Transcript

00:01Vito, I know you'll be disappointed at the end, but overall, are you very proud of the team?

00:05Of course, of course.

00:07The question is, we won one point or we lost two?

00:14My answer is we lost two. We lost two points.

00:18Because the team showed that we came here to win the game,

00:26especially in the second half, because the first half was a bit difficult to control the crosses,

00:33to control some movements.

00:35But the second half was a second half that we deserved to win the game, in my opinion.

00:42But football is football.

00:44In the end, from nothing, we conceded and we lost the two points.

00:56Do you feel you've found a formula really going forward where you can get more points?

01:06You know, I feel that we started to work with the team two weeks ago.

01:17Before Everton game, we started to work with the team.

01:22Because before it was not possible.

01:24It was not possible.

01:25I cannot...

01:26The players, they came, some of them, they came in the end of the market.

01:32And after they went in the national teams.

01:36And now we are working tactically and mentally, building the team, the spirit between the players.

01:45The tactical page, to put them in a tactical page, to understand what we want.

01:53In two different systems.

01:56We worked in one system in the first half and another one in the second half.

02:02And I'm very happy with the players.

02:09Because in the last two games, against Everton and today, we show that we can compete.

02:19We can compete.

02:20You talk about how tough meant it has been for the players before this game, not having any points.

02:26Whilst you wanted to win, getting off the mark on it in one place, to help or something.

02:32Two feelings.

02:35You know, one of proud of my players.

02:40Happy with the spirit that they show in the game.

02:44And the ambition that they show in the game.

02:47And frustrated because, you know, when you have three points on the pocket and we lose the two points in the last minute, it's difficult.

02:58It's difficult.

02:59But what I said to them was, with this spirit, with this personality, this playing like this, we will get the points that we need.

03:12OK.

03:14What was the reason for sticking with the back four today and what was the reason for changing back two or three at half time?

03:20Because, you know, if you work with two systems and you try to start with line four, facing problems to control the crosses,

03:34the covers in the sides, we delayed almost the time, the covers, and they create some chances in the first half.

03:48During the game, during the first half, we realised that in this way it's not possible.

03:57We need to go again for line five.

04:00We know what to play.

04:01And in the second half, in my opinion, we controlled the game.

04:08We played better football.

04:10And in the end, this is my opinion, of course, we deserve to win the game.

04:17Did you send Jackson on and tell him to keep with us quiet?

04:22Jackson?

04:23Two?

04:24Sorry.

04:25To not keep with us quiet?

04:28Yes, because, you know, especially when you face a team with wingers strong in one against one,

04:41you know, these kind of players, and when they play with the opposite feet,

04:47it's difficult to control because we need someone to close the space inside, someone to close the space outside,

04:58and someone to cover if these kind of players pass in one against one.

05:07They attract these kind of players, but to have these players, the club is spending a lot of money

05:14because the value of these players is not easy to find in the cheap price.

05:23These kind of players, they attract two or three players to mark and they open the spaces

05:30because we need players in the edge of the box, we need players in the...

05:36You understand?

05:37This is the kind of players that create problems.

05:40We decide to change in the half-time, and I think we did well because the second half finished the danger,

05:56the situations that they create in the first half.

05:59And how are the players in the dressing room after that?

06:02Frustration. Frustration, but you know, two feelings. Feeling proud because what we did here in this stadium

06:15is not for every team. We came here to win the game with the mentality to win the game.

06:25And frustration because we conceded the goal in the last minute.

06:32It's very hard. In a normal situation, it's worse when it's the first points of the season.

06:44You were very strong this summer on keeping Santiago Bueno at the football club.

06:49Does this type of display show why he could be important to you this season?

06:53Of course. I like... I like...

06:56In the pre-match, I said that I like...

06:59I like...

07:00I like...

07:01I like Bueno not only...

07:04He's not always speaking about technically or tactically, it's about mentality.

07:09Because I like...

07:11I like players that...

07:13They can...

07:14They can play home, they can play away in the same way.

07:19And I like this kind of player.

07:21I think it's the first time you've chosen Sam Johnston for a Premier League game,

07:26when you had Djokovic sort of play them. What was the reason for that change?

07:30The reason is...

07:32The reason is because...

07:34After the last game...

07:36I felt that...

07:38Okay, the team is here.

07:40The team is here because we won 2-0.

07:42And I need to establish a team.

07:44I need to give them confidence.

07:46And, of course...

07:48They are competing for the position.

07:52Sai is competing with Daniel and Sam.

07:56And the others, they are competing between them.

07:59But in a...

08:01With a good spirit.

08:02To be better.

08:03To push them.

08:05Each others.

08:07And to...

08:08To help the team.

08:10And...

08:11I had a conversation with everybody.

08:13And...

08:14They understand the situation.

08:17They understand the decisions.

08:19Is tonight the kind of performance you've been looking for from Andre?

08:24Is he going to be back close these days?

08:27Andre is playing the two games in a row in this level.

08:31Against Everton and today.

08:34How important is that a player like Monezzi who can play in certain positions when you want to change your system around?

08:43Monezzi...

08:45I...

08:46I tell you...

08:48Monezzi...

08:50You know, when we look for football just for the technique...

08:56Monezzi...

08:57Is one thing.

08:58But football is not only about technique.

09:00Football is about...

09:02Tactical spirits...

09:04Physicality...

09:06And Monezzi is like...

09:08It's an animal.

09:10Animal.

09:11Running and running and running.

09:13If...

09:14If he plays five minutes...

09:16He...

09:17He gives us everything.

09:19If he plays 90 minutes or if he plays...

09:22Extra time...

09:24I know what I can...

09:26I can expect from him.

09:28And for us...

09:30This is the kind of player...

09:32Very honest player.

09:35Very honest player.

09:36Giving everything for the club.

09:38This is the kind of player that we need to support.

09:40Is that the kind of personality you've got to sum up with football club and your identity?

09:44Of course.

09:45Of course.

09:46Of course.

09:47We need...

09:48I...

09:49I like to see good football.
