00:00The way we are training, the way we are competing, we have to improve there.
00:05But the things that I would say are signs that when I see things in the games
00:15that we have played since the United States of America and with all the mistakes we can do,
00:21especially in the training sessions, many things that I said I like.
00:26We won six Premier Leagues in eight last years.
00:31When we are starting, I never know we are going to win the Premier League.
00:34But I see things that I like even against sports, I see many things that I like to do.
00:39We have to do things much, much better, but it's completely normal in this stage of the season.
00:48Obviously you built a great team in the Centurions team,
00:51which then evolved into the team that won the treble and then four in a row.
00:56Do you get that kind of smell, that this can become a great team?
01:03No, it's too much.
01:05We are going to be defeated when compared with the Centurions of four titles,
01:09four domestic trophies and trebles and four Premier League in a row, so we are going to lose.
01:17Before the Centurions of the start of this period, I didn't know.
01:23In that moment, we had moments like it was down.
01:26So it never is linear like everything is the same.
01:30But there are things that I like, that maybe in two months I will say how wrong I was.
01:37Maybe now, but what I see, since when we travelled to the States in the World Cup,
01:43there are things that I said, I like a few things that I recognise when you make a good season,
01:50that doesn't mean to win the title, make a good season, it's for the principles.
01:53And that's why I'm confident I will be fine.
01:58I was going to ask you about what might be the time scale in your head
02:03on when you see the consistency you would want to see.
02:07You will see through the results when you will be able to make four, five, six games in a row winning,
02:13or competing well, or being stable in many departments, concede few, create much more.
02:19When we have game by game, concede few, create more, concede few, create more and more.
02:24And after that, I said, our consistency is back.
02:27Would you agree that you are changing the style of the team slightly?
02:33Yeah.
02:34In as much as you make it more, I guess, direct or vertical?
02:37Yeah.
02:38Passing the ball maybe quicker.
02:39Yeah.
02:40I noticed when you played against Wolves, when you beat Wolves,
02:43you had more forward passes against Wolves than you did the previous season.
02:49Significant change in numbers.
02:51Yeah, after any 80 titles, I will change my plan, yeah, I'm pretty sure.
02:58After winning four Premier League in a row, I'm going to change the way I believe the football match my team to play.
03:03Never, ever will change my beliefs in the way we're going to play.
03:07But if you regain up at the pitch, I want to attack quick.
03:11When the opponents make high pressing man-to-man and we break the first pressing, I want to attack quick.
03:17But after that, I love to pass the ball a thousand million boring, boring passes.
03:22I love it.
03:23I love my team to have the ball and play and play, I love it.
03:27But there are moments that you have to attack quick, yeah.
03:30But we have done since day one when we regain the ball and Leroy and Rahim ride like machines.
03:35We attack so quick.
03:37Yes.
03:38That is.
03:39Because the way you are going to attack, I'm going to tell you a secret.
03:41Tell me the way my opponent is going to defend me.
03:44And after I win the side, the way you are going to attack.
03:47And when a team defend like Ali Lyle, 11 players in an ATR box, we have to have just one concern.
03:53Allow the transitions.
03:55We didn't allow it.
03:56That's why we lose.
03:57But when a team plays high, high, high like Tottenham, you have to not be allowed for the transitions because they pay high pressing.
04:04So it depends what they do, you have to react.
04:07And that we have done it in 10 years with 18 titles.
04:12Just finally for me, do you recognise that there is something of a sea change going on tactically across Europe in the way that some teams are playing?
04:22In the last years, not today, the people are more physical, strong, more brave.
04:27Make everyone press the keepers, everyone press the central defenders, the managers are incredibly well prepared.
04:36And they know exactly what the openers want to do.
04:41And it's just read the sports.
04:43You have to read better what they do, what they need with, how to break these kind of situations.
04:49But what I said before, it's a process, the beginning of the season.
04:52And we talk these days, the long days, when you will face, when you will face this happen, what you have to do?
04:58After apply it well or not, listen, the pass is wrong, and the long pass is wrong, and the break the lines is wrong.
05:04It happens.
05:05But understand as a group, when the opponents do this, what do you have to do?
05:10That is the most important thing.
05:11Your philosophy stays the same.
05:13The philosophy of your life.
05:15Yeah.
05:16Yeah.
05:17We won a lot.
05:18You know that?
05:19Yeah.
05:20We did notice.
05:21A lot.
05:22And why do you change?
05:23I change when it's the players.
05:25When I have, for example, Bernardo as a winger, or Leroy Sonny as a winger, it's different.
05:32Bernardo had to get the ball in the feet.
05:34And Leroy gave me the ball in behind.
05:37I have it in trouble.
05:38Of course, I adapt the quality, but the principle, maybe I decide to pass 500 times the ball, 1,000 this season.
05:47This is my target.
05:48Hi, Pat.
05:49You say you're looking for consistency.
05:51Is it quite difficult at this period of the season where you've had three games, then you have an international break,
05:56you've got the rumours of transfers in and out.
05:58Do you like this part of the season?
06:00Are you very eager to get this international break and the transfer window closed?
06:03That's what it is.
06:05I think the managers and the players maybe want them, but maybe the CEOs and the owners,
06:12they don't want it because they want to make the deals a little bit longer.
06:16So it's not about that.
06:18We didn't lose against the Spurs in that position.
06:20Previous seasons always we lose the first games and after another season we win with this situation.
06:26Listen, we didn't win against the Spurs because it was the transfer window.
06:31Ah, for the fact that we'll be clear for the mood, for the back, for the players,
06:36the uncertainty or some of them, yeah, it could be better.
06:39But on Monday we happen or maybe the transfer window in Turkey or in Saudi,
06:45it's a bit longer.
06:46So as much of that I'm focused on the players I have to treat them like we treat them.
06:51I cannot ever, ever have a complaint about how the club take care of them, never, ever.
06:56and train the team.
06:58These three weeks, the three games have been the pre-season.
07:03We talk about the training and how you have to do.
