00:00Well, at the moment, the line-up, linesmen, you know,

00:04rise the flag, I said,

00:08at the first instant, but it's a corner, it can be offside.

00:11And that's a view on the situation, the moment the impact from John,

00:14Sa is watching perfectly the action, so it's well given.

00:18Bernardo Silva, of course, ends up not in Jose's line of vision,

00:22but, I mean, you can't get much closer than he was.

00:24Their feet were probably a yard apart.

00:26Managed to remain fairly calm, managed to

00:28try and keep the subs away from the officials and keep the staff away from the officials,

00:32because it felt like a tough blow.

00:34There's no chance that people are doing things against Wolves on purpose, let's be clear.

00:37But is there something in the subconscious around decision-making or,

00:41without even knowing it, are you more likely to give it to Manchester City than Wolves?

00:45My focus and my senses are heightened when we're facing Man City and Pep and Haaland.

00:50Are the officials the same, you know, when it's Haaland and when it's Manchester City?

00:55Is there something in there that's not on purpose that influences decision-making?

00:58And I've spoken to them about this as well, and they obviously guarantee me there isn't.

01:02But they are human, they are human,

01:04and Manchester City scoring a last-minute winner is a big thing.
