00:00I think they have to think about the second leg and they have to think more

00:04about the first 20 minutes than the rest of the game because the game is going

00:08to be really tough. There is no goals away so anything can change and that is

00:14my message to the players and we have to to think about now from for for

00:19Brantford and then for the second leg I appreciate that you've got to be quite

00:27cautious because there's a second game at Old Trafford but is that the best

00:29performance, best result of your time in charge here? No I think it's the best

00:32result because nobody expects this result but again I think you saw two

00:39games today, the first 25 minutes and then after the goal and also with the

00:43sent-off the game changed. That was a good thing, also a good thing in the second

00:47in the second half we try to be cautious, we create chances but the most

00:53important thing is that the opponent didn't get shots, many shots to our goal

00:58and that was really important.

01:04Thank you. Hi, it's I think it's often missed that it's actually quite a young

01:10squad that you've got but tonight thinking Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, Jaime

01:15Maguire there was huge performances from some of the more experienced players how

01:19important was that tonight? It's really important and they have to step up in this

01:22moment so they are experienced they are international players they they already

01:28played this this moment so they have to step up in this moment that's that's why

01:32they are playing here and they are the most experienced players in this in this

01:37team so I think that is natural.

01:40Hi Ruben, when your team play with such fluency like they did tonight and the sort of

01:46fearlessness, how is it that they can lose almost half their games in the Premier League

01:50and then come out and put a performance on like that?

01:53I think it's it's hard it's hard to to explain we improve in the last games I don't look

01:59just to the results we had some games that we won that we didn't play well and some games

02:04that we lost but we played well and sometimes you just need a little bit luck if you imagine

02:09the first 30 minutes they have chances to score if they score it's a different game so we

02:14need to understand this these moments and when we score we we felt more more free to play so I

02:22know I know that it's hard it's a different competition I know that it's hard to

02:25understand but sometimes it's the context since the way we see things we can win

02:29this competition and in Premier League we are just suffering after game after game so

02:34and try to manage these both things with some injuries sometimes it's hard even for the players

02:39Yeah hi Ruben you talked about the first 30 minutes and in that time Victor Lindelof made a

02:48really big goal and clearance I mean can you how important was that and for him personally you

02:54know he's obviously not been in the team all the season maybe leaving in the summer what kind

02:58of a moment was that for him yeah it's it's it's a moment but we need to focus on on the on the second

03:04leg and then in the final if you if we get there was a moment important for him but also he's also an

03:11experienced player he's fighting for the team and these guys want to to give something to our fans

03:16because you can see every week no matter what happened in Premier League our fans you feel always

03:21the support so we want to give them something so was important moment for him but more important

03:27for the team

03:29Ruben what can you say about Harry Maguire he had a tough time before you came to the club got himself

03:35back in the team scored winning goal against Lyon and then players are you know an important part in

03:40the in the first goal tonight I think it's it's a good lesson for all the players that sometimes you have

03:46some moments that you think that I will never recover from this or or that anything can happen

03:52and I think the it's not just Harry the the the history of this game can tell you that it looks like

03:58really really we are struggling a lot and then everything changed and everybody's going to say was

04:03maybe the best game of the season so we have to understand that some the players have some moments in

04:11in their life that they have to just to continue to work everything can can change

04:16uh good evening Ruben we ask you so much about Rasmus Hoyland and the goals and the numbers but

04:23tonight what his contributions were won't come up on the statute you know he wins the penalty he plays

04:28a part in the third goal so how pleased are you for him and can that be a sign that he can show that

04:34improvement and that will equate to goals eventually I think it's hard to say but I think it was the best game

04:40that he he had with me as a coach he helped a lot the team he he secured the ball and then he makes

04:48the runs and then decide quite well so he's a good moment for him but like like Harry he needs to

04:54understand everything can change so let's focus on the next one this is in the past we have a tough job

05:00to do in on sunday and especially on thursday
