00:00I didn't know that, yeah, but it tells you that how crazy it was, you know, how efficient

00:11both teams were in front of the goal. It was a spectacular 30 minutes straight away. How

00:19much the team wanted it, you know, the purpose, the determination, the quality that we deliver

00:23to score three great goals in different ways. And then score the fourth one as well in a

00:28very great way as well. But then after that we had a period that individual quality of

00:33them obviously played a big part, 4-2 and then it's game on. You can sense that the

00:38energy has changed and then what's next? So I think it was great to score the fifth one

00:43because obviously that calmed everything down and in the second half we could play a very

00:48different game that it was much suited for us.

00:51No, no, no, it was related to the previous injury that he had in Lisbon and obviously

01:01he did great to be part of that. But with that result and with the state within Eagle

01:06that he's feeling, we decided to take him off.

01:21Obviously, he's a real belief, you know, the more it happens, the more you believe

01:29on it, you can tell straight away the body language of the player, how they communicate

01:33that something is coming up, which is great. And to have various ways of scoring goals,

01:38it makes the team much more unpredictable, the position to have to work on many more

01:43things. So it's a good thing for us.

01:52Yeah, very important. But we had an issue with Gabi, then we had an issue with Ricky

01:58as well. Obviously yesterday we lost Thomas and Mikel and Miles, which was very bad news.

02:05But what I'm really happy about is that Djako has to come in, he does really well. Alex

02:09the same, Jorginho, I think he was exceptional today as well. So that's the level, every

02:13three days we're going to need everybody at their best and it's a good sign that the team

02:17can do that.

02:22Yeah, and the scoring, you know, the fact that they don't know that everybody is on

02:32their toes, that everybody has to elevate the level and earn the right to play. And

02:37when you have the chance, it's the moment to talk. And that's what they are doing.

02:46Sorry?

02:48That's a question for him and his contract, I'm not sure. I don't negotiate a contract,

02:54sorry.

03:06Yeah, we've got some momentum. I think we have some flow back, a real determination,

03:12winning three consecutive matches against three opponents is great. And yeah, we're

03:16going to enjoy tonight and watch a beautiful game of football tomorrow.

03:34We are in a great moment right now, but in football, be on your toes and be prepared

03:39in the best possible way for tomorrow. Because it's so competitive, this league, the position

03:43that we are playing every three days, that's the only thing that you can do. Analyse what

03:48we've done really well, a lot of things to improve still today, go again tomorrow.

03:53Hi.

04:07Incredible. Because it's the hardest thing to do in football. So a player that can deliver

04:12those moments, can impact the scoreline in that way, the value of that is tremendous.

04:18And even if the opponent knows it, he continues to do it and that's a big credit to him.

04:25It's fine. It was fine, yeah. No problem.

04:31Hi.

04:35Sorry, too? Ah, sorry. Well, he's been with Little Niggles in the last few weeks, obviously

04:42he had a very serious knee injury. And he's doing really well, but we have to manage his

04:47moments and today we have to do the same.

04:50Okay, everyone. Thanks very much.
