00:00It was really important, I think we deserve it, but we complicated our lives every time.
00:30I think we started the game really well, really well in terms of the aggression and to push the opponent and to show that we were there, even to bring our fans with us.
00:42Of course the send-off of the goalkeeper helped us a lot, but we were in control, we scored two goals and with everything going well, we complicated with the send-off.
00:53The second half, I think we managed well, but in the end, the last 15 minutes was tough for us.
01:06They scored a goal and then we suffered together and we managed to win.
01:09James, Ruben, what does the nature of that performance tell you about the players' desire to win for you?
01:17I think they show that, but we show also that when everything is going well, we arrange something to make it difficult.
01:30But again, just the way that we start the game in the first ball, second ball, I remember when we scored the first one, we have many situations, three against one, three against two, goalkeeper outside of the box.
01:47In the last pass, we are not being perfect in that moment and that can help us a lot to control the games and to win games, but we suffered together in the end and that was a good thing.
01:59If you look at the game, we deserve the win.
02:02Simon and then Don.
02:03Ruben, Bruno Fernandes gets his 100th goal, it's 200th game.
02:08We talk a lot about it, even on the bench next to you at the end, he's roaring the team or he was roaring the fans.
02:15After he had the chance at the end, we debate his position, but his value to your squad.
02:23Yeah, that is the most important thing, is the influence that he has on the squad.
02:31Sometimes he's not in the best position to be the main man in every game, but the point, especially of the captain, is to be the best he can be in every situation to help the team to be better.
02:43And he's doing that.
02:45I think he can play better, but everyone can play better in our team.
02:51But it's really important.
02:52You can change in position, we can give different things to the team.
02:58He has a lot of quality near the box, he has a lot of quality building up, and he deserves all the praise.
03:06Ruben, you spoke yesterday about mentally, the team, the last 15 minutes, it's all about suffering together.
03:12How important would that be, the mental side of the team, to see that win through Liverpool?
03:17That is really important, because sometimes we have some moments that we feel an urgency to have a result.
03:24And this team showed for many times that we have that urgency.
03:30So, today that we won, let's forget about, it's nice to win, but let's forget that and return to that urgency.
03:37We need to win the next game.
03:38That is the most important thing, because in the big club is not that feeling.
03:43Today is a really good game, let's relax a little bit.
03:45So, let's return that urgency.
03:46We need to win the next one, and that is the most important feeling that we have to take for the next week.
03:54Paul and then Rob.
03:55Ruben, did you see more examples of the fight and the aggression that you were talking about yesterday?
04:00I think, if you try to remember the game, you can feel it, especially in the beginning.
04:0611 against 11.
04:07I don't remember a big play that we did.
04:10It's not about that in this moment.
04:13It's the second ball, the first ball, the aggression, the speed.
04:19Even Kaza with a sent-off.
04:21But he was really aggressive.
04:23Of course, he needs to do better in that moment, in that two plays.
04:28But we show that today, since the beginning of the game, we show that we wanted to win really, really bad.
04:35Ever since you came in, the performance levels have been a bit up and down.
04:41Obviously, today it was very good.
04:42How do you ensure that you get this kind of performance at Fred and Perdom?
04:46It's the urgency of, it's that feeling that we need to win because the situation is so hard in this moment that we go to the pitch.
04:54And that feeling of, there is no two results or three results, there is one.
05:01Let's do it.
05:02In the end, we can do it or not.
05:04But that feeling of urgency, that is not about the tactical aspect of the ability.
05:10It's the feeling that we go to the next game, we need to win the next game.
05:16So, that is the only way.
05:18And that starts in the next training, not the next game.
05:21Yeah, how's the Pope?
05:23Did he call you?
05:26He was there.
05:31Jim was here also.
05:33He was there, yeah.
05:34No, it was a joke.
05:37And you like it, guys.
05:38So, don't complain.
05:40You love that.
05:42Let's try to win the next one.
05:44I will give you another one next.
05:46Let's go, Simon.
05:47And last question, Michal.
05:48Rubio, when you talk about complicated things, does that show maybe the pressure that the players are feeling?
05:54That they're trying to do maybe things a little bit too much, making an attack feel that maybe they shouldn't?
05:59It's hard to say with Casmiru that is the pressure.
06:03The guy has five Champions League.
06:05I feel more pressure in some young guys sometimes.
06:10But maybe it's because Casmiru cares.
06:12And we scored one and he has that tackle.
06:16And then they had maybe one time that they passed the half of the pitch and we want to win the game right away, the ball right away.
06:25So, I think sometimes it's a little bit, it's not the pressure.
06:29They wanted too much in that moment.
06:33That is not a bad thing.
06:34Is the move that led to Chelsea's red cards something that you've been working on to benefit from Brian and Bumic running behind?
06:44So, it's everything together.
06:47We know that Ben is really strong on the first touch.
06:51And also, Brian is something that we see the characteristics of the player playing for the last team.
06:59And you can feel it that every detail, every run, every touch, Brian is really aggressive in this run.
07:04And so, we want that.
07:05We want to use the good things that he had in the former club.
07:12But that characteristics are really important for us.
07:16And also, in the second half, when we kicked the ball, Ben was not there.
