00:00I thought the first half, the way you came back, you looked the likelier to go on and win that.
00:03So from your perspective, what changed the second half that enabled PSV to regain the initiative?
00:10Mainly the goal, I think.
00:12Although in the start of the second half, before they scored the goal,
00:17we already struggled more than in the first half.
00:19We had more problems, or I wouldn't say problems,
00:22but we had more difficulty in being as aggressive in the press as we were in the first half.
00:27That had a bit to do with Hugo Ikitike, who straight after halftime felt his back a little bit,
00:35and that's why his press wasn't as aggressive as the first 45 minutes.
00:40And I know, because I follow the Dutch league, if you are not aggressive enough against PSV,
00:45they have players that can outplay you, because they are a very good team,
00:51very good football players on the ball.
00:54And that's what we saw in the second goal they scored.
00:56But again, after they scored the second goal, I think we had our chances to equalise.
01:03But not for the first time this season, we don't take the chances we have.
01:07We obviously saw individual mistakes as well for the goals.
01:10I know there probably wasn't enough of a push, maybe, on Virgil for the penalty as the arm went up.
01:16Mo could possibly have done more for the second goal,
01:19and it was a mistake from Kanate for the third.
01:21I mean, what do you put those individual errors down to at the moment?
01:27I think it's always about the team, and I think we can all do better.
01:36Individuals, the three you were talking maybe about, but I think this goes for everyone, including myself.
01:40So I don't think this is the time to emphasise on individual errors.
01:45It's more the time to talk about the team instead of the individual errors,
01:52because individual errors are made in football,
01:55and we have to make sure that if we make them, we react or make it up.
02:05I think that's the better word, to make it up, so that it doesn't lead to a goal.
02:10And if it does lead to a goal, that we are good enough then to come back into the game,
02:14and that's a team thing and not an individual thing.
02:17Just to check then, take it that Kanate substitution was purely tactical
02:21rather than taking him out of the firing line.
02:23Yeah, I find that one difficult, because up to the moment you were just describing,
02:30I think he played a good game.
02:32But if you go 3-1 down, I think the thing, what I've always done,
02:38and what I will keep doing, is then bring an extra attacker in.
02:42And I found that hard, because I knew that the outside world would probably then focus
02:48even more on the error he made.
02:51But I think it was the decision I had to make, but unfortunately it didn't lead to anything,
02:55except then that they scored the 4-1.
02:57Is it too dramatic to say the players are a bit shell-shocked at the moment?
03:01What are you seeing from them in the dressing room?
03:03What is shell-shocked?
03:05Bereft of confidence, just shocked at the way things have gone over the last few weeks?
03:11I think it's a shock for everyone, for the players, for the journalists over here, for me,
03:15for everyone this is a shock.
03:16That is very, very, very unexpected if you look at the quality we are having.
03:21So, is it a lack of confidence?
03:23I didn't see that in the first half.
03:25Of course, it's hard if you concede straight after losing 3-0, straight into this game,
03:31you concede the goal.
03:32But I saw the mentality that these players have shown so many times since I'm here.
03:38Came back.
03:39In a way, you would like to come back, so created chances.
03:42We kept them on their half.
03:43And after another setback by conceding the 2-1, I also saw us creating chances again to score the 2-2.
03:53But in the end of the game, I did saw that it affected maybe one or two players that we were 3-1, 4-1 now.
03:59Yeah, that's true.
04:00Anna, you said there needs improvement from everybody, including yourself.
04:07But do you think it's – there's been discussion about your position.
04:12Do you think that's fair after somebody who has won the title five, six months ago?
04:18I don't think it's important if it's fair or not, but that it's normal.
04:23That I understand.
04:24If any manager around the world loses football games, let alone so many as we've lost,
04:30it's quite normal that people have an opinion about that.
04:33And if that's fair or not fair, that's for the people to judge.
04:36But that it's normal.
04:39I think it is that if you lose so many times that people start talking about that.
04:46Did you say with Hugo it wasn't a specific kind of injury for him when he came on his wall?
04:55No, I don't know. He felt his back spasm or back spasm, yeah.
04:58Just one down, Mike.
05:02Arne.
05:03Goedenavond.
05:04Je spelers maken fouten die we hebben niet van ze kennen, van dit soort topspelers gewend zijn.
05:09Er zijn ook goede fases, maar ze maken soms hele gekke beslissingen, gekke keuzes.
05:13Wat kan jij daar als trainer mee? Je zei dat je altijd de verantwoordelijkheid op je moet nemen,
05:18maar je ziet het gebeuren. Wat kan je ermee? En hoe kom je hier nog uit?
05:22Nou, ik zie ze niet echt heel lang gekke keuzes maken.
05:25Ik zie ze over het algemeen heel goede keuzes maken.
05:27Dat wijt er ook toe dat we over het algemeen ongelooflijk dominant zijn in wedstrijden.
05:32Alleen, wat ik wat minder zie is dat we vanuit de vele goede keuzes die we maken,
05:37dat dan ook omzetten naar goals.
05:38En op het moment dat we dat niet doen, ja, dan blijft de wedstrijd constant beide kanten opvallen.
05:44En dan, op momenten, zie je inderdaad wel eens een keuze die, of nou niet een keuze,
05:49maar een uitvoering van een actie die je niet misschien gewend bent.
05:55Maar dat heeft denk ik ook wel een beetje te maken met het feit dat de score dan ook is zoals die is.
06:00Dus om het hier anders zien, vanuit hoe je speelt, 1-2-1, 3-1 voorstaat,
06:05dan denk ik dat je ook die uitvoering van die acties, die we nu wat meer zien, dan minder zouden zien.
06:11Het is een merkwaardige situatie voor Liverpool, al deze nederlagen.
06:14Je merkt het ook, er komen vragen zelfs over jou, nadat je ze vorig jaar kampioen hebt gemaakt.
06:18Voel jij je nog helemaal zeker en veilig van je plek op dit moment als hoofdrainer?
06:22Ik denk dat het altijd zo is, dat een trainer zich tot de laatste dag veilig voelt.
06:29Ik heb er eerder gemerkt dat ik heel veel steun krijg van bovenaf.
06:36Alleen, het zou ook prettig zijn als we dat nou eens een keer gaan omzetten, een overwinning.
06:44Ik denk dat het ook zo hoort te zijn, dat zolang een trainer ergens werkzaam is,
06:50dat je hem het gevoel geeft dat hij nog de juiste trainer voor je is.
06:54En dat je dat niet doet, zou ik een beetje gek zijn.
06:58Dus dat gevoel heb ik zeker en het is niet voor de eerste keer dat we bij deze club in een moeilijke situatie zitten nadat we kampioen zijn geworden.
07:07Maar ja, het zou toch wel een keer tijd worden dat we wedstrijden gaan.
07:10We won een match again, isn't it?
07:12Arne, are you worried about your position as manager with all the defeats?
07:17Je zei uiteindelijk dat er een way uit met de kwaliteit van de spelers.
07:22Maar als de kwaliteit niet zich erbij, wat gebeurt?
07:28Ik denk dat de kwaliteit niet zich erbij.
07:31Ik zie dat de kwaliteit niet zich erbij.
07:33Maar het is niet reflecteerd in de score of in de resultaten, dat is clear.
07:38Maar no, ik ben niet worried.
07:42Wat ik met dat is dat mijn focus is on andere dingen dan worrying about mijn eigen position.
07:46Ik probeer te analyseren, probeer de spelers as moeilijk als ik kan.
07:51En het is obvious dat ik het niet doe in de manier dat ik dat laatste season.
07:54Want als je over individuale eroers, dat is ook iets dat komt van een team effort.
08:00So, again, I need to do better, and that's what I'm trying to do every single day,
08:06to improve the team.
08:09And that is where my main focus is, to be honest.
08:13Van de Franseer.
08:19Hi, Arne.
08:20It sounded like you said in Dutch that you got support from people above you.
08:24I mean, have you had those conversations with Richard Hughes, with people like that,
08:29about your own situation at the moment?
08:32Ja, but not in the sense that they tell me every single minute,
08:34we support you, we support you, we support you.
08:36But we talk a lot if we are winning last season and if we are losing.
08:43And then they are helpful to me, to the team.
08:52So, yeah, we do have those conversations, but they don't call me every single minute of the day
08:57to tell me that they still trust me.
09:01But we do have the normal conversations, and in those conversations I feel the trust.
09:06But I haven't spoken to them after this game yet.
09:09So, yeah, let's see.
09:12Monde Bach.
09:18Hi, Arne.
09:19What vond je van PSV, and why didn't you get grip on the second half?
09:22What do you think about PSV, and how did you grip on the second half?
09:27I think that PSV can very well football, as you give time and time,
09:32so that you have to avoid so much.
09:33And that have we in very small phases in the second half not done.
09:37But they are then in place to put a couple of goals on the mat, where the goals came out of the third half.
09:43Although the third half is not a schitter of ours, but a fault for us.
09:46When it's a third goal for them.
09:48But the second goal was a second goal.
09:50And I have to say that I didn't feel that the wedstrijd had to play on our half.
09:56But if they played there in half, then it can be.
10:00So I think that we, that we, I think that we, I think that we have a lot of ball in the whole wedstrijd.
10:07But that there are also phases that we can make the players from PSV easier to win, that I have also seen.
10:13PSV played it quite well, and we'll see you for it.
10:16With all the, all the talk about your job in here, how, how, how do you feel personally?
10:30Are you going home after these defeats?
10:33And how long does it take you personally to get over defeats in this bad run of form?
10:40Long, longer than after win, because after win, you're straight away focused on the next one.
10:49Now you try to find answers as much as you can, but that's not as simple as people might think it is,
10:56because if it would have been that simple, I would have used those answers for us to start winning again.
11:01But the focus is, as always in football, is, is mainly also about trying to prepare them for the next game.
11:10And preparing them is not only tactically, that could also mean that I have, that I need to have individuals' conversations tomorrow,
11:16or team, team conversations with players.
11:18I try to put as much effort in as I can to improve the situation.
11:24And not only me, by the way, my staff does the same, and the players are putting in a lot, a lot, a lot of effort,
11:31as well, although sometimes when you look at 3-0 loss, 4-1 loss, you tend to feel as if we don't do enough.
11:39But again, today I saw a team that was trying after multiple setbacks, but unfortunately not able to get a result.
