00:00Clubs won't start, three goals, couldn't choose?
00:02Yeah, probably.
00:07That's, of course, a perfect start, our dream start.
00:12We all know we need to follow up on it, but today I will just enjoy it.
00:19I hope the players, the club, the fans enjoy it today, because that's important.
00:25I think overall a good performance, not a through-the-roof performance.
00:30Good performance against a difficult opponent is never easy in the Premier League, we know that.
00:39And after the very short turnaround against PSG, no complaints.
00:45If there's two days, three days, four days, one day, I'll make sure I'll do everything I can to get the team ready.
00:51But it is just a reminder that PSG is playing tomorrow night and we play today.
00:55So, as I think Anthony and I spoke about, that CT a couple of years ago also played Saturday instead of Sunday.
01:03So, I don't know who decided that, but the ones who decided maybe need to think a little bit about the players.
01:10But, big positive, our medical department and performance department done a top job,
01:15to make sure the players were ready and ready to go.
01:19I think we had eight starters again, so that I'm happy with.
01:24It's fantastic, you need, it's two...
01:32He's scoring, I think the first one is definitely easier to score from without being easy-easy.
01:40But to have a striker that takes those two chances is, you know, helpless winning the game.
01:46He deserved a lot of praise, I think he was very good against PSG, today he was exceptional.
01:51He's worked great, he's driving a team, link-up play, hold-up play, just dominating.
01:59And then the two finishes, I'm so happy on his behalf.
02:02Again, performance department, medical department done a top job to build him.
02:07I think a few of you know that he was not involved in the first friendly,
02:12because we had to build him, and that will be continuous.
02:15It's something you need to look through throughout the season.
02:18It's only the second game of the season, it's a long way home.
02:22But very positive today with him.
02:25Second goal, 17 passes in the team, I've been told.
02:28Every player in the team touched the ball, finished with two top actions.
02:34First, Mohamed Koudouz, and then an exceptional finish from Richarlison.
02:38So I'm a little bit disappointed if that's so early we had the goal of the season,
02:42but must be a contender.
02:44Last one, a very young midfield today as well, what did you make of the three players in there?
02:49I think Pape have praised so much, so I'll not say too much about him today.
02:55Give the praise a little bit to others.
02:58Archie Gray did well, I think.
03:04Fine first half, but really grew into it in the second half.
03:08As a reminder to myself and everyone else, young players take a little bit of time.
03:12It can't be that you just put them out there and then suddenly exceptional.
03:16That demands incredible, incredible, incredible talents.
03:22Normal, very, very good talent, which I think Archie is and Bergkot is.
03:27Demand some time, so happy with his performance.
03:29I think Lucas overall were very good as well, top actions from both players.
03:42Just very well done, really liked his performance, it worked great and we were looking after him.
03:49I know you just mentioned Archie.
03:51Most of last season we saw him in defence for different reasons.
03:55What skills does he possess, which means he can play that number six role?
04:00I think he needs to be aware of not putting players in different positions.
04:10I think he's a player that is a flexible player, that can definitely play the centre-back and the right-back.
04:16But I think he is more natural as a midfielder, but he can play all three positions.
04:21I like his dynamic, he's covering a lot of ground, he's good in the jewels, good in the pressure.
04:32And I agree to carry the ball forward as well.
04:35Nice.
04:36Yves Pesuma wasn't in the squad today, was there in the fans specifically?
04:40Yeah, unfortunately he got injured in training yesterday, so very unfortunate.
04:45I initially look into how much it is.
04:50And then on Charleston, what role do you expect him to play this year?
04:54Obviously it being a World Cup year as well, do you feel that kind of extra amount of age from you?
04:59Yeah, but I think before the season started I had an expectation that he will be an important part.
05:06That hasn't changed, of course.
05:09We're all very happy, he should be very happy today, but again, we shouldn't get carried away.
05:13It's one game today, happy, enjoy it, 24 hours, then move on, and then we prepare for City.
05:19Thomas, there's been a lot of speculation around for Charleston at the beginning of the club.
05:23Were you always clear that you wanted him to stay?
05:26Yeah, I think I always liked Charleston.
05:29I always thought he was good when he played for Evertone, when he came to Tottenham.
05:34We all knew that he had struggled with some injuries or been unlucky also,
05:38so we are very aware that we need to build him and protect him,
05:41because we can't say we just played two games back-to-back,
05:44where he did well both, and then we're out of the woods.
05:47That we need to prove for a little bit longer time, but the first signs are good.
05:51What is the dream scenario that England and Solanke are pushing each other?
05:55The dream scenario is to have two good strikers, we need that.
05:58Hopefully playing plus 60 games this season, that'll be great,
06:03then we have done something right, and for that you need double positions, you need that.
06:20I think it's fair to say that he hasn't played every game the last three or four seasons,
06:25because of injuries, so I think we need to be smart with him.
06:29What is the right answer to that? I don't know, that can be getting out earlier,
06:34that can be coming from the bench, there can be various ways,
06:39they can be playing five games in a row, we need to get to know him as well,
06:44so that's the next thing, I don't know him, know him.
06:48There was a nice moment when Batiste was warming up,
06:51and the fans were giving a big show of support, big grand applause,
06:54which is what happened to me.
06:56First of all, your reaction to how the fans were?
07:00How has he been in the lead-up situation?
07:02Yeah, I'm extremely happy that the fans, as I said,
07:05I'm extremely happy with how the fans reacted towards Magistel.
07:10As I said yesterday, I think the true Tottenham fans, they are behind him,
07:14and they showed it today.
07:16And just finally, as ever, not long after the transfer window,
07:19are you expecting some business this week?
07:22We are definitely in the market.
07:24I said it before, Daniel and Johan and Vinay are working relentlessly
07:28to try to do their best to improve the squad,
07:32but we're also very aware we only want to improve the squad.
07:35If we can't get players in, they can improve the squad.
07:37And rather, I want to keep it as it is.
07:40Thomas, just to follow up on that, is there anything you can say about MRA?
07:44Has there been a lot of talk for the last 12-24 hours,
07:47and you can close the tournament as well?
07:49I have that nice principle that I would like to speak about the players,
07:52is in-house, and all the other populations,
07:54I'm not too – I don't want to speak too much about that.
07:58Okay. Thanks, guys. Thank you.
08:00MR. Hey, guys. Thank you. Thank you very much.
08:03Red-white tonight?
08:05Yes. It's a good old time.
