00:00 What do you think of the overall state of the game?
00:29 Since we won't have much time to talk to you,
00:33 we'll ask you about the column you made before the World Cup,
00:38 talking about the state of the game and tactics.
00:42 It seems that everyone has a similar approach to the game,
00:47 it's like a copy and paste that exists in football.
00:50 Do you think that's how the game is developing?
00:53 Atletico's situation was reduced to that, but we talked for hours.
01:02 Now it's very difficult for me to explain
01:08 all that happened in such a short time.
01:13 One of the things I was talking about
01:17 had to do with that.
01:22 I think that today we're preparing very little for the players
01:27 for the games and a lot for the players.
01:31 So, in the end, it doesn't help us to respect the differences
01:38 that each one has, but we look for the same way of doing it
01:44 in any context and with anyone.
01:47 We should have been here for hours.
01:52 That was an article I did with Atletic,
01:54 I was talking for hours and it was reduced to a very small section.
01:58 So to explain all this now, talking about that particular section
02:01 that I spoke about would have been very difficult.
02:03 But one of the things I was speaking about
02:05 was the way I believe that teams are prepared for games.
02:09 Sometimes it's not about players being prepared for individual games,
02:14 it's about the games being prepared for the players,
02:16 and that doesn't help.
02:17 But sometimes teams end up looking the same way,
02:20 despite the context.
02:22 But to continue talking about this, we need to be here for hours.
02:25 We don't have that time, Paul.
02:27 We don't have that time.
02:29 Very long.
02:34 You started with Jeremy Doku today.
02:37 Can you ask why you and Pep decided it would be a good game for him to start
02:41 and what did you think about his performance?
02:44 Yes, he started the game with Jeremy Doku.
02:47 He was at number 11. Can you tell us why you and Pep decided to put him on today
02:53 and what did you think of his performance?
02:56 Well, he's a player who can give comfort on the outside.
03:02 I know there were other players, but neither was Jack,
03:06 which doesn't mean that's why he played.
03:08 He could have played without Jack.
03:12 I think that,
03:15 because the game isn't as fluid and we're not as good with the ball as we used to be,
03:22 the ball didn't get to the ends with a lot of advantage.
03:24 In fact, we changed the team quickly, which was also required by Pep.
03:30 And I was also feeling that way,
03:32 because that way we could get more players closer,
03:34 so we could have them a little more on the inside,
03:37 when sometimes we look more on the outside.
03:38 The boy does both things well. He has both profiles.
03:42 And most importantly, he hasn't missed a single second in the collective effort.
03:49 He's been working hard collectively with everyone.
03:51 It seemed that he had at least spent time with us in the effort.
03:54 Yeah, the reason we played is because he can play really well on the wings
03:59 and today we didn't have Jack, but that's not the reason why he played.
04:02 He could have perfectly played without Jack being available,
04:05 if Jack was available as well.
04:07 I think it was, if you're looking at the way he's played today,
04:10 I think we lacked that fluidity as a team and it was difficult to find him at times.
04:14 In fact, that was one of the reasons why we had him switch wings in that first half
04:20 and that was something that we spoke with Pep about, so they changed.
04:23 And I felt that we couldn't necessarily, we had a lot of players that were playing
04:26 or playing balls through the centre, which is something he can do as well,
04:30 but at times he wasn't able to get as much of the ball as perhaps he could have.
04:34 But one thing I will say, that he never stopped in that collective effort.
04:40 He was always working for the team and the effort he showed,
04:43 it appeared as if, it would seem as if he'd been playing for our team for a long, long time.
04:48 Last one Richard, please guys.
04:49 Hi, good evening.
04:50 I wanted to ask about Oscar Bob's debut.
04:53 Can you explain to us what kind of player he is and what hopes the club has for this boy?
05:00 The club has in store for him the expectation that he has achieved
05:07 because of the talent he has.
05:09 He is a very talented player,
05:11 awake, very awake, in the press and daring.
05:17 He has, he also has the ability to play on the outside and to play on the inside.
05:22 You just have to leave him calm and let him see himself in time.
05:26 Everything else will come, but we think it's a very important contribution.
05:31 Another one from the academy for the first team.
05:35 Yes, so today Oscar Bob made his debut.
05:40 Can you tell me a little bit about what you're hoping for him
05:42 or what the club are hoping for him?
05:44 Yeah, we have great expectations for Oscar
05:47 and he's kind of almost won his place in this side through his talent.
05:51 He's a very alive footballer on the pitch, he's very daring
05:55 and he's someone who can play on the inside and can play outside as well.
05:58 We just need to be calm, we need to give him his time.
06:01 He also has to be patient himself and give himself that time.
06:05 But again, it's another great player we've got that's come from the academy
06:10 and we expect big things.
06:12 Thank you guys.
06:13 Thank you.
06:14 See you.
06:16 See you.
