00:00Obviously disappointing to lose at the end, but you must be pleased with the performance.
00:06Yes, as you said, really pleased with the performance.
00:09I think today we've missed a big chance to take something from the game.
00:14Probably the game was quite level from both sides, I would say.
00:21That means that we've played really well to play a quite level game against Liverpool.
00:25The key not to take the points, obviously, is to concede four goals.
00:29I think today was a game to concede four goals.
00:32When the momentum was for our side, we scored the 2-2.
00:38At the end, it's a kind of poor goal to concede, the third one.
00:43The players going for the first ball, the same ball, the clearance.
00:47It's true that Chiesa finishes really well.
00:50That's why they are so good.
00:52Because in moments where they are struggling, they are not having the chances, someone appears.
00:58And now in this case it was Chiesa that made a difference.
01:01And it's a shame.
01:03It's a shame because I think it's really proud of a lot of things that we've done.
01:07The players have given everything.
01:09The easiest thing was to give up with the 2-0.
01:11Because you are playing well and then you find yourself 2-0.
01:15But it didn't happen.
01:17It's true that we've missed the last part and it's a shame.
01:22Yes.
01:23On the first half instant, what were you first told?
01:28How did you find out about it and how did it unfold from your side?
01:32Sorry, I didn't understand the question.
01:35The incident with Antoine, how did you find out about it?
01:40I didn't notice live because a lot of people shouting but straight away Antoine and the ref both explained the situation to both managers.
01:50To be fair, I think it's from the Liverpool side they have identified this person.
01:59It's a shame that in the first game of the Premier League, a very good game of football between two teams that are fighting for their side but playing a really good game.
02:09We have to start talking about things that probably we considered already from the past but obviously they are not from the past.
02:17We have to continue reinforcing the messages and it's a big shame.
02:23It's a big shame because most of the news will be about this thing and they have to be about the thing.
02:34It's obviously something that still is a big problem, not in football but overall and also in football.
02:41We should be talking about what a good game has been, two teams playing well in the first game of the season and probably we will be talking about other things.
02:53Is that like chaos? He continued and scored two brilliant goals?
02:57Yes, in the heat of the moment I think Antoine understood the situation, he was calm, he continued playing for sure.
03:04It has been, you know, the head working the next minutes but we asked him, he was fine to continue, he looked composed.
03:14But it's true that now at the end of the game he was still, for sure he will be, you know, and purposely but the head always goes to these things.
03:24And for sure he's asking why it still is happening today, you know, and it's a big shame, yes.
03:35The positive side from him, two brilliant goals and showing really what he can do and why he's got a new contract.
03:41Yes, Antoine has started the season the same way he finished the past one.
03:46He was creating I think a lot of problems to the full-backs and different goals.
03:53First one more like a combination through the left because we were I think putting a lot of crosses from the left and he arrives well.
04:02Second one is also a transition but more he takes it by himself and it's a good finish, no?
04:08It's a shame that coming here scoring two goals, at the end you go back home with nothing, no?
04:15But obviously we can find positives, yes.
04:20Just defensively, obviously, perhaps from the lapses that led to goals, is that just the case of it being a new back four and still learning each other and learning patterns?
04:31Probably it doesn't help, no? Definitely the first game this back four has played together.
04:37Especially I think difficult for Bafo because he comes straight away, we put him in a very demanding game.
04:43I think he has played well but we have certain things, no?
04:49Because you can concede four if they, I don't know, they are all over you and your keeper saves a lot of it could happen here in Anfield.
04:58But I don't feel it has been this kind of game to concede for, especially the last one I think is the one we can blame ourselves because it's the only one we don't continue the run.
05:07But the key is, for me, the third goal.
05:11Because we had, they are the game, no?
05:13Where you want, probably, before you come in here and it has killed a little bit the game, yes.
05:19Just funny from me, obviously.
05:21Midfield today, Tav and Alex Scott looked like they were sort of interchanging a bit and Alex Scott, Alex was perhaps playing a bit forward and Tav sitting a bit deeper.
05:31What are you sort of seeing in midfield?
05:33Yes, because of the match-up, because they were more or less in the middle, three against three, the characteristics of Alex and Tav.
05:43It was more, almost a 4-3-3 than the 6-8-10-9 that we normally play, no?
05:49At the end, they are profile-wise, they both can play ten, can play eight and sometimes they were changing marks.
05:57Probably Alex was the one jumping a little bit more on the press, but they were recovering basically in quite similar ways.
06:07And you have to adjust, because Liverpool are so good that you need help and you always need more players, no?
06:16To arrive to every shuffle, to every build-up they have, but I think they've done a good job.
