00:00The emotions after a defeat brought out a different side to Sunderland head coach Regis
00:06Lebris, but the Frenchman made clear that the process for him remains the same following
00:12any results in terms of analysing where he can make his team better.
00:16It's still the same process. For me, the emotion after a game is still dangerous because you
00:26are involved and sometimes you are happy and sometimes you are not happy. And the analysis,
00:33the deep analysis, the deep video analysis is very useful to understand what went wrong,
00:40especially during that game, and to identify the specific areas we need to develop. It
00:46was the case this week. And the involvement of the players during the, especially the
00:55two last sessions, was very interesting. So I hope that we will have some different,
01:07I think, behaviours from this new experience.
01:12Going into the clash with north-east neighbours Middlesbrough, Sunderland will need their
01:16crowd to be involved, putting emphasis on their attacking players to lift the noise
01:21inside the Stadium of Light.
01:24Yes, it's still useful to bring the crowd with us. So tactically, we can use some choices
01:36to have this support with us. It was the case at Plymouth, sometimes we had the possibility
01:44to run and to play in behind and then you can press, you can counter-press, you can
01:49create chances instead of keeping the ball. So this kind of choices can influence the
01:55balance of the momentum and the atmosphere in the Stadium. So it will be the case against
02:00Middlesbrough.
02:03This fixture has seen several red cards shown in recent times, so Lebris was asked whether
02:08keeping his players' temperament under control would be a deciding factor.
02:13I think we can control the emotion if we are focused on the game. So what we have to
02:21do, have we to do in possession, out of possession, in different moments of the game. It's a high
02:28press, it's a low press, it's a mid-press, the momentum is like that, so maybe we need
02:33to try this build-up instead of another build-up. And when we are focused on the game, I think
02:39we can solve this problem. But as it was the case at Plymouth, sometimes a specific
02:48event can change the rationality, I can say like that. So experience after experience,
02:55I hope it will be better against Middlesbrough.
