00:00you know, the impact it has on them.

00:01Some of them, you know, it's obviously 17 years

00:03since our last trophy, 41, in Europe.

00:06Some of them have never had a night like this.

00:08So, you know, but, you know, it's a reward for them.

00:12And we've got a really young group of players.

00:17And, you know, you can talk to them about success

00:22and what it means, but until they feel it,

00:25you know, it doesn't become real.

00:28And I've got no doubt that all those boys tonight

00:31having this feeling will want this again.

00:34And to get it again, they're going to have to make

00:36similar sort of sacrifices.

00:38They've climbed a mountain now, so they know what it takes

00:40to sort of get to where we are.

00:42And I think that does.

00:44It accelerates the opportunities to build a team

00:48that can be successful.

00:51And today, you know, I still feel there's a lot of work

00:54to be done.

00:55I think that's quite obvious, but not as much work

00:58because people may think, you know,

00:59people can bang on about our 20 league defeats

01:03and where we are, but, you know, they're missing the point

01:06of what we're trying to build here

01:07or what I'm trying to do anyway.

01:08And I really feel that tonight can, you know,

01:11be a great platform for us to kick on.

01:14In this success, he kept believing in us.

01:16The whole stuff kept believing in us

01:18and he just made sure we stayed together

01:19and we as a group, we stayed together also

01:22and we kept believing.

01:23And till the day of the day, we kept believing

01:25that we could create history with this group

01:28and we did it today.

01:30I'm always open.

01:31If the board and the fans feel that I'm not the right guy,

01:33I will go in the next day without any conversation

01:36about compensation, but I will not quit again.

01:39I'm really confident on my job.

01:42And as you can see, I will not change nothing

01:44in the way I do things.

01:46To understand that it's tough for a club like ours

01:48not to be in the Champions League,

01:50but we have to use the other side.

01:52So if we have more time, we have more time to think,

01:55to work during the week and to be better in Premier League.

01:59That will be our focus with you guys.

02:01We didn't perform perfect today,

02:04but we were better than the opponent

02:06and the opponent also played.

02:08In the second half, we tried everything

02:10with the centre defenders, with the players wide,

02:13the crosses, go inside the box.

02:15So I think I'm really honest with you guys.

02:17So I expect the same.

02:19And there are some days that I said

02:21that we were really poor.

02:23I think today was not the day.

02:36We're happy.

02:49I'll be right back.

02:49Bye.

02:53Bye.

02:54Bye.

02:59Bye.

03:02Bye.

03:03Bye.

03:04Bye.
