00:00Hi.

00:02Hi Dave, how are you?

00:03Good to see you.

00:06Hi everyone, hope everyone's well.

00:10Just about.

00:11Just about? You're good? No?

00:13Yeah, yeah.

00:14Okay, good.

00:15Camera's all in the back.

00:17Good, we'll kick off with a normal live section,

00:19then we'll go into a 10.30 to 9.

00:23If we're ready, we'll kick off with Gail from Skype.

00:26Afternoon.

00:27Afternoon.

00:30How has the mood lifted amongst the players

00:34after what you did on Tuesday night?

00:36And how helpful, given what awaits on Monday?

00:40Yeah, obviously it was a great night for us.

00:43An important competition that we have a lot of hope on it.

00:47And the manner and the way we did it, obviously,

00:50lifted everybody.

00:52That's the past, unfortunately.

00:54So it's about what we do today,

00:56the preparation for tomorrow,

00:58and try to replicate a great performance again on Sunday.

01:01There was a lot of brilliant things you did.

01:05Was the toughest thing having to take Miles and his skill

01:09in that first half?

01:11What was your thought process?

01:13Did you get a chance to talk to him about it?

01:15And how much do you have to work with him

01:19to make sure this is the next part of his process and progress?

01:23Because I know he's quite protective of you.

01:26Yeah, I think it was quite clear that we have a liability there

01:30with the yellow card and the next action.

01:33It wasn't a moment to take any risk.

01:35And to learn from that experience,

01:37managing the game for so long,

01:39especially with how important this competition is.

01:41So, yeah, a lesson to learn from him, for sure.

01:44We will support and help him.

01:46But, yeah, the line is really thin in the sport

01:50and he needs to understand that.

01:52Yeah, he's obviously done so much good for you.

01:54Do you get the sense that this sort of player

01:56can learn quickly?

01:58Yeah.

02:01Yeah, because he's very intelligent.

02:03He's extremely demanding of himself

02:06and that's a fine, by the way.

02:08And...

02:09Yes.

02:11How much? It's only £5.

02:12I don't know. It's up to you guys.

02:14Hopefully you have that in place.

02:16£5 would be more expensive than £5.

02:18I think so.

02:19I think it's better for you guys to discuss with your colleagues.

02:22Dinner.

02:23Dinner, yeah?

02:24Good dinner.

02:26But, yeah, I know straight away his reaction is like that.

02:29He's a perfectionist.

02:30He's got a great environment around him.

02:32They are here to learn as well.

02:34I understand that Thomas Tuchel has a shortlist,

02:38but it doesn't sound so short, of 55 players.

02:42Would you expect both Manieri and Marcelo Scurri

02:46to be on that list?

02:48And how do you feel about that

02:50in terms of the next step of their development?

02:53Well, I have no idea.

02:54Obviously, what I read and hear about...

02:57Yeah, the noise that is around it.

02:59So, it's Thomas who will take with his coaches

03:02the decision and we'll support it.

03:04But, obviously, somebody who's nurturing them,

03:07would you like to see that?

03:09Do you feel at this point in their career

03:11that's good for them?

03:12To be around a different environment,

03:14to learn something a bit different?

03:16Well, knowing Thomas and the coaching staff

03:19and the environment they have created

03:20around the England camp,

03:21I think it will be an incredible experience for them.

03:23If that's the case, whenever that is.

03:26That's not my decision.

03:27That will be their decision.

03:28How we manage him here, it's ours.

03:31It's in our control.

03:32Down there, we'll leave it to coaches

03:35and people that are super experienced.

03:37Much more experienced than me.

03:39Well, talking of experience,

03:42Yeah.

03:52It's gone fast.

03:53Probably the number one is with the day

03:55that I was sitting here on the first day,

03:58just fulfilling that dream of one day

04:00becoming the manager of this incredible football club.

04:03And then there are many others.

04:05But the other night was up there

04:07with one of the best because of the way we did it.

04:11A trophy, for sure.

04:12And we won the first FA Cup

04:14after everything we went through as a club

04:16the last few years and the COVID period,

04:19which was really, really difficult as well.

04:24Win tomorrow, this is in this industry,

04:27what happens and try our best.

04:29I have a lot of energy still

04:31and very driven to have more success.

04:38Hi.

04:41Yeah.

05:00Yeah, obviously when you isolate data

05:02and you're looking at certain aspects of the game,

05:05that cannot reflect just the overall performance

05:08of a player for sure.

05:09But he's got the ability to do that

05:12while you are talking about in that phase

05:14and then still arrive in great positions,

05:16in great situations to provide assistance,

05:18to score a goal.

05:19And he proven that many times.

05:21And the other game,

05:22I think it was a very good example of that.

05:40Yeah, we need to look at threats from other areas.

05:50And obviously we lost very important wingers

05:53that provided a lot for us in that final third.

05:56And we're looking to explore other options as well.

05:58The team has this capacity to adapt.

06:01A lot of players with great football intelligence

06:04as well to understand when to move and why,

06:07especially they do certain things.

06:09And they certainly float.

06:11And we saw actions and combinations

06:15that are very difficult to defend.

06:32Yeah, well, I mean,

06:33that's the history of that football club.

06:35And then the players that I have,

06:37the coach that I have,

06:38and watching the game last night

06:40against Real Sociedad,

06:42you come very clear

06:43that they are very capable

06:44to put a really strong performance

06:46and beat you on the day.

06:47So we know that.

06:48We know the difficulty of the match.

06:50And that's how we prepared.

06:53Hi.

06:54You mentioned on Tuesday night, last week,

06:58that we'd gone from a situation

07:00with zero goals in two games

07:01to seven goals in one game.

07:02That should be the beauty of football.

07:04Do you have a few more days

07:05to kind of reflect on that?

07:07Do you have any more insights

07:08into how we did go from zero goals

07:09to seven goals in one game?

07:11Yeah, and as well,

07:12the way the game could have gone as well.

07:14But that's the reality.

07:15If they would have scored,

07:16we were in total control of the game

07:17in one action.

07:18They had the big chance with Saivari

07:20and they hit the crossbar.

07:22That could have changed the game, you know?

07:24And if Imas gets sent off,

07:26it would have been a different game.

07:27So that's why,

07:28that you have to really understand

07:29the context of the game

07:31and how it happened.

07:32We were super effective

07:33as Imas said in the box.

07:34And that's a massive strength,

07:36especially in the Champions League.

07:38And that's why we won the game

07:40with a margin.

07:41That's clear.

07:42It feels like the intensity

07:43of the Premier League

07:44has been very high.

07:45And the Champions League

07:46maybe released some of that

07:47different competition,

07:48something new.

07:49Returning to the Premier League

07:50this weekend,

07:51can you utilise that freedom

07:53and that enjoyment

07:54from that midweek win

07:55to take into Sunday?

07:56Yeah, I mean,

07:57it goes through momentum.

07:59And again,

08:00what the game provides

08:01because we win

08:02is really good in certain games.

08:03But the result wasn't coming

08:05fast enough.

08:07Things were coming

08:09in the right moment,

08:10at the right time,

08:11in the right way.

08:12And that's very helpful.

08:14So every game is different

08:15on that.

08:16Simon, BBC Standard.

08:17Hi, Mikel.

08:18Can I just ask you

08:19about Chido,

08:20who you came up against

08:22on Sunday.

08:24What were your emotions

08:25in the summer

08:26when you left him

08:27to play?

08:28You had him jump

08:29and play a lot of talent.

08:30Yeah, I wasn't too involved

08:31in that decision.

08:32Obviously, when a player

08:33decides that the best

08:34pathway for him

08:35is to leave,

08:36there's not much

08:37you can do.

08:38Very unfortunate

08:39because we want to keep

08:40obviously our players

08:43from the academy

08:44and to be very successful

08:45with the first team.

08:46But in that case,

08:47with Aiden,

08:48we weren't able to do that.

08:50There was a sort of

08:51feeling at the time,

08:52I think,

08:53among some fans

08:54that young players

08:55maybe didn't have

08:56a sort of pathway.

08:57Do you think that

08:58now this season

08:59with Eden and Miles,

09:00the perception has gone

09:01and that there is proof

09:02that if you're a young player

09:03and you've got the talent

09:04you can play in the first team?

09:05I don't know what

09:06the perception is out.

09:07Internally, not.

09:08And the reality

09:09is very different

09:10because those players

09:11are always with us.

09:12I mean, I guarantee you

09:13that if there is a player

09:14there that can help

09:15and impact the first team,

09:16he's going to be with us.

09:20Just on Miles quickly,

09:22is it a difficult challenge

09:24to strike the right balance

09:25with him because

09:26physicality,

09:27riding the challenges,

09:28the winning duels,

09:29is such a fundamental part

09:31of who he is on the pitch.

09:33How do you control that

09:35without taking it away

09:37from his game?

09:39I think dominating

09:41the situation,

09:43that's it.

09:44Control, I mean,

09:45controlling the situation,

09:46you need to dominate.

09:47What space you are defending,

09:48what is the level of exposure

09:49that you have,

09:50is the opponent facing you,

09:51not facing you?

09:52So what is the probability

09:54to win that ball

09:55and when you have to commit

09:56to certain duels?

09:57And there you have to apply

09:58defensive principles

09:59that are very clear

10:01to most of the time

10:03have the best possibility

10:04to win the ball

10:05and don't get any

10:06excess exposure.

10:07If you don't do that

10:08at that level,

10:09big problem.

10:10Just on your other

10:11question about Ricky,

10:12I mean,

10:13he's shown this incredible

10:14attacking intuition,

10:15like he looks like

10:16a centre-forward at times,

10:17the way he moves,

10:18the way he finishes.

10:19Is that something

10:20you knew about him

10:21or is it something

10:22you've discovered

10:23since he arrived?

10:24No, he certainly has

10:25that capacity

10:27to flow in areas

10:28that for a defender

10:29is very unusual.

10:30So that was something

10:31that really caught my eye.

10:32The other one

10:33that is very unpredictable,

10:34sometimes chaotic

10:35and that can be

10:36very difficult as well

10:37from the position

10:38and the eye on goal,

10:39especially in open play.

10:40To be fair,

10:41I didn't have

10:42that understanding

10:43of the things

10:44that he could do

10:45but you see

10:46day-to-day in training

10:47that he's very capable

10:48of creating things

10:49that he's capable

10:50of creating

10:51that he's capable

10:52of creating

10:53that he's capable

10:54of creating

10:55that he's capable

10:56of creating

10:57things that

10:58they are not there

10:59in that moment.

11:00And finally

11:01in the last section

11:02we'll go to

11:03Nicola back there.

11:04Hi, Miquel.

11:05I don't think

11:06this is too personal

11:07but I saw you

11:08yesterday encouraging

11:09us to engage

11:10in your wife's

11:11first book

11:12which must be

11:13very exciting

11:14for you and the family.

11:15I'm just wondering

11:16if there's any

11:17sort of crossover

11:18that you talk

11:19to each other

11:20about the house?

11:21Well, I'm very proud

11:22of her because

11:23she's doing amazing

11:24and she has

11:25the opportunity

11:26to do that right now

11:27and to have the person

11:28that I love the most

11:29in this world

11:30next to me

11:31and giving everything

11:32that he gives to me.

11:33I feel very lucky.
