00:00When I started here there were many things that have been told to me,

00:03but one of them was that Jürgen hated the 12.30 kick-off.

00:07Today the team shows that we hated the 12.30 kick-off

00:11because we were not in the game in the first half.

00:14And the second thing people told me is that there are no easy games in the Premier League,

00:18and we show that today if you play against a newly promoted team,

00:21and they can make such a fight out of it as they did in the first half,

00:25they can make it so difficult for us, then there's probably a lot more to come.

00:29And that's why it's also important for us to have weeks like the upcoming ones,

00:33where we can work with the team to prepare them even better than we prepared them today,

00:38because the first half was not good enough, the second half was a real good performance.
