Okay, who wants to get us underway?
00:27
Davide?
00:28
Congratulations for the win. First win in five games. What has changed?
00:33
Yeah, as you said, a win game after five games where we didn't win is complicated.
00:42
But I think in the five games that we didn't win, the performance was always there.
00:46
I said already many times that probably the problem has been inside the box,
00:50
where we could be a little bit more clinical.
00:53
Tonight was important to win the game. I think the first half, 40 minutes,
00:58
the team was brilliant, scored goals, created chances.
01:01
And then it happened again, the same thing that already happened in the last four or five games,
01:05
that when we conceded, we lost a little bit of confidence.
01:09
Then in the second half, I think, again, we controlled the game,
01:13
we scored twice, we could have scored more.
01:16
We are happy for the three points.
01:19
In the front.
01:20
Hi, Enzo. Trevor Chalobah was brilliant today.
01:23
How good is it to have him back with the squad?
01:26
Absolutely. He was very good, I said already.
01:29
The reason why he's back is because we are sure that he's going to help us.
01:32
And tonight he showed exactly what he's capable to do.
01:37
What exactly does he bring to the team?
01:40
First of all, he's a strong defender, he's quick, he can defend in behind,
01:45
he can defend forward, he's aggressive.
01:48
But we already knew, so this is the reason why we called him back.
01:54
Enzo.
01:56
How bad are the injuries to Enzo Fernandes and Romeo Gaviria?
02:01
Romeo is more important than Enzo.
02:08
We don't know yet how long they're going to be out.
02:13
Hopefully not too long.
02:15
Was Renato Vega left out because he's getting transfer interest?
02:19
No, because it was a technical decision.
02:23
We prefer, for instance, Ty, thinking that only Jadon was a winger on the bench
02:29
in case we need to change both, and then we changed both.
02:31
The reason why was just for that.
02:34
Tom.
02:35
Enzo, can I ask you about your performance in Man Utd today?
02:39
It still feels like you could have made some improvements
02:41
on this decision making in the final third, but you were pleased to score the goal.
02:45
Yeah, he scored the goal. As you said, he can improve in the last third.
02:49
But probably after he scored the goal, he stopped playing.
02:53
This has to be one thing that we need to improve immediately, absolutely.
02:58
In terms of never happy if you score one or two, always you have to go for more.
03:04
And I think after he scored the goal, he stopped a little bit to play
03:08
and it's something that we need to improve.
03:11
Simon.
03:13
Just a quick clarification on Nadia Fernandes.
03:16
On Friday, you said they had muscle fatigue.
03:19
Is that the case?
03:21
Muscle fatigue or muscle problem.
03:23
So we need to wait a little bit.
03:25
Was that something they picked up in training?
03:27
No, no, no. Both against Bormov.
03:32
Romeo 1 was the yellow card, I don't know if you remember.
03:35
The yellow card.
03:36
And then so against Bormov, 92 or 93 minutes.
03:40
Just the last minutes of the game.
03:41
And just generally, how important was it to win tonight ahead of Manchester City?
03:46
Because they started to find their ball as well,
03:49
and it was their top four rival.
03:51
Absolutely. Very important.
03:52
Very important to win, always.
03:54
But especially tonight, after five games without a win,
03:57
I think it was not easy.
04:00
And then again, we scored first, then they drew,
04:04
and I think the reaction was much, much better.
04:06
Jack.
04:07
Just on Nonny, that's not the first time you've mentioned either him scoring
04:11
and then dropping off a bit or dropping off in training.
04:14
Do you feel your message on needing to improve his mentality is getting through?
04:18
No, we just try to always help them to improve.
04:22
And I think after the goal, probably also he was a little bit tired, I don't know.
04:27
But it's the moment that we need to go for more in that moment.
04:33
And we'll finish with Peter.
04:34
Hi, Enzo.
04:35
Do the injuries to Salavia and Fernandes affect what Giuseppe Olmen
04:40
may be able to do in this try for women?
04:42
Will that move him ahead of his time?
04:45
No, we are not going to take a decision on Keane
04:47
because of Romeo Enzo, their injury.
04:49
Absolutely.
04:51
I said already a few days ago, a few weeks ago,
04:54
that the intention is to keep Keane.
04:57
Then, because we are in January, anything can happen,
05:00
but not because of some injury.
05:03
We take some decisions.
05:05
Also, tonight Levi was out.
05:08
Cole played with a small problem in his ankle.
05:13
For me, tonight has been one of the best games from Cole
05:18
in terms of showing leadership in the moment of the difficulty of the team.
05:23
He showed himself in the second half.
05:25
He was asking for the ball.
05:28
In the moment, you have to see that kind of player,
05:30
not only when they score a goal or give assists.
05:33
They are very important for the team.
05:35
Also, when the team needs them, they are there.
05:38
And Cole, with a problem in his ankle,
05:40
he was there in the second half asking for the ball.
05:43
He was a little bit the leader of the team in that moment.
05:47
So we are very happy with Cole's performance.
05:50
Overall, the situation of the injury is this in this moment.
05:53
We try to adapt and find a solution.
05:55
Okay, thank you.
