Transcript
00:00It's easy to summarize this game, so, too many easy mistakes on our side, you gave the balls too easy away and like this you can't win the game.
00:29I think overall we had the control of the game, we had good actions, we always were in danger, we created always a danger in their half, in their box, but in the end if you do two easy mistakes like we did and make them like four presents, you can't win the game.
00:49Do you think it's as simple as that or the goals are all presents? I think most people thought the first one was a good goal and the second one was a good goal.
00:59Yeah, I think it's as easy as I explained and like this we saw the game, of course United, they pressed well the first half but then you have to do the small margins right, it's about which foot you pass, how are your position when you receive the ball, how you find the free teammate, how calm you stay, how is the technical execution.
01:23If you face a team, the press is man to man, it's all about technical execution, it's about the angles you create and we went on the highest level and then we made the mistakes and I think of course how the goals went in, on the one side it was luck, on the other side individual quality.
01:43Much more intense, much more compact, defending forward and even more individual quality, so the money was well invested.
02:06I will never make the referee responsible for our losses, for our defeats, it's our responsibility, we have to make it better, we can't lose the ball that easily and that's our fault and therefore we have to take responsibility for that.
02:35Yeah, like I said, there was a lot of positives, also the belief from my team, we showed personality, we showed character, I think when you're 3-0 down you can also play the game differently but the belief was always there, we always created something, we always continued, we were physical on a very high level, we were
03:04also culture-wise on a very high level and these are two very positive things but in the end when you make so easy mistakes and gave the ball away so easily then you have to chase the game and this costs a lot of energy and maybe this energy we missed a little bit in the end.
03:24Sure, they're close, I think that's our way from Brighton so Tommy and Gustulo are very, very young players coming from the lower league, just an example how good is our recruitment and therefore we need to give them the environment where they can improve, we need to make sure that they're adapting quickly to the intensity, but I saw that they're not going to be able to do that.
03:26Sure, they're not going to be able to be able to do that.
03:33I think that's our way from Brighton, so Tommy and Gustulo are very, very young players coming from the lower league.
03:42Just an example, how good is our recruitment and therefore we need to give them the environment where they can improve.
03:49We need to make sure that they're adapting quickly to the intensity, but I saw a lot of positive things from them today.
03:57Now it's about making the small steps forward, it's about staying humble, keep working hard and then we have a squad full of young players with big potential.
04:07And then it's just about getting more mature in the way we're playing and then we can have a future.
04:15I think at the start of the season, most people are concerned about whether they have enough goals or not.
04:25That's not an opportunity. What are the main reasons?
04:33Today, the easy mistakes. When we will analyse the game, I think when we were in the structure against the ball,
04:41we looked compact, we didn't give away too many chances.
04:46I think it was just the old mistakes we did and that was the main thing today.
04:51I can just repeat myself, we have to take responsibility for that.
04:56We decided how this game ends and we decided today in a negative way and that's something where we have to do better the next time.
05:04Because my team, they have the belief, they have the quality also to win games like this.
05:11But the way and the technical execution we showed today was just not good enough.
05:20How close to the cover?
05:22Close.
05:23How close? Close.
05:24Close.
