00:01Hi everyone, if you have a question raise your hand and we'll come to you.
00:04Who wants to kick off?
00:09Amy.
00:10Sorry, just to start with Saliba, but I wondered if there was any news on that.
00:14Yeah, he twisted his ankle during the warm-up and he came in and he said he believed that
00:19he could carry on and play, but that's where I went in the first two actions.
00:23I could see that he couldn't cope and we had to get him out, unfortunately.
00:28But we had Mosquera, which we put in for the first time in the Premier League, his debut
00:32not expecting at Anfield and I think he was really, really good.
00:37Overall, did you feel that the game plan to maybe frustrate and take your time until he
00:43could get at Liverpool was going well up to a point?
00:46We didn't do our game plan to frustrate him, we needed to win it.
00:50I think we elevated the game and the dominance to a point that they have to raise it.
00:56They did, especially from the 60 to 78, when then you could see that there were no margins
01:03in the game and then when that happens the game is going to be decided in two ways.
01:07One, with an individual error and two, with a magic moment.
01:11And so I created a moment that was incredible, that has to win in the game and that was the difference, nothing else.
01:18Tom for Boulogne.
01:19Michael, in the first half you had a lot more joy than Liverpool in terms of turnovers,
01:24transferation, touches in the box.
01:26But it was also the half where you perhaps had less of your offensive and attacking players in the team.
01:30Do you feel as though, in hindsight, that the midfield was maybe slightly too conservative for the chances that you created?
01:36Well, that's what we had.
01:37I mean, maybe another guy was injured, Kai cannot play.
01:41Merino is a player that is incredible arriving from there.
01:44We played with three attacking players, two attacking full-backs.
01:47After the game I think it's too easy to say that.
01:50David A from Gazeta in the sport.
01:53Hi, Michael.
01:54What's about the position on Declan Rice, a little bit behind compared to the usual?
01:59Why did you decide to play him in that position and what did you say about it?
02:04Because we believe it was the best thing, especially the way we have to attack and the way they press to him to get him in this position.
02:12Okay, we're good.
02:14Everyone at the back?
02:15Are you worried about William Sandberg?
02:17Well, I am because when you cannot play a game of that stature after you try it, that means that there is something wrong.
02:26Okay, one here.
02:27Why do you think the game changed in the second half?
02:30Because this is Anfield and at some point it's going to change.
02:33You cannot dominate Anfield for 95 minutes and it changed in various ways, especially because we made the right decision when our keeper got the ball in their hands,
02:41we started to rush it, the turnovers we didn't manage them so well so we could never glide as a team and they are going to create those moments without really creating any situations or danger.
02:53Okay, I think we're done. Thanks guys. Thank you.
