00:00Yes, we have three games this week, we have quality players and we need to do rotation to try to win every game.
00:11Ruben, is that a problem? We know you are, this is a week obviously when you've got midweek game,
00:19but keeping players happy whilst getting the rhythm of the players who play in the team, is it delicate?
00:28It's a normal thing that happens in other clubs, I think we were not prepared to play Europe,
00:35that is my feeling to have strong games in Champions League and then play Premier League,
00:42we need time to develop as a team, so they just need to fight for the places and then everything can change,
00:49sometimes one is playing in other moments, other guys are going to play and we have the Cubs,
00:55so he's going to have a lot of games for everybody.
00:58On the team, is Masraou still out?
01:02No, maybe he's going to return next week, we will see, but he's near, we are just finishing some drills with him
01:10to have sure that he's not going to have another problem.
01:15Ruben, you just mentioned you weren't prepared to play in Europe, are you glad that you've got a bit more time to work with the team?
01:21Yeah, I said that last season, we need time to prepare every game, the games are really competitive,
01:33and we need time to build the base and then in the future to move forward,
01:38and that will reach one moment that we need to have Europe for everybody to play games. Thank you.
01:45Afternoon Ruben, just a quick question on Alcabienda, in the first half, especially today,
01:51he was knocked over at least two or three times in quarters, do you think your defenders are doing enough to protect him and his area?
01:59Yeah, we're trying everything, but again, I know that you are focused a lot on the opponents' corners,
02:06but if you remember this game, it was 20 minutes ago, we had our chances and we scored one goal set pieces,
02:15we had the penalty, we had at least one in the end near the post, and you can see every game in Premier League,
02:23tell me one game that you didn't see, a big occasion from corners, so I think that will happen in every game.
02:33Last question in the middle of that.
02:35Hi Ruben, Rasmus Oliver was a table sport in this game, do you consider him available for QC,
02:40or given the speculation, do you consider him now?
02:44All the players are available, then we make the choice to try to get the best starting XI to win every game.
02:52Thanks everyone.
