00:00Hi Lugan, if I could ask first of all for your thoughts on the terror attack at Manchester yesterday.
00:07Yeah, crazy world that we are living in the moment. A lot of these things is happening.
00:16Of course our sympathy for the victims and we will pay tribute tomorrow.
00:23But it's a crazy world in this moment.
00:25Hi Ruben, the next challenge is Sunderland. Give us your thoughts on what that challenge will be and what your team will face tomorrow.
00:37It's going to be a really tough match. They are doing really well.
00:42And then when you see the games, they draw with less one player in the final of the game.
00:49They draw one point and then they win in the final play against Brentford more three points.
00:56And I think the details are changing a lot the table. So we need to pay attention to that.
01:04So it's a team that plays really well. It's a clear system.
01:08The 4-3-3 with a lot of rotations on the side of the pitch.
01:13They are confident and they know that we are going to be under pressure and we need to be able to play with that.
01:20And we are prepared for a tough, tough match.
01:22And just to comment on the job Regis Labriss has done, getting them promoted and the start they've made under him.
01:29It's not just the table and all the results.
01:32That's also in the end what matters the most.
01:36But it's the way they play.
01:37They have a clear identity and it's a very good manager and a very good team.
01:41Thanks, George.
01:45Ruben, I just wonder what are you seeing and feeling kind of at the training ground that makes you think that the team can start performing on a more kind of consistent level?
01:53Yeah, we already talked about that.
01:56We had some moments.
01:57If you see during these six games, during this season, we are not always the same team in small things.
02:11More in the way we play.
02:12All the effort that we put, the maximum effort in every single thing, I think is not the same in different matches.
02:23We have to find that balance.
02:24It will change everything for us.
02:26Some former players have been quite heavy on their criticism this week.
02:29Wayne Rooney saying this is not Manchester United.
02:31The culture is not that.
02:33Gary Neville has been similarly criticizing the system.
02:35I mean, can that be quite hard to listen to?
02:38How do you filter all of that?
02:40It's normal and you cannot run away from the results and then you have a baggage from the last season.
02:47But for the last season, for me, it doesn't matter.
02:50In relation to the system, we already spoke about that.
02:53We had six games this season and we lost three.
02:58And then we have to look to the games that we lost.
03:02If you lost against Arsenal because of the system, it's your job to make the opinion.
03:09Did we lost?
03:10When you look at the game against City, it was the first thing that you think when the game starts is the system.
03:16I think you don't think about the system in that moment.
03:20And Brentford.
03:21I don't look the way we concede goals, the way we create chances if there is nothing to do with the system.
03:29That is my opinion.
03:30And I'm not saying that this team would play better in the different system or not.
03:34That is not my point.
03:36My point is, if I look at the games that we didn't win, the most important thing when I watch the game is not we lost because of the system.
03:45That is my opinion.
03:45Then people have different opinions.
03:48That's OK.
03:49You spoke a lot about the fans and how much they backed you.
03:53And last season, you said that is gone now.
03:58They stayed with you and they believed you when you said things will be better this season.
04:05What do you say to the fans to give them the belief that it will be better?
04:12It's not time to say.
04:14It's time to show.
04:15Again, I can look at the games in this year, for me, are completely different.
04:21There are some things that are the same.
04:23And that is nothing about the position on the pitch, where we put the ball.
04:29It's other things that we cannot change.
04:32We show that thing in certain games.
04:36In the other games, we are not the same team in some details.
04:41So I have nothing to say in this moment.
04:44I just, my job is to prepare the team and let's go for the next game.
04:49I know we've asked you this a few times before.
04:52Do the players understand what you're asking them?
04:54Because it did look as though last Saturday was very disjointed.
04:59It didn't look at all.
05:01It was.
05:01It was.
05:03But again, you cannot say one thing that doesn't work when it works on one weekend.
05:08The other weekend doesn't work.
05:10When one thing doesn't work, it doesn't work every day.
05:14But when things work in one day and the other day doesn't work, the other day works really well again.
05:21It's something about the way we do the same thing.
05:24So we need to do the same thing in the same way every day.
05:28And we are not doing that.
05:29That is my opinion.
05:31Some of you guys have different opinions, but that's okay.
