, we have to be honest, it was not a performance on our top level, we missed several

00:54percentage out of possession, several percentage in possession and then you lose here and what's

01:01positive is we scored two goals, it's not so easy to score two here but that's maybe let's say now

01:08at the end a little bit frustrating because when you score two at Emirates it should have been at

01:11least a penalty shootout but we missed and overall it's a deserved win for us now today.

01:16Have you seen the replay of the second goal from Arsenal?

01:28Yes, I've seen it, I think it was offside but we are, everybody knows this and

01:34it's they had too many chances in second half, we gave them too many chances where they could score

01:38and when you give them so clear chances, Dean Henderson saved two, three great balls and then

01:44it's just a question of time when they score and this happened today, every situation was quite

01:49similar and when they found the gaps we shifted too slow, we made there too many mistakes, we

01:56didn't get pressure on the ball, we were a little bit, that's what I mean, for me too cautious,

02:01it was half attacking, half being in shape and then they punish you and it's too good.

02:07Do you think it was okay, it seemed a little bit tired in the second half?

02:11No, no.

02:14Gentleman there from London.

02:16Jürgen, Kamada played in the third minute at Brighton and he played tonight again and

02:22he played, he's not considered in a difficult situation, he had to come on before but

02:28obviously he hasn't hit the ball that he showed at Frankfurt or that about Lazio,

02:35what do you think he's missing at the moment, maybe there's something he could do?

02:39I know that he's a little bit unlucky to start here and at the beginning we all,

02:46we didn't get the results, he played many minutes then he got the red card,

02:49was suspended for three games and a long time to wait and now he's fighting back,

02:56he gets better, he had a very positive impact last game and today it was tough for him but

03:04he tries everything, he tries to improve, he knows how we want to play so

03:09of course he also had to adjust to the physicality of the Premier League

03:16but this is what will happen and so I'm very calm that he will get better and better.

03:24What did you tell him when you sent him on to the pitch today?

03:29Some tactical things and then especially, he knows everything, what he has to do and find the

03:35spaces, move the ball there because his football intelligence is very, very good but what I

03:43mentioned before, I think we didn't have the best support of all the players, sometimes we left

03:48them alone and then it was too much pressure and we lost the ball too easily.

03:52Did you feel that your team gave Arsenal a bit too much space on that side today?

04:14No, I think we missed him especially in possession because we had so much space

04:18behind their full-backs because they followed our 10s into the midfield and then we have to

04:24attack this with full determination and I think here we were a little bit too cautious but again,

04:32no one to blame, Caleb made his first appearance and here in front of 60,000 and

04:40Thiago also, in the second half, at the end it became better but this is what Daniel is always

04:50there, always making these runs but he won't play on Saturday so a positive decline, he has a head

04:57and cross and an assist but when we play in this shape, of course we need the support from our

05:04wing-backs, with crosses, with being in the box, we had some situations when

05:10this is what you have to do, then you get an overload, if you don't do it then it's always

05:17difficult to create chances in situations and this is what we want to do better on Saturday.

05:24You didn't have too many really clear opportunities in front of goal in the game

05:29but with that in mind you must have been very pleased with the way that

05:31Mateta and Coutinho, two strikers, did finish their chances?

05:35Oh yes, we were very efficient today, that's the positive thing but going there,

05:43preparing the situations, therefore we have to move the ball quicker, too long.

05:48Today we missed some percentage and then it's not enough to win here,

05:55players wanted, they tried everything, no one to blame, everybody wanted but

06:07it was not the best performance and then it's just not possible to win here and it's not that

06:12everybody wanted but we couldn't transform it today on the pitch.

06:17There's a lot of talk about Arsenal's callers and their strength there,

06:21today you seem to need three people, can you explain the thinking behind that?

06:28Ask me this question on Saturday, please, because we play them.

06:32Will you do the same thing again?

06:35Let's see, we will watch them, I think they will watch them and they will find

06:42new ideas and it's always what are they doing, what are we doing and so let's see and

06:50on Saturday I will answer.

06:54Arsenal made eight changes from their starting line-up today and they brought players on,

06:58presumably they'll start with a different team on Saturday, do you think that could affect

07:03your team's confidence ahead of this match or have any impact on what happens on Saturday?

07:08We can't influence it, so I think Mikel Arteta won't ask me who should play,

07:15so it's nothing I'm thinking about, it's nothing we're talking about because we don't know.

07:21We know they have a great squad, otherwise it's not possible to play for winning the

07:27Premier League. Last year I think they were two points behind City, I think it was in the last

07:33round or quite at the end, so also when I see they're attacking players today with Trossach,

07:40Abel Jesus and Sterling, fantastic, Marino, everybody I think was bought for, I don't know

07:46exactly, but 40, 50, 60 million, so it's a lot of quality in the squad, that's why they can

07:51compete for winning the Premier League and the Champions League, this is their goal,

07:55so we have different circumstances, but I know that we will do our best, we will

08:05analyse this game and we will learn from it and then we will try to beat them in three days

08:11at home. It's not that easy, I know, but we will try, definitely.

08:25All right, cheers.
