00:00
Thank you for waiting everyone. Busy.
00:13
No questions? No.
00:20
Another special day.
00:23
Less pressure than four weeks ago of course,
00:26
when we had to win the game.
00:29
To get those special celebrations.
00:31
Now we knew we would get them.
00:33
The energy in the stadium, how loud the fans were.
00:41
The way the game ended in the last half-hour going down to ten men
00:45
and then seeing such a great reaction from the players and the fans,
00:48
which led to, in my opinion, a deserved goal.
00:52
We deserved to go 1-1.
00:54
These players and these fans hate losing, don't want to lose.
01:00
That's what we saw today again.
01:02
Yeah, I think the word brilliant and our fans goes together.
01:16
How brilliant they were before the Tottenham game,
01:22
during the Tottenham game and afterwards.
01:24
I don't think you see many special celebrations as you saw four weeks ago.
01:28
I don't think you see many of them like we had today.
01:30
So yeah, it's no surprise to me at all that they were brilliant.
01:34
Again, today as they were throughout the whole season,
01:37
as they were towards Trent.
01:39
But maybe it also helped what an unbelievable half he played.
01:44
The passes he played were, if you make a highlight of this,
01:48
probably it's going to take you three, four or five minutes.
01:51
The ball to Darwin was another level, was next level.
01:56
So he deserved it.
01:59
Very happy for him, for everyone in and around the club,
02:03
that things worked out as they did.
02:05
I think everybody could see how difficult he had it after the game.
02:09
And that tells you how hard it is to leave a club like this.
02:12
And that's all we can try to do,
02:15
to make it so hard for the players to leave.
02:18
And many of them stay, not trying to make the decision to go,
02:22
unfortunately for us.
02:23
But it was great for him to have a farewell as he had today.
02:37
Will?
02:38
Hopefully that appetite will be big.
02:51
But that's what we have to see in the upcoming, no, not in the upcoming weeks.
02:55
We will see this when pre-season starts and when we start again.
02:59
A few of them have already shown that they can win multiple times.
03:04
So I'm talking about the ones that have won the league and the Champions League here before.
03:08
And these are also the players that just keep on performing year after year after year,
03:12
even if they don't win it.
03:14
And a few of them now won the league for the first time,
03:16
and they have to show that they have the same mentality as the ones that have won it here before.
03:20
And I'm looking forward to be part of that.
03:24
And, yeah, we know it's going to be tough again.
03:29
It was already very tough this season.
03:31
It's going to be probably just as tough or even tougher next season.
03:34
Because the club that we've competed with this season
03:37
have always, in every window, always invested a lot of money.
03:42
And they're probably going to do so this summer as well.
03:45
And, yeah, we did things differently last season.
03:48
I don't think it has been said a lot, but maybe I'm completely wrong,
03:51
because the one that told me maybe lied to me.
03:53
But he said to me that since Alex Ferguson won the league,
03:56
the last time he won the league,
03:58
not a team has had so many academy minutes
04:01
as our academy players had this season.
04:04
So that's been really special.
04:06
And we didn't do, apart from signing Federico Chiesa last summer,
04:13
we didn't do a lot.
04:14
And that makes it maybe even more special than to win it this season.
04:20
And now we will see if the team needs...
04:23
We can do things better already by ourselves
04:26
without adding any players.
04:27
But if we can, then we will definitely do so.
04:31
We just want good players.
04:45
And ideally you sign them as soon as you can.
04:50
But it's not always easy to sign good players, let alone to sign them early in the window.
04:56
But this club doesn't start working from today onwards.
05:02
Because there is so much hard work being done behind the scenes already this season
05:06
to find out which targets we have and try to sign them.
05:10
I have all the confidence that if we've addressed the right player,
05:16
that we try to sign that player.
05:22
But let's see when that's going to happen and if that's going to happen.
05:28
Because I'm very happy with the squad we already have on the front.
05:31
What do you think you remember most about tonight?
05:34
How passionate these fans are for the club.
05:44
And how special it is to win something, let alone over here.
05:49
I think I could feel today that it was 35 years ago that they were part of it.
05:53
So it's only been five years ago that we won the league,
05:56
but unfortunately the fans couldn't be there.
05:58
Now they were and I think everybody could see what it means for the fans to win it.
06:03
And that is what makes it special and in the end for us as well.
06:06
Because you play football for yourself, for your family,
06:09
but definitely also for the fans.
06:11
And we are privileged that we can play it in front of these.
06:14
Because these ones are special, which we're going to again show tomorrow.
06:17
Because if other teams or clubs show the trophy in their city,
06:23
then there are a lot of people out there.
06:25
Some great videos you can see.
06:27
But I think this is again going to be next level.
06:30
Can we expect more radical changes in the way that the team is structured
06:42
and the way it plays from the evolution that we've seen this year?
06:48
No radical changes you would probably not see,
06:51
because that would be a bit weird if you won the league.
06:54
But I just said that if the whole team stays together,
06:59
we can improve even with this team.
07:01
We need to improve with this team.
07:03
But if we are able to bring new players in,
07:06
then maybe you have to adapt to their qualities as well.
07:10
But that will never be drastically, is that the word you use?
07:15
Because this is the playing style I prefer,
07:19
this is the playing style the club prefers,
07:22
and our fans want to see as well.
07:24
So we try to find players if we think we need a new player
07:29
that can fit this playing style.
07:31
But you always adjust to worse,
07:34
maybe new things you can expect,
07:36
and you try to improve to this season.
07:41
I have a follow-up if I may.
07:42
In the golden era of Bob Paisley,
07:44
which many of us remember,
07:46
Bob Paisley would add one or two players each year to a good size.
07:54
He didn't wait for the side to try and he added those two players.
07:59
That seemed to work incredibly well for Liverpool.
08:02
Is that a model that you would like us to follow?
08:05
Not all of us here were part of that,
08:07
so you need to have a certain age if you were part of that.
08:12
But like I said,
08:15
everybody was a bit surprised that we didn't strengthen the team last year
08:19
and as a result of that we won the league.
08:21
So there's not one thing that is smart to do.
08:25
But if we need to strengthen the team we will,
08:28
because I don't know yet if all the players that maybe didn't play that much this season
08:33
if they all want to stay, yes or no.
08:35
So this is something we will find out in the upcoming weeks.
08:39
And like I said,
08:41
this club has always worked in a way that if they addressed the right target
08:45
we're trying to sign that one.
08:47
And we do it our own way,
08:49
so we're not hurried or rushed by what other people say.
08:53
This club really knows what they are doing.
08:57
And that's the same what we're going to do in this summer as well.
09:01
Last one to see is an Ali Kay. Make it good.
09:03
Congratulations.
09:04
I was just going to ask you about your meeting with Jürgen Klopp.
09:10
How did that happen?
09:12
Did you see what the trade went?
09:14
Yesterday?
09:15
Yeah, that went well.
09:18
I don't think we've met before.
09:21
But we spoke to each other already a few times.
09:24
And yesterday time was limited because these last days at the club
09:28
everybody wants to speak to you.
09:30
And a lot of things have to be done.
09:32
Media is, by the way, one of them.
09:35
So – but I did have some time for that.
09:39
We might meet each other maybe the upcoming days once again.
09:44
And maybe even if I can leave this room now I have some time to speak to him again.
09:49
Thank you, everyone.
