00:00Ruben, I sort of appreciate it's probably the most demanding and intense league in world football,

00:06but if the club bring the £50m down the fielder to the club,

00:13do you not expect that he could be able to play every three or four days?

00:17I'm talking about a guard.

00:18Is it not a concern that he struggles to play back-to-back games in a tight space of time,

00:25or is it just something he's going to have to learn to get better at that speed?

00:29The players will get used to that.

00:32I'm trying to be honest with you guys and I talk openly about the game,

00:36and you are focusing on what I said about Ugarte.

00:40Ugarte was tired because he did a great job against Liverpool, against Arsenal.

00:45And you see it, maybe if you look at the game of Arsenal,

00:49maybe Ugarte and Bruno were the best players against Liverpool.

00:55They didn't play against Newcastle.

00:59I think that happened with all the players here in the Premier League.

01:03They can play, but they don't play the same way.

01:06It's an adaptation.

01:08I think so. I think so. I think so.

01:10And also, it's also my fault.

01:13Because if you lose the timing of the pressure,

01:15if I don't explain well the pressure, it's always lost in that.

01:19And you feel it today. Mateus, with the number seven, was creating a lot of problems for Manu,

01:25because Manu was running against two guys.

01:29It's more my fault than his fault.

01:31He's going to get used to playing in three days.
