00:00Good evening, Ruben, we're very glad to have you after some of the games, but it was a period
00:06of frustration after a result.
00:07Yeah, it's frustration, it's angry, that's it.
00:14Helping you get a team to maybe perform better, I suppose, and put that to bed.
00:20It's working again and trying to win the next one.
00:25Sorry.
00:25Ruben, the only second half your team has won this season was the one at Bristol Palace
00:30on Sunday, where Palace obviously tie up at Premier League, why do you think your team
00:34are having so many difficulties in the second half of games and winning games?
00:39Yeah, but there are second halves that we lose control of the game today, I think it was
00:43not that case.
00:45Maybe after the first goal, we lost some second balls and Matils won one or two second balls
00:51there and make a transition.
00:52We tried to defend all the time, far from the goal, because we knew it.
00:57They tried to make a cross, win a corner, like it happened.
01:01Long ball, they win a second ball against three guys of us in the defence.
01:08So we need to be better in the second half.
01:11Samuel, Ruben, you made fire changes overall.
01:15Four of them were defensive players who came on.
01:17I know it probably didn't have the impact that you wanted, but in hindsight, would you
01:21not have been that conservative when you were 1-0 up?
01:24No.
01:26We are losing because of the second ball.
01:28Sometimes there's not more men in front that you are going to win the ball.
01:33We have more men to put in the offence.
01:36Who?
01:37Who would be more offence?
01:40Offence.
01:41I understand.
01:42It was not quite a lot, but it was Cobby Manning.
01:45Yes, it was the second ball and Mateus was, I was worried with Mateus.
01:49I know that Bruno reached the box really well.
01:53Mason Mount is playing in this position.
01:56So I try, they were trying to push us.
01:58Brian is, have a lot of pace to try to win the ball in one transition.
02:03So that was my idea.
02:06Ruben, you came in and said, look, straight and angry.
02:09What were you frustrated and angry at?
02:11Because your team obviously has made progress this season, but over the last few weeks,
02:16it seems to have come back.
02:18No, it's not going back.
02:19With the results going backwards, we had some moments.
02:22Again, that can happen when one team, you were talking about when we had that run,
02:31that the team was really perfect and the world is saying we are really,
02:35we are not far from being in the perfect moment.
02:38We are really inconsistent.
02:41But if you look at the goal, 83 minutes, we have a long ball.
02:46We have everything under control.
02:48We need to do better.
02:50Thanks.
02:50Ruben, do you have that sort of sense with the team at the moment,
02:54just that one goal is not going to be enough?
02:57You led against Forest, you led against Spurs, you led to playing,
03:00you did not win any of those games.
03:01Do you always feel that they love that and are going to struggle for that?
03:06Yeah, I always have the feeling, I think everyone has the feeling that
03:10we need to score more goals and that is sure.
03:14Even with Brighton, we were 3-0 and then suddenly,
03:18so we suffer with that.
03:19We are inconsistent.
03:21We need to improve.
03:23Robin and Jamie.
03:25When you were talking about second balls and jewels and losing out,
03:28that's obviously not a tactical thing.
03:30Is it a desired thing?
03:31Is it a lack of energy?
03:32No, second ball sometimes is tactical things.
03:34We try to adjust with the players that we put and then we control.
03:38We had in the final minutes, we had the possession, the ball was far from the opponent,
03:44was not a clear full press from the opponent.
03:48We cannot let a team that is so much taller than us to have a corner when the ball is in
03:55the goalkeeper.
03:55So, this kind of details makes the difference and today, a corner in the second half made
04:01the difference.
04:01No, I'm guessing the players are as well because they don't want to see it like that.
04:07Is it your style to go into the changing room after this kind of goal being in the city
04:12and sort of directly?
04:14No.
04:15Do you leave the next day?
04:16No, in that regard, I'm almost always consistent.
04:23I had one, and you know, Brighton last year.
04:27So, I will talk to them tomorrow a little bit.
04:30You just calm when you level it.
04:33Yeah, yeah.
