00:00Evening guys, take a show of hands, come to the menu as you can.

00:15Was that a 0.1 or 0.2 drop?

00:19It is, of course it would be better to win, but all travel is all travel.

00:26Always you have been a good performance and always united as a transition team,

00:32before we rise for Arnaccio and play quick.

00:35Robbenos want to try to make a good build-up, a good process.

00:38I think we defended really well.

00:40Defensively, of course, all the situations were linked with Hoylun,

00:44a switch of play and after they are dangerous,

00:46and especially when you lose the ball in the positions where we are not good.

00:50They could run and it was dangerous for that, but always we had our chances.

00:55In the second half, the first 10-15 minutes, it was our best moment,

00:58so nothing to say.

01:00The fact that I saw many good things in the last two games,

01:04and today again in terms of the passion without the ball,

01:07that we lost many times this season for many reasons.

01:11But with the ball, our strength was always in the positional and right spots,

01:16and we lost it today.

01:17We were not in the right position to hurt them more than we hurt them.

01:21But it's fine, we take the point and move forward.

01:42No, it depends.

01:43It depends on how they play.

01:44I played with Wingers last game,

01:46I played with a lot of midfielders, players against Bournemouth.

01:49Today also we played with two strikers a little bit more wider than central,

01:54so it depends when I wake up in the morning.

02:09Yeah, I never lost it.

02:13Yesterday we were training, we tried to practise one concept

02:17to try to hurt them.

02:22We played many times in many years,

02:24teams defend 5-4-1, lose the ball and run.

02:27So we knew that they make high pressing,

02:29and after that they are able to defend so deep and make the transition.

02:35It has been since I arrived here nine years ago.

02:38We want to try to impose from on and off and all the process,

02:42but I think we defend really well.

02:44At home, our home game when we lost 1-2 was completely different.

02:48They make better process than they have done today.

02:52But it was more for the fact, you know,

02:56you have to play in one tempo and be in the position

02:58and have to accelerate the game.

03:00And we could not accelerate it because we were not in the right position.

03:03And that's why today we missed a little bit our tempo,

03:07create more chances.

03:08Of course, Phil had one clear, two or three shoots from Kevin,

03:12one from Omar, and of course they had the chance, especially in transition.

03:17But I think it's fair enough, so one point and move on.

03:21Just asking, Phil had a few chances over the course of the game.

03:26Sorry?

03:27Phil had a few chances over the course of the game.

03:29Obviously, Darby is a little bit behind, but maybe across the line.

03:33What are the chances? To him?

03:35Lack of class.

03:37But it's not United, it's the people, you know.

03:40The people is…

03:42We are so exposed.

03:43The people who is now in the screen, in the World Football Managers,

03:49owners and football players especially.

03:53It's honestly, I don't know, understanding the mind of the people,

03:56being involved with the man from Phil, being involved with that.

03:59It's lack of category, class, and they should be ashamed.

04:04But it's what it is.

04:05So, it happens everywhere, I would say.

04:07Not just in the UK, everywhere.

04:10Pep, how concerned are you about Champions League qualification?

04:14Nothing. Right now, nothing.

04:16Eight games, Crystal Palace, we'll go for it.

04:19You're still very confident, are you?

04:21I prefer to have 10 more points or 12 more points.

04:24In the previous season, there were five, six or seven games left,

04:27we were very qualified.

04:28But it's what it is.

04:29So, it's all transfer.

04:31Always it's difficult for the derby, so we fought and we were there.

04:35And the players gave everything.

04:37It's just the lecture a little bit that we should attack a little bit more fluidity.

04:41We miss it because the people say,

04:43we have to move more.

04:44No, we have to move less.

04:46Move less.

04:48Are you seeing enough of City this season

04:51to make you think you can be back to what you were next season?

04:55Next season, I'm not concerned right now.

04:57Not one second.

04:58So, I'm just concerned about recovering Crystal Palace,

05:02and after the games we had at Everton and Aston Villa,

05:04FA Cup semi-finals.

05:05All the games ahead of us, to win, win, win.

05:07That is what we're going to try to do.

05:11Do you think you needed more offensive aggression from Mateus?

05:18He can become a good right-back for the physicality.

05:20I think he's not a player to play in the middle

05:22because he's not enough clever in the composure.

05:26He has incredible skills.

05:28He's learning a lot.

05:30The full-backs always have a big mistake,

05:33is when the cross for the far post, where you are,

05:35always they are sleeping.

05:37And he defends really well at two or three crosses,

05:39like Bruno put in the far post with Durgu.

05:43His attention has something, the physicality do it.

05:46But, yeah, he can play in that position.

05:49He helps us a lot.

05:50When you start in the season,

05:51and you tell me if you're going to play Mateus or right-back,

05:54and Nicolette back,

05:56you would tell me what I'm talking about.

05:58But this is what it is.

06:00Manu Kanji is coming back.

06:02Of course, you have two young central defenders.

06:04But the last two games, three games,

06:06in the back four today, again, they were excellent.

06:09Ruben was incredible, Josco as well.

06:11Nico, except the last 20 minutes, was tired

06:14because he's young.

06:16Playing with three or four days is always new for him.

06:19But he played really, really good.

06:21And, yeah, we built from that.

06:26Obviously, it's been a difficult season

06:29for the team and individuals

06:31and there's lots of different reasons too.

06:33Just back on Phil again,

06:34he's had such an impact on this fixture

06:37for several seasons,

06:38especially last year, I just don't think...

06:40Just today, he looks like a player

06:42and has for a long time this season.

06:45He looks like he's carrying you away,

06:47he looks like he's lacking a lot of confidence.

06:50No, I'm not agreeing.

06:52When the team is not playing in the level,

06:54the standard we had looks like,

06:56and everyone looks like, you know, not what we were.

07:00No doubt, I see every training session,

07:01the passion they put, his smile on his face.

07:03This is what I want.

07:04His smile on his face and playing like...

07:07Of course, the impact has not been,

07:08but not from Phil.

07:09If you see the numbers in the last four, five, six years,

07:11the many players that are here,

07:12in terms of goal assists,

07:13this season we dropped incredible.

07:15In all of them.

07:16It's not one.

07:17One will be easy.

07:18It's all of them.

07:19And that's why we were struggling, you know,

07:23to create or win games and so on.

07:25But the quality is there.

07:26And sometimes, you know,

07:29in a long career,

07:30always you have seasons that you are not, you know.

07:32Maybe in a season,

07:33right at the peak,

07:35in terms of the best player of the Premier League.

07:38He won the Premier League in the last games.

07:40Last game against, you remember,

07:42was Ham.

07:43Won the game with two goals.

07:45And his impact was incredible.

07:47And he will be back.

07:48He will be back.

07:49And you know how fouled.

07:51And at the end,

07:52had the chances,

07:53when shooting the first half,

07:54these chances that normally feel,

07:57you make when the ball is in the net.

08:00And the control was not perfect.

08:03Or the defender was quick.

08:04It's happened.

08:05But now it's not about the judge here and there.

08:07Okay, we are who we are that season.

08:09We knew it.

08:10And okay,

08:11FA Cup semi-finals,

08:12eight games left.

08:13And everyone is going to give everything.

08:16Seeing and learning for the guys

08:18who played every single game.

08:19The guys who come from the bench.

08:21How we impact is in the game.

08:23And this kind of stuff,

08:24for the future decisions.

08:25It is going to do.

08:26Thank you guys.
