00:00 "The best team won. The best team on the pitch is going to play the next round of Carabao
00:11 Cup. It's clear that from the first minute, the team that started on the front foot was
00:19 the plan and the players executed well. The players understood the right moments to press
00:25 them as well. The way they set up, or they tried to set up, their full backs were always
00:30 inside. I think from the moments, even from the goal kicks, the way we pressed them really
00:35 high we didn't let them to set well and to start to execute well their build up. It was
00:42 one of the keys in my opinion for us to start well the game and win the confidence that
00:46 we needed.
00:48 During the 97 minutes we were the team with more chances to score that deserved and to
00:54 play better in my opinion. Unfortunately we conceded the goal in one moment that we were
00:58 with 10 men after that incident. In the future we are going to approach in a different way
01:06 because we cannot give the chance for the opposition side to play against 10 men during
01:12 2-3 minutes because of that type of incident. Of course it was the first and it will be
01:17 the last that is going to happen with us and we are going to approach in a different way
01:20 for sure."
01:21 What happened to Marvel?
01:28 "10 actually happened. He went off to change his boot. What can you do to change that then?"
01:39 "Of course the referee should do what he did to keep the game going and of course we have
01:45 to approach in a different way and for sure we are going to do it."
01:49 How do you think Tyreese has been training?
02:01 "They have been training. Unfortunately Ty lost part of the pre-season because he had
02:10 a bad injury last season. We expected him to start the pre-season and do all the pre-season
02:16 with us. Unfortunately the first two weeks he had a little step back and lost part of
02:23 the pre-season. The tour in the United States he lost too. Now he is coming back and for
02:30 the 15-20 minutes I knew if you need him he is going to be ready. He is different, he
02:35 did all the pre-season with us. I have to say he did a very good pre-season. Still a
02:38 really young player but 100 per cent sure he is the present but he is going to be the
02:43 future of this club because we really believe in him. Let's see what we are going to decide,
02:47 if he is going to be all season with us or if we let him go to play more senior football.
02:52 The decision we have to make in the next three or four days but I am really pleased for them.
02:57 You can see the impact he made in the game, even in short spell moments he did it well
03:06 and he is Luke Carries. We really believe he is going to be a very good player for us."
03:10 What was going through your mind when you saw Tete run off? Were you ready to shout
03:17 at him at half time?
03:22 "Of course I would like the players to react in a different way in that moment. Now they
03:34 know what they should do in that moment as a team and they are going to do in the future.
03:38 That's it. Of course it was not the best, of course we are going to talk more about
03:43 it because we considered a goal but even if you haven't considered a goal, with more maturity
03:50 we are going to deal with it in a different way."
03:51 Would you have got a tally-up against all the penalty kickers?
03:56 "The penalty on the decisions from the first five, they were decided already. It will be
04:02 the fifth or sixth penalty kicker in that moment. The last change when Ty inside and
04:12 Raul Rimanes was the idea already about the penalties too because Raul is one of the takers
04:17 of our team and we know he is really capable as a penalty kicker. Of course it was the
04:23 decision. Kenny was already decided it would be the fifth or sixth penalty kicker."
04:27 Was the boot he scored with his own boot or did he just run to the dressing room and grab
04:40 the first one he could?
04:41 "I think it was his boot because when he arrived here the kit man was already with
04:46 his boot for him to change it."
04:48 How pleased are you to get after the break?
05:03 "About the uncertainty during the summer, I think it's normal. Of course I have to
05:12 be calm enough and I'm the manager of this football club and I have to give, even if
05:18 I know what we need, the support we need, what I demand from Asuel. We expect the support
05:27 for us to reinforce the team the way we need, the way the club needs and the fans they deserve.
05:34 But about uncertainty, it's not one defeat, even if it was an arse one, that is going
05:40 to change everything. You are going to see myself and my players touch the panic button.
05:49 But it's not our way, you know what we've been doing. It's not just one or two months
05:54 in this football club, there are already two seasons and how the two seasons went, of course
06:00 we need numbers inside, definitely, and we have not a long time to do it and to put the
06:11 right numbers inside and to be the right players inside too. But we know what we are doing.
06:16 About the reaction, it's a reaction of a group of players that know what they are doing.
06:20 They show the resilience, they show the togetherness that we have and the quality that we have.
06:25 It's not easy after a defeat against Breslau to react the way we did in really difficult
06:30 circumstances against Arsenal. The way we played again with Tangman and all that stuff,
06:37 all the incidents during the match, but the team reacted, showed the resilience and the
06:41 organisation to react and this evening again.
06:45 In a different competition it was important for us to go through and we did it. Of course
06:52 it's always the feeling to play a tournament, to beat a side like Tottenham, it's always
06:57 a good feeling for players and fans.
06:59 Was it difficult for you to watch from the stands?
07:02 It was really difficult. The vision is perfect to analyse the game, I have to tell you and
07:07 you know that because sometimes you are there as well. It's a perfect vision for the analysts,
07:13 for these guys. My place is completely different, I have to be in the touchline.
07:18 Can you laugh about the fact that Richarlison, who you've always been at walk with, has
07:26 barely scored a goal in the last 12 months and he comes up against you and scores?
07:33 He's life. He's a top guy, a top professional. I know and Richardson knows as well. He's
07:43 been working so, so hard to reach what he's already reached in his football career. Of
07:49 course all strikers that need goals, a striker that is replacing a player like Harry Kane
07:56 probably needs to score quick to start to be more confident as well. But Richarlison
08:02 is already the number nine of the national team and he's not just... He's not a bad national
08:08 team I have to say. The Brazilian national team is not so bad and he's the number nine
08:11 of the national team. He's a hard worker guy and a top quality player. I wish the best
08:18 for him, for his future, every time he doesn't play against me for sure.
08:24 Thank you.
