00:01What was your general verdict on the game?
00:04It felt like you got into some counter-attacking positions
00:07and just couldn't find that last bit quality.
00:09Yeah, I think today I have two feelings.
00:12I'm not really pleased with our performance today,
00:16especially with our, not in general,
00:19a few players I think didn't play 100% for the team,
00:24how we want to play and I didn't like to see.
00:29And I think that's why we got the draw,
00:33because there were so many situations
00:35and we could have won this game.
00:38And I don't forget our start into the season
00:42where it was a little bit similar.
00:44We missed our chances, we missed our opportunities
00:47because of a little bit lack of determination.
00:53And this is what I felt today
00:55and that's why I'm not really pleased with today's performance.
00:58And on the other side, of course,
01:00it's an unbeaten end of the season,
01:03a point record, winning the FA Cup.
01:06So, fantastic season overall.
01:08And hopefully we learn from this game
01:11when we meet for pre-season next year,
01:15that we don't make the same mistakes again.
01:21Do you think maybe it was a difficult game for the players
01:24to get excited for, to get up for?
01:26You had almost a bit of a pre-event before the big thing for Liverpool,
01:31and it just kind of felt maybe...
01:33We always can find excuses.
01:34You know, it's easy to find excuses
01:36and then we would have been relegated.
01:38If we always find excuses, we will be at the end of the table.
01:42So, if we always excuse everything,
01:44and there's always a reason for something,
01:46there's always a reason for missing a chance,
01:48there's always a reason for whatever.
01:50But we prepared in a professional way.
01:53We arrived yesterday.
01:54So, if somebody doesn't want to play today,
01:57just tell me.
01:58He could have stayed at home in London.
02:02But when we go to Liverpool playing here at Enfield,
02:05in front of, I don't know, 60,000,
02:08then I expect 100% focus, 100% determination,
02:12100% commitment.
02:14I think not every single player had today.
02:17And I guess for you it's a general sense of frustration.
02:20Is it ultimately a sloppy goal that's cost the football club
02:23upwards of £3 million?
02:26I don't think about the money.
02:28We're talking about raising our standards.
02:30And that's why a few things I could see today I don't accept.
02:33And this is just my feeling today.
02:36But again, it's maybe a little bit unfair
02:42when you see it in the big picture all over the season.
02:46But, you know, I know why we are now where we are.
02:50And if we have the mindset from today, next season,
02:53we will struggle again.
02:54And this is, I don't want to experience again.
02:57And can I just ask about the Roman SA substitution?
02:59You brought him on about ten minutes later.
03:01Was that an injury or was it due to the way the goal was conceded?
03:05He knows why, and that's enough.
03:08And just on a positive note,
03:11has maybe Sal another goal today?
03:13It's 19 goals in the season.
03:16It's been a pretty sensational addition.
03:18Yes, the goal is, you know, the goal was 100% Crystal Palace football.
03:23We lose the ball, then we go in a great counterpress.
03:25And then it's the habits.
03:27When T Mitchell wins the ball and he knows that our far ten is free.
03:31So we scored so many goals like this.
03:32And then I expect that we are that focused
03:34because you have just time for two or three touches.
03:37And T found him.
03:38T had an excellent game.
03:39T was fantastic today.
03:40And then he runs one against the keeper.
03:44But not everybody had this focus to find the free player with two or three touches
03:48that it's needed when you play against the champion.
03:51And I know that it's not just the individual quality.
03:58It's just we didn't have this focus on everybody.
04:01But yeah, the goal was fantastic.
04:04How it happened and how Ismaila finished.
04:08But again, you can find many of these goals.
04:13OK.
04:14What frustrated you the most, Oliver, in terms of
04:17was it too many good situations that we put to waste in that sort of second trial?
04:21No.
04:22I thought that not everybody played 100% for the team.
04:29There was a little bit of ego trips in a few situations
04:36and that's what I don't like.
04:39So, seeing as we're not finishing on such a positive in that sense
04:43in the performance today, but overall it's been fantastic.
04:47What are your hopes for next season?
04:49What do you think we can achieve with this team?
04:51I don't know how the team will look like next season.
04:55In three months it's the transfer window open.
04:58Nobody knows what happens.
05:00I think we have not reached our ceiling as a team.
05:09Definitely not.
05:10But therefore it needs really hard work and also always being ready to invest
05:17in every single training and every single game.
05:19We'll have a noise off.
05:20Now it's not thinking about football for a few weeks and then prepare
05:24to be ready for the start of the season.
05:27And then, again, I never think about which position we'll have
05:33at the end of the season or whatever.
05:35It's just how can we raise our performance.
05:38And, again, in every single game I can see enough to do.
05:45It doesn't get boring.
05:47Okay.
05:48Okay.
05:49Thank you very much.
