16:01Just on McAtee there, obviously heís got a lot of games and stuff

16:06but he hasnít started a Premier League or Champions League game for you

16:10and I suspect he wants more play minutes.

16:13Can you understand his frustration and if he does stay

16:16do you think youíll be getting more playing time over the second half of the season?

16:19Yeah, of course, in terms of frustration, absolutely.

16:22I understand. I was a football player having incredible empathy to feel what he can feel.

16:27But the same happens for other players, you know, for the other ones

16:30and they have to be ready and the best.

16:33So we donít want anyone unsatisfied, you know my opinion of that,

16:37but in the middle of the season with the problems that we had

16:40so I had the feeling that we need him, I need him. Itís simple.

16:46Hi Pep, it was in the game against Arsenal earlier this season

16:49that Rodri got injured.

16:51I mean, when you look back does that sort of just feel the moment

16:54that everything changed for you?

16:58The absence for Rodri is massive, but I repeat the same we have done many times.

17:04I have not been just Rodri.

17:08But of course, the best player in the world in absence,

17:11tell me one thing we will not notice, of course we notice.

17:14I would prefer to lose that game and Rodri have it all season, absolutely.

17:19But I think, maybe Iím wrong, I cannot prove it,

17:23the situation that we had this season was not just Rodri,

17:26it was many other things.

17:32Hi Pep, Omar Mahmoudís debut last week against Chelsea

17:35was quite sort of exciting, I think he excited the supporters

17:38with what he produced.

17:40What was it that first sort of drew the club to want to sign him

17:45and how was he settled in in his first couple of weeks?

17:49Well, the club decided to bring an extra player in the final third

17:53with a talent for a scorer and assists and runners and set pieces

17:58and what I said.

18:01So, I think except by a medical report or someone else,

18:05we never went to the winter transfer in this period.

18:10Always we want to go to the end because itís not good in that.

18:13But exceptional situation.

18:14This season is exceptional for many things

18:16and we should intervene to finish the season as soon as possible

18:20but that players donít come for these six months,

18:22come from the next four or five or six years in this club

18:25and everything is going well.

18:27So, thatís why we went there because financially weíre stable

18:32for the last seasons.

18:35Still right now, even the investment we have done,

18:38we have a lot of money,

18:40still right now, even the investment we have done,

18:43we have been profiting net in the last five seasons.

18:46So, thatís why we have done it

18:48and maybe in the future weíre going to continue to do it

18:51because financially the club have moved in the last,

18:54especially five, six years incredibly well

18:56in terms of sales, in terms of players

18:59that make an incredible, incredible performance for the club

19:02that help us to win what we want.

19:05Pep, just on Rodri.

19:09Weíve seen him travel with the squad to Paris last week

19:12and heís been in and around training.

19:14How important is it to keep him close

19:16and kind of as involved as possible

19:18and is there a chance that he will play again this season

19:20or is that out of the question?

19:22Heís positive to Feyenoord at the end

19:24but I donít know, to be honest.

19:26The ACL is ACL.

19:29Always I believe in the injuries, in the long injuries

19:31there is a time that must be respected

19:33because human body, there is a place that can win weeks.

19:37But the human body, ACL is ACL for every football player,

19:41every athlete, so there is a time.

19:43The first month was in Madrid all the time

19:46for the surgery doctors and the physios there

19:48and after I came here and heís here.

19:50Once heís here itís lovely to have him in the locker room.

19:52His vocal voice, his presence, of course itís important.

19:56And when he wants to travel,

19:58I always say to the English players

20:00when you want to come in special places,

20:02of course you can come and itís nice to have him.

20:05Heís good.

20:06But what I said, the most important right now is to recover well.

20:09Still you are not a teenager anymore

20:12but still you have years to play

20:15and itís going to happen if you recover well.

20:18To win one month or two weeks

20:20and after step back for the next season

20:23is not intelligent.

20:24So of course he will love to play tomorrow.

20:27I know that but the bodies are the bodies.

20:31Recovery needs its own time

20:34but itís going really well.

20:36He feels really good and step by step weíll see.
