00:00Okay, evening everyone. If you'd like to ask a question please raise your hand, we'll get

00:22round as many as possible. Who would like to get us started? This could be a quick press

00:29conference. I was very, very, very happy half time to be honest. The difference between

00:44half time and second half has been that we just scored goals. When you don't concede

00:49nothing, nothing, nothing and you create four or five chances, we have to be clinical. We

00:54said many times otherwise the game is always open, anything can happen, but fortunately

00:58then second half we score goals. I want to ask you about Garnaccio. He got two assists

01:03as well in this match. How much is he improving at the moment and how much are you managing

01:07as well because that was his first 90 minutes of the season?

01:11He arrived here from another club where he was not training 100%, so his physical condition

01:18was not good. Slowly, slowly, now it's better. He's doing very well on the ball, but he's

01:24doing very, very well off the ball and he knows that to play with us, he has to be good on

01:29the ball and off the ball. Otherwise, he's not going to play and we are very happy with

01:34him in this moment.

01:35We'll go to Dom.

01:36Enzo, Liam Delat made his first start since suffering his injury against Fulham. He was

01:41also the first player that you brought on. What did you make of his performance and what

01:46was behind the decision to put Pedro Neto as the striker rather than show off Pedro?

01:51What did you make of Delat?

01:53No, Liam's performance was not easy for many reasons. First of all, because it's a long time

01:59without play minutes. Second, because they had 11 players almost at the age, so there

02:07is no space for Liam in behind. Liam is a nine that he needs space. He needs to attack

02:13in behind, he needs to fight, he needs to do this kind of things. Against him that they

02:17are low block, for him it's a bit more difficult because there is no space that he can attack.

02:23And then the reason why we put Pedro as a nine is because Joao Pedro was not completely fit

02:34to continue to press in the way we were pressing with Liam. So the idea was to put Pedro and

02:39continue to be aggressive with Pedro.

02:41Simon?

02:42How surprised were you that Malo scored? Has he been the subject around training ground?

02:53Finally. Last year it was Cucu scoring goals as a fullback. Hopefully this season

02:59can be Malo. But Malo arrives always inside the box when he's playing in the way we play tonight.

03:07He missed some goals, he missed some chances, but it was an important goal also because

03:13it gave us the 1-0 that opened a little bit the game.

03:16That's Matt.

03:17So a data company this week rallied Esteval over 100 million already and made him the most valuable

03:25teenager after Liam Neymar in World Football. Did you see that and what do you make of it?

03:31Yeah, you can see that absolutely. His top is talent. Again, we are trying to help him to adapt

03:38and to give him the right minutes. And he's doing fantastic. And he will be for this club,

03:45he will be in the next five, ten years, I don't know, he will be top, top player.

03:50Part of your job has been to try to stop a little bit some of the hype and excitement to help him.

03:57Yeah.

03:58That's impossible, surely.

04:00Yeah.

04:01It's not when he makes an impact every time, it makes it impossible, doesn't it?

04:06Absolutely, yes. I said already twice that the reason why fans pay tickets is because they want to see

04:15players like Esteval, like Cole, because people, they are happy when they are inside the pitch.

04:22The only difference is that Esteval arrived from Brazil and it's a little bit to adapt.

04:27And slowly, slowly, for sure, it's going to start the game for us in the future.

04:32Go to Peter.

04:33Just to pick up on that, the crowd when you came on, even just conceiving that people

04:38were ready to come on, just because of a noticeable lift in the ground,

04:42obviously in the first half and losing half-time.

04:45Is it useful to have a player like that in you when you're playing this kind of game?

04:49Yeah, but we understand. You know, when you play against...

04:52I was very worried before this game, because these are the worst games, these are tricky games,

04:57because everyone is thinking that it's going to be easy, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah, blah.

05:01And then it's one second and you... So I can understand that first half, you know,

05:05people was not happy, probably because we didn't score.

05:08I don't think because of the performance, to be honest.

05:11And then when Esteval was inside, the energy race is because people loves, you know,

05:17that kind of player. So we are happy that he can help the team and also the fans,

05:22they can be happy.

05:23And then we'll finish with Jacob.

05:25Just to check, it seems like Moy had a bit of a knock at the start of the game,

05:29seems to be limiting through it a little bit. Was he okay?

05:33Yeah, no, he was okay. He was okay. Just a kick first half in his knee,

05:39but he finished the game. I asked him after the game, he was okay.

05:42Pedro Neto and Enzo, they are both... They asked for change,

05:48because Pedro for the groin, the problem, and Enzo for the knee.

05:53So we need to see how they are now.

05:55Okay, we'll end to that. No problem.
