00:00Pep, your players aren't used to losing one game, never mind three. What have you said

00:07to them this week?

00:08It's different competitions.

00:14Have you had to reassure them a little bit? Bernardo, for example, seemed very down after

00:19the game on Tuesday.

00:20I don't think so. Of course we are not used to playing three games in different competitions,

00:28but it's football, it's happened, so we know the reason why we are struggling. We are looking

00:36forward to the game and after the international break. After that, a few players will come

00:42back better and recover. For all the problems that we have, the little problems that every

00:50player has, we will solve it. I hope so.

00:53They say you learn more about your players when they've lost a game than when they're

00:57winning. What have you learnt about your players this week?

01:00Absolutely nothing, because I've known them for nine years, so they've proved many times

01:04what they are capable of. No change of opinion I have to them. It's part of that, it sometimes

01:12happens. I have to understand it.
