00:00 Erik, you said the club are back to where you want to be.
00:03 That's obviously in terms of results.
00:05 I say we are in the right direction.
00:07 Yes, results, three on the spin, but performances.
00:10 Christian Eriksen said the balance is still not there
00:14 and the routines are still missing.
00:15 So how do you get that back?
00:17 I said we are in the right direction and we have a way to go.
00:21 I see positives. I see also negatives.
00:24 Probably what Christian is referring to.
00:28 So we are not consistently in possession
00:32 on the level where we can be, where we show in games
00:38 we can be, like for instance, Arsenal away.
00:41 Also the first 30 minutes in Bayern Munich away.
00:44 But we should do this on a consistent base.
00:50 But we're, for instance, pressing.
00:53 We are quite good.
00:55 We have the most ball returns from the whole Premier League.
00:59 We have the most middle returns from the whole Premier League.
01:03 So there you see, in our defending organisation, in our pressing organisation,
01:07 we, and I said that before the season, how we wanted to play.
01:13 Yeah, that is us.
01:14 But then we don't take the benefit in the attacking transition moments.
01:19 And we should be because we have, I think, the abilities in our team
01:25 and the players there who can take benefit from it.
01:28 So we paid some attention to it.
01:32 And this has to grow.
01:33 This has to progress.
01:36 Then games will become more easy.
