00:00It shouldn't be. I think, haven't they thought a lot about the acoustic in the stadium, so it should sound very loud when the fans are behind the team.
00:12So I guess that's part of it. I think, as I said before, can we have that cohesion and energy between fans and team?
00:24I think there could be unbelievable sound and noise and energy in the stadium that hopefully can push us forward.
00:32Can I speak about Fabio?
00:34Yeah.
00:35Everybody seems to have welcomed him back and be pleased to see it.
00:39Is there any part of anybody that feels like it's unedified to have someone who can control these gamblers?
00:46I think it's something, of course, I've heard about.
00:53I don't know too much about the details. I know Fabio as a good guy at the times I've met him.
01:01And I think he's got a lot of quality and I look forward to working with him.
01:05What is it you think about his talent that makes people happy to overlook things that they might dwell on?
01:14I mean, what do you say that him and Johan were confident? What are the complementary strengths?
01:20No, I think Johan is very good to put in good structures, you know, building that recruitment department, our insight department, our analysis department.
01:37And I think that to put those structures in, plus, of course, I can see players in and out for the recruitment.
01:46I think Fabio come with another angle and another experience from 10 years in Italy with a great network and a great eye and great vision for football.
01:57And I think the way they complement in there, I think it's very good.
02:04I think culture will for me always be the most important thing. Then you can say coaching slash style of play, developing players.
02:27And then as a second area, not in any specific order, coach always first, but coaching is important.
02:37And then recruitment, I think, is key. I and my coaches, we are not magicians.
02:46We know the better potential, the better player, the better possibility to get success.
02:50So recruitment is very important.
02:52We are not making sure what you're engaging with.
03:01Personally, I prefer all the league matches needs to play in the country they belong in.
03:19actually need to be played in England in my opinion I understand that the football
03:26or the world is not as it used to be 20 years ago because that's how the world
03:32is is developing and and how can you say not changing for developing you know
03:37that's just how does things progress and develop and and change a bit but for me
03:45you know Premier League games need to be played in England
03:54no yeah I have no problem saying that I think it should be played in England if
03:59you could play in England if if I have the power to stop it probably not but at
04:04least I can raise my voice
04:15I think first and foremost I think it it's hugely positive that Louis family
04:21is clearly shown their interest in do everything they can to improve the club
04:27and back the club and want us to be as successful as possible and I think that's
04:33a sign of it that they are injecting cash into the into the club
04:38also because as that's the thing I'm learning here with all the screws in
04:45Anthony's helping me a little bit with you know it's remarkable the three rumors
04:50about takeovers get so big I'm so glad I'm not reading too much newspaper and
04:55nothing in social media and just listening a little bit to the the brief
04:59you give me before Anthony and then you guys ask me questions because you can
05:02think too much about that but the key thing is they show their big big big
05:08interest publicly in in try to help the club we knew it internally and how we
05:17will spend the money of course we will keep that for ourselves
05:22I don't know I think this world you you get surprised sometimes both ways I
05:42think for me if you spend ten hundred and 150 million for me that's of course
05:47there's difference in the amount I think the most important thing is that we have
05:51a very good recruitment strategy and we're well very aware of what we are
05:56recruiting and what we want in and then from that takes might a smart decisions
06:03so let's see
06:21I think I think I think you're also some nice stats on that I think actually his
06:32hold-up play when you need to protect the ball and and in difficult situation
06:38make sure we can sustain the attack I think that's a big thing I think his
06:45movement is in the box I think is very good I think his link a place it is at a
06:50good level I think as a pressing player when he's up to his highest I think he's
06:54good smart he's clever he cut the ankles he does the right things
06:58I think it's I think every game you play the more confidence you can gain the better and you know I think he take he's been taking his good form from us I think he actually played
07:03some for some good case
07:17I think it's I think every game you play the more
07:19confidence you can gain and you know and you know I think he take he's been taking
07:24He's been taking his good form from us, I think he actually played some good games for us,
07:29into the international team, on the UN21's team for France,
07:32scoring four goals, I think it was two assists, I think it was.
07:35It was very impressive, and some of his actions were at a high level.
07:38So you need to constantly build on that.
07:51Enough what?
07:53In terms of performance, do you understand that soccer takes the chance from the team and the way they play?
08:01One thing I know is that it's very rare they can play a perfect game through 90 minutes,
08:10it's very rare you play a perfect game throughout the season,
08:15I've said it before, play 60, maybe 10 perfect games.
08:18So that means there's 50 left where we can't excite every single minute.
08:24And I think I'm pretty sure the fans are in a way that if they see a team that is running very hard,
08:29fighting for the shirt and the badge, they do everything they can to try to win the game.
08:35I think that should be the foundation.
08:38Then I'm very aware that we also need to play positive and attacking and happy football or whatever you call it.
08:46That can get people off their seat, I think that's very important as well.
08:51So that of course we need to do what we can.
08:56I also think we need to bring energy from ourselves.
08:58I also think it's fair to say when it's not going well enough, we need the help, that's very simple.
09:04So I don't know how you react if you want to be a shout out of that or want to be guided.
09:09So I think it's the same with any other player.
09:12It looks like it's been a little bit easier for the team in the right game.
09:17Is that the thing that goes down to the native lane and the home game?
09:22Is it the expectation pressure that it turns out that makes it a little bit harder?
09:26That I don't know exactly, I think it's a fair question.
09:32I think I said to perform, I think in terms of, I think we played a very good first half against Wolves.
09:39We created a lot.
09:40I think we played overall a good game against Burnley home.
09:43We also did a lot of good bits in the first half.
09:46Then I agree we were not good against Bournemouth.
09:48Was that it I think in Premier League?
09:50So now and throughout those games you can see it.
09:54You can also see that our front four from last season is not available.
09:58There's a new front four.
09:59So that we're working very hard on.
10:01And I think actually there's been a promising sign of it from some of the players now.
10:05Mo, Wilson, Xiavi.
10:06So hopefully it will be better.
10:08Just last one, you said the World Cup is a long way away.
10:12But you haven't been trying to get fans to get qualified.
10:16What kind of music did you come back to?
10:19I said congratulations to both Jed and Mohamed Kouders.
10:22Both of them qualified their countries to the World Cup.
10:26So that's a big thing.
10:28So you said that you can start twice in a significant position,
10:33putting in the opponent crosses against in practice.
10:36It looks like somebody who is confident to do it about putting in the challenge now
10:40to keep up going and being doubted in practice.
10:44Doubted that he was, sorry?
10:46And now he didn't.
10:47Ah, no, yeah, of course.
10:48I think in life, but also in football, one thing is to get to the top or whatever.
10:55That takes hard work to get there.
10:57The next bit is to be able to stay there on a consistent level,
11:01which is even more important.
11:03So you just need to continue.
11:05And I think it's fantastic.
11:07He got confidence.
11:08We need that.
11:10John, please.
11:11I think it's interesting what you said about the stats.
11:14The stats on what you've seen your own eyes.
11:17Do you think earlier that you've got major stats on what you've seen
11:22as well?
11:24But you had a perception that maybe vulnerable crosses?
11:28Is that fair?
11:30Can you read that?
11:32Vulnerable crosses or doing well?
11:35Well, probably.
11:36Yeah.
11:37Is he doing as well as the stats?
11:40And can you be as bad at crosses as some bit of time?
11:43Yeah.
11:44The last bit, definitely not.
11:47I think actually Vic is quite good for crosses, if I'm honest.
11:52I think it's probably the most difficult area for a keeper
11:57because there's a lot of bodies in the box.
12:00You take the decision of going forward or not going forward.
12:02How brave can you be?
12:04I'm quite happy with him in that area.
12:07Can he improve?
12:08Yeah.
12:09I think that's natural.
12:10I think he had some crucial saves this season
12:14that really kept us in games at times.
12:16And any team need a good keeper that can pull that save out
12:21because you normally face a team that also wants to score, try to score.
12:24So, for example, against Leeds, I think he had some key saves
12:28in the end of the game.
12:30I think Kolo is a very good player, very excited that we managed to sign him.
12:40And now I'm really looking forward to have him playing some minutes and consistent minutes throughout some games,
12:49and hopefully show more and more what he's capable of.
12:51I think Kolo can play both as a striker, but can also play as a winger.
12:55mainly mainly to the left, but can also play as a winger.
12:58So I think hopefully he can perform to his highest and we can see him starting first.
13:02Yeah, I think that's very unlucky.
13:03I think it depends a little bit where it is and how much it bleeds and stuff like that.
13:07But the good thing is now he's fit and he's training, so hopefully we go in the right direction.
