00:00Thank you for waiting.
00:25Same order, if you could put your hands up if you want to ask a question, please.
00:28Vinny, you can go first.
00:30Cody, first of all, how does it feel to be playing your old club, second time in the space of a year now?
00:36Second time already.
00:38Yeah, I always feel special, obviously, to play against PSV.
00:43Obviously, I grew up there, been there a long time, a lot of memories.
00:47So, yeah, special.
00:49Cody, obviously it was a great performance against Real Madrid,
00:52and it followed on the back of a resilient performance again against Aston Villa as well, a solid performance.
00:58Where has that resilience and solidity gone, do you feel, over the past few weeks?
01:01Sorry, again?
01:06Yeah, where's that solidity that you've got, we saw against Madrid and the way you went about it.
01:12Where's that kind of solidity, that resilience, that kind of all-round team performance gone since then?
01:21I don't know where it's gone, but, yeah, I think we try to get back to that.
01:30Obviously, we know we are in a difficult position, but, yeah, I think we have to stick together,
01:36and that's what we try to do on the pitch, outside of the pitch, mentally and performance-wise.
01:43So, yeah, like I said, it's not been the best of streaks, but, yeah, we have to fight through that as well,
01:50and we know that we are capable of doing that, because we showed some good performances like that.
01:56But we have to keep going and fighting together to get more of those.
02:00The boss also said the harder it gets, the more together we are.
02:05What are you saying to each other in the dressing room as well as you just try and get things back together?
02:10Yeah, the most important is that we stick together, no matter what happens.
02:17But, obviously, we are also demanding more from each other, because, yeah, we need to perform together as a team,
02:23because that's what we know what we can do, what the club deserves, what the fans deserve,
02:28and that's what we are fighting for together.
02:30And, yeah, we're just being honest to each other that some things really have to improve to get back to that.
02:37So what do you feel, then, is still achievable?
02:40What would still be regarded as success this season?
02:44No, we first look at the next game, and that's the one we have to win.
02:48And from that moment on, we will look at the one after that.
02:52I think that's what we did last season as well.
02:55We approached every game, game by game, and that's what we have to do now as well,
03:00especially when we are in a moment like this.
03:06Hi, Cody.
03:07Obviously, when you're at a club like Liverpool, and you go through a patch,
03:11like you're going through at the minute, there's a lot of talk, a lot of noise outside of the club.
03:15How difficult is it as players to block that out and try and not get bogged down by all of that?
03:20Yeah, it can be difficult, obviously.
03:23If you don't want to read anything or to get anything to your head, it's almost not possible these times with social media
03:33and whatever is going on online.
03:36But, yeah, I think, like I said before, if we are together inside of the dressing room,
03:41I think this is the most important.
03:43We can get confidence out of each other.
03:44And, yeah, like I said, we know that we have to do better.
03:48And if we stick together, that will be the end result that we will do better.
03:52Yeah, I think.
04:20The way the club is, of course, the way the club is the biggest difference in the Netherlands.
04:26Of course, in the Netherlands, if we had a difficult period with PSV, we had a lot of problems.
04:32A lot of things came up on us.
04:34PSV is one of the biggest clubs in the Netherlands.
04:38It's not different here, but it's on a different level here.
04:40It's not different here, but it's on a different level here.
04:44Yeah, that brings a lot of things with us.
04:46And now also brings a lot of things with us.
04:48As I said, it's on our side to stay together.
04:50To stay together, stick together.
04:52And get out of the situation.
04:54Cody, this is, of course, what can I say?
05:04It goes about self-confidence in what you can do.
05:08How do you think?
05:10How do you think?
05:11How do you think?
05:12How do you think of the result?
05:14How do you think of the players?
05:16How do you think of the players as a player?
05:17Of the players?
05:18If it's about the offensive.
05:19Yeah, it's about the offensive team.
05:21I think of every player.
05:25If you win a lot of matches, it goes well.
05:33And you are always better than when you win a win.
05:38And it's not going well.
05:39But I think we know how good we are.
05:44We've already seen this season, and this is definitely the last year, so I don't think
05:48that it's there, but it's not all our way up, and we have to do things better, and we
05:54are aware of that, and we try to work every day.
05:59And the trainer has a responsibility, but we as players also have a big responsibility
06:06to go to the club, to the club and to the fans, because we know what we can, we know what
06:15we have allowed to see, and that do we at this moment not, but we want to get back to that
06:21level.
06:22So, it's definitely a responsibility for you.
06:24Cody, good evening.
06:25I'm glad you played Liverpool at the number of games that you played for the PSV, and that
06:30you played for Liverpool at the number of games that you played for Liverpool at the
06:37time.
06:38What do you want to do?
06:40Good question.
06:41Yeah, I think that I've done a lot of experiences, I've made a lot of moments, I've been able to
06:49learn as a player, as a player, as a player, as a player, as a player, as a player, as a
06:55person.
06:56Of course.
06:57Of the pitches.
06:58Of the pitches, of course.
06:59Of the pitches, of course.
07:00Of the pitches.
07:01Of the pitches.
07:02Of course.
07:03So, there are a lot of things that have happened.
07:04It's only that you don't need to be the player that I am now.
07:09Yes.
07:10Hey Cody.
07:11Hey.
07:12Hey.
07:13Jullie zijn dit seizoen vaak op achterstand gekomen, en weten het al niet om te buigen.
07:18Volgens mij, 9 wedstrijden, waarvan 8 verloren.
07:21Wat zegt dat volgens mij?
07:23Ja, dat is natuurlijk niet goed.
07:26Ja, ik denk dat we in die wedstrijden, ik weet niet hoeveel er te zijn, ook een paar,
07:32dat we wel zijn terugkomen naar gelijkstand.
07:34Alleen dan het weer verloren in de laatste minuut.
07:37Volgens mij als ik me herinner met Crystal Palace, Chelsea, United.
07:43Misschien nog één of twee.
07:45Dus aan de ene kant laten we zien dat we ons wel kunnen terugvestigen, maar uiteindelijk niet
07:50kunnen vasthouden, of weer onze kant op kunnen drukken.
07:54Dus ja, dat is iets wat vanuit onze kant natuurlijk beter moet, om ten eerste niet achter te komen.
08:00En we zijn tweede proberen om meer te scoren, zodat we die wedstrijden kunnen gaan winnen.
08:07Ja, ik wil niet zozeer zeggen dat dat in je hoofd gaat zitten, maar het is natuurlijk niet fijn
08:14als dat een paar keer achter elkaar gebeurt, maar daarvoor trainen we.
08:18En daarvoor trainen we. En daarvoor doen we iedere dag onze nest om dat om te draaien.
08:23Hi Cody, a big part of playing as a left forward is your relationship with your left back,
08:27but also with the strikers.
08:29Obviously there's new players this season in both of those positions.
08:32How do you feel like those relationships are building?
08:34And have you found you've had to adapt your game slightly to compensate for these new players?
08:41Yeah, obviously there's new players came in.
08:43I think every time when a new player comes in,
08:47it's a little bit of an adaption or adjustment for everybody surrounding the player,
08:54because we don't know how he moves, how he passes, when he passes,
08:57how he runs, how fast he runs.
09:00So, yeah, I think that's a process.
09:03But I think it's going well, but maybe it doesn't help if we don't really win the games.
09:10So I think if we would win every game,
09:12there would still be some improvement in the relationships,
09:17but nobody would speak about it.
09:18But now because we don't win the games, this can be a topic.
09:21But I think we are working on that also on the training.
09:25Yeah, we speak with each other.
09:27We try to develop that relationship to get really to get to know each other.
09:31But, yeah, it has to come to a result that we are really going to find each other in the games
09:36and score out of these situations or help each other.
09:39Kody, could you give an insight into what the feeling is in the dressing room at the moment?
09:46Is it anger?
09:48Was it embarrassment on Saturday after the result?
09:52Do you feel you're working hard enough as players and as a team?
09:56What's the sort of feeling?
09:58I think, obviously, after the game, it was, yeah, kind of an embarrassment
10:06because we lost Trino at home in front of our own fans, which is not good
10:12because we know that they are here to help us in every tough situation,
10:16but we have to give them something back as well.
10:18So that was not a good feeling, obviously.
10:20But I think the days after that, yeah, we were just, I don't want to say angry,
10:27but, yeah, we try to speak together and really to be honest to each other
10:33what we have to do better to perform better on the pitch.
10:37But we know that we also have to stick together,
10:39and that's what we will try and do every game again
10:42and to put in good performances and get wins.
10:46Was that, sorry, was that meeting when you spoke about it as players,
10:51was that an honest meeting where you just said what needed to be said
10:55and pointed fingers maybe at each other?
10:58Because Virgil said that the players need, that everyone has to take responsibility.
11:03Yeah, and I think everybody's aware that we have to take responsibility
11:09on the pitch and also off the pitch.
11:11So this was – this is just a conversation you have with a teammate.
11:17It was not really a meeting meeting.
11:19But, yeah, we are aware of the fact that we have to take responsibility,
11:23that we have to do better certain things on the pitch.
11:26So that's what we spoke about, and obviously we are honest
11:30because otherwise there's no point of speaking.
11:33Dances in public speaking.
11:34Good evening.
11:39Cody, you were working about two years ago.
11:42Cody, you were talking about young people from the travel perspective.
11:43The communication table.
11:44You spoke about – you spoke with the last of the PSP.
11:46You spoke about – you spoke with the last of the PSP.
11:48You spoke with – you spoke with the last of the PSP.
11:49You spoke with – of isl speaking – you spoke with – you spoke with the last of the PSP.
11:50I speak so well, I speak to him, I speak to him, Joey, from time to time I speak to him, I speak to him, Mauro, a bit of the young people who were there when I was, I speak to him, I speak to him.
12:06And how are your contacts? What are you expecting from the match?
12:10No, not about the match. Not for this match. Not for this match, but a week ago.
12:20Now it's going. How are you?
12:54In the club werken die er nog steeds waren, dus het zijn allemaal hele goede mensen.
13:00En ja, ik draag ze allemaal met me mee.
13:02Hoe volg je TSC op dit moment? Gewoon een samenvatting of kijk je ook echt live wedstrijd?
13:07Ja, het ligt er een beetje aan wanneer ze spelen.
13:10Dus ik probeer wel, als het kan, gewoon te kijken.
13:14Maar ja, ze doen het goed.
13:16Als ze dan winnen in de Kuip bijvoorbeeld?
13:18Zullen ze dan toch een beetje op tafel te springen?
13:21Ja, ze ronden in de Kuip. Saibari hat-trick als ik het wild heb, die wedstrijd.
13:25Ja, dat was een mooie pot, dus dat was ik blij van.
13:30Het zal je heel vaak gevraagd zijn, morgenavond.
13:33En dat is toch vreemd voor je lijkt me.
13:36Hoe schakel je dat nou precies uit?
13:39Vreemd wil ik niet zeggen, het is iets speciaals denk ik.
13:43Dus ik denk dat het een mooi moment is om over tien, twintig jaar naar terug te kijken.
13:48Waar destijds de oude club gespeeld.
13:51Maar ja, als het sluitsignaal gaat, dan vervalt het natuurlijk.
13:55En dan wil je de laatste gewoon winnen.
13:57En dat zal morgen weer het geval zijn.
13:59En dat zal hetzelfde zijn voor de tomorrow night.
14:01Dankjewel.
14:02Succes tomorrow night.
14:04Kodi, je zei het al, je hebt met Gustil gespeeld en met Mauro Nino.
14:08En wat verplaat je nou het meest?
14:10Gustil neemt de zilverkoel aan de spitsen.
14:12De Mauro Nino in de nummer 6 is.
14:14En hij heeft een hele belangrijke rol in dit elftal speelt.
14:17Wat is de rol in dit elftal speelt?
14:18Wat is de rol in dit elftal speelt?
14:20Ik ben blij voor ze dat ze hopelijk scochten.
14:48Doe het wel, en ja.
14:50Hopefully in the not tomorrow.
14:51Dankjewel.
14:53All right, guys.
14:55Thanks.
