00:00and we'll set an embargo towards the end for 10.30pm this evening.
00:04We'll start with Ian.
00:06Hello, Pep.
00:07Now you've had a few days to reflect on what happened the other night
00:11and maybe watch the game back as well.
00:13How do you actually feel about that match?
00:16It's forgotten.
00:17Learn, good learning, hopefully, but it's forgotten.
00:19It's next.
00:21In Premier League, when in modern football, all the clubs,
00:23you have to learn what's happening, good things and bad things,
00:27and think of the next one.
00:29Can you forget that?
00:31You know, right now, yeah.
00:33And do you think your players can?
00:35Because, I don't know, from your perspective, when you look at it,
00:39are you more pleased about the version of your team that went 5-1 in front
00:43or are you more concerned about the team that made it 5-4?
00:47Of course I'm concerned with the good things.
00:49Yeah, we do good things and we try to understand what happened
00:53to concede the goals and don't be as good as we were in the first half.
00:58So, it's not much.
00:59Opening always count.
01:01I'm highly, highly considerate about Marco and Fulham for many, many years
01:06since it was been promoted.
01:07When he was in the championship, came here.
01:09I don't know if it was a cup or a Carabao cup.
01:11And he played really, really good.
01:14And that year was promoted for the Premier League.
01:19And I know we scored five goals there.
01:21It's not easy.
01:22The chances are we create even more.
01:24But sometimes, of course, we see what happened.
01:29You know, to lose with a good result that momentum.
01:32And it's part of the growth, part of the mistakes, part of the process that they have to accept it.
01:38And then, yeah, tomorrow, another one.
01:45It's been a crazy season in many ways already.
01:48Does Sunderland embody that more than anyone, the way that they've come into the league
01:52and the damage that they've done to the top teams already?
01:55All I can say, from my humble opinion, they deserve who they are.
02:02When you play new promoted, play three games, four games, five games.
02:05Okay.
02:06Momentum can happen.
02:08I have 14 fixtures in this Premier League, in these opponents.
02:11Like, everyone, City the first, suffer every single game, you know, to take results and be in that position.
02:19They deserve it.
02:20If you tell me what they do, there are four or five or six items, concepts they do, all of them they do well.
02:28Otherwise, they would not be what they are in this league, impossible.
02:32So, a good challenge for us.
02:34Hi, Pep.
02:36Your first ever Premier League game was against Sunderland in 2016.
02:40David Moyes was there.
02:41Yeah, you had a big smile on your face before the game.
02:44I had?
02:45Yeah, yeah.
02:46Sure?
02:46I'm sure, yeah.
02:47I just watched it, yeah.
02:48Do you still have that same level of excitement all these years on?
02:56Excitement years after that?
02:58Sorry.
02:59Sorry, Con.
03:00Tell me, tell me, sorry.
03:01I didn't understand that.
03:02I was focusing 10 years ago.
03:04Yeah, you were very excited before that game.
03:06Is there still that same level of excitement all those years on?
03:09Different one.
03:11It's a different one.
03:12We are not the same like 10 years ago.
03:14So, the first game in the Premier League at home, the expectations that I had or all the
03:23people were around, the staff 10 years later, the score is different.
03:27I'm not saying it's better or worse.
03:28It's completely different.
03:30It's normal.
03:31And before that game, you said you were looking forward to seeing the Premier League in real
03:37life, not just on television.
03:39How has that experience been during all those years?
03:43It was fulfilled.
03:45If you tell me, it reflects 10 years.
03:47How was my experience or what I live here?
03:49I don't have enough words to express what I live in a mainly good moment, but bad moment
03:57as well.
03:58The incredible people I met here.
04:00So, it has been an exceptional journey, I would say.
04:03All I can say.
04:04It has been top.
04:06And just separately, Thomas Tuchel has spoken to the BBC and said during the World Cup,
04:12England substitutes will stay in the dressing rooms because of the high temperatures.
04:17Having experienced that during the Club World Cup, just explain how to.
04:21Yeah, 94 was the United States of America.
04:23We played in Dallas one day and wow.
04:29We were out and maybe it would have been better to be inside like Thomas.
04:34Maybe he will decide.
04:35So, yeah.
04:37In some parts, I don't know, in the States, in Mexico, what happened in summertime, it's
04:41hot.
04:41So, a lot of irritation.
04:45Yeah, a lot of drinks.
04:53Hi, Pep.
04:54Going back to the goals conceded specifically, obviously the four at Fulham and the two against
05:00Leeds as well at the Etihad.
05:02You speak there about learning from mistakes or experiences of moving on.
05:07What has been your message to the group?
05:09What learnings do you take from specifically those two games?
05:12Because Sunderland at the weekend will present a lot of problems as well, won't they?
05:15Yeah, you're right.
05:16And the three goals against Leeds and the five goals against Fulham as well.
05:19Yeah?
05:20You can see the two versions.
05:21Yeah.
05:21Right?
05:22So, always we have done many good things.
05:25So, how many shoots and targets had Leeds?
05:28Three?
05:30It's for two.
05:31I took up, but it's not bad.
05:32How many shoots and targets had?
05:33Four, maybe six, five, six.
05:35So, the average for the shoot and we can see this high.
05:39Had to improve.
05:40Of course you had to improve.
05:41Of course.
05:41So, all the goals was in the edge.
05:43We didn't have players there to defend in that position.
05:46And, yeah, we would talk today, maybe tomorrow morning, you know, but different opponents,
05:50different qualities.
05:52Like, had Fulham, the way they play is a little bit different.
05:56And, yeah, of course, I don't like to concede two goals and four goals and six goals in
06:10two games.
06:11But, at the same time, we are the team scoring the most and we have to build from that, you
06:15know, have to fix these kind of things that we believe we can do better and lose what we
06:21are and create chances, chances and goals because we are building a team for that.
06:25But, of course, so, we concede four goals in games and three goals in games and goals
06:29that will be so difficult.
06:31We have to be more solid.
06:32Yeah, right.
06:33But, belong to everyone, not just for the keepers or defenders.
06:36I saw the game, I had the feeling, the diagnosis, what do you have to do?
06:41And the players will know it today.
06:43Can I ask about Reynet Nori?
06:45Obviously, he came in in the summer.
06:47The club spent a fair amount of money on him.
06:49Started just three games in the Premier League.
06:52I know he's had injuries, but is he taking a bit longer to settle than you'd hope?
06:59Ryan playing in the World Cup was really good in the season.
07:02Played the first game in the Wolves.
07:03Played the second against the Spurs and after we're injured.
07:05And after came Rico.
07:08And Nico O'Reilly have performed really well.
07:10It's the only reason.
07:11No more than that.
07:13We are really pleased against Ryan Nori and I know he's going to help us.
07:16He came not just for a certain period, for a long time.
07:19He knows the Premier League, can be ductile, can play outside, inside, can play in different positions.
07:25But now Nico's playing really good.
07:28You know, and that is the only reason why.
07:30It's difficult for the players.
07:31Even for you, in all respect, it doesn't matter.
07:35I could not care less.
07:36But for my players, of course, it's difficult to understand.
07:39But it's the only reason why.
07:41The only reason why.
07:42On that basis then, Nico started six of the last seven.
07:46He came on at half-time for Ryan in the other game.
07:48Obviously, it's a lot of football, a lot of workload.
07:50Do you get in the sense that at some point he will need a rest over the next game, two games, three games?
07:55Yeah.
07:57Yeah, maybe.
07:58That's why I rotate maybe too much.
08:00Obviously, too much against Leverkusen.
08:02But the only reason why is it was that.
08:04It's, you know, two fresh legs.
08:05And it all happened in the second half against Fulham.
08:09Our legs could not run more.
08:11So there's a lot, a lot of games with energy.
08:14That there was a decision in Leverkusen and it happened that.
08:17Because we dropped mainly because of the lack of energy in our intensity that we have in the first half.
08:22Like we're getting a lot of balls, create a lot of chances.
08:25We're playing a really, really good game in a tough, tough place.
08:27And, yeah, so, yeah, maybe it's going, I don't know when.
08:32But, yeah, but at the same time, it's young.
08:34No, it's not, I don't know, Bernardo maybe or other players like they are already grandfathers.
08:42He's so young.
08:43He's a local teenager and recover well.
08:46And, yeah, we see.
08:47We see day by day.
08:50Hi, Pep.
08:50Is Rodri available this weekend?
08:54No.
08:56It's getting better.
08:58If you are happy for my answer, it's getting, getting better.
09:01So, I don't know how long, but it's in the edge that in few years we'll be ready.
09:11Is he brutal out for Real Madrid as well?
09:13Or is there a chance?
09:14Ask me in Madrid.
09:17Fred?
09:18Pep, again, for about the previous two games, like for a manager that is labeled or seen as someone that loves the control,
09:26it seems like you could have fun as well after at least the final whistle.
09:32After the final whistle?
09:34Yeah.
09:34If I was relieved.
09:36You can look at the entertainment side of it.
09:38Oh, yeah, absolutely.
09:41It has to be one of the games of the year, right?
09:44Of the season.
09:45I don't know.
09:46In these awards, right?
09:47In the month, they say the game of the week?
09:49Yeah.
09:50We are candidates.
09:52Fulham and I was there.
09:53We are candidates to win that game.
09:54That's for sure.
09:56Definitely.
09:57And you are running a lot, like in terms of...
10:00If I would be at home, at home and so far watching that game, I said, I don't change the channel.
10:07I'm pretty sure the broadcasters are happy with us.
10:10They have a consideration to Marcos and myself.
10:12Give me a bottle of wine for all of us.
10:14No, I'm not joking.
10:17I'm joking.
10:18Broadcasters must be happy.
10:19Might be.
10:21You were?
10:22I was, absolutely.
10:24I was...
10:24I paid for you.
10:25I was having a bottle of wine.
10:27Can I ask about the...
10:29You've been running a lot, like in terms of like distance, COVID.
10:33I think it's above the average.
10:35Do you know why is that intended?
10:36That's not good.
10:38That's not good.
10:40When you play better, you run less.
10:42You have to run a lot, but you have a good spirit.
10:44That is a good point.
10:46That is a good point.
10:47Because what happened last season, last season we could run, but we didn't run.
10:50Your level was not good.
10:52It was all the time, so...
10:54I'm not...
10:55I'm not naive to understand that you have to, you know, happen in two games.
11:00You have to try to, you know, to do it better.
11:04So, it's reality.
11:05But at the same time, I'm an incredible optimistic person and positive person.
11:09And I want to see the good things that we have done.
11:12Against Leeds, it will happen afterwards.
11:15One for me.
11:16The best manager in the world, Enzo Mareska.
11:18I know him quite well, but the job I've done in Chelsea is not credit enough.
11:24Working in the World Cup, conference, qualification in the Champions League.
11:27And that league is so tough.
11:30Young team, how develop all the players.
11:33So, it's exceptional.
11:34And go well and roti, it will happen.
11:36So, it's really, really, really, really difficult.
11:39You are able to win games, games, games.
11:42And after, you don't know why, you are lose, lose, lose games.
11:46Only happen in this league, in this country.
11:49Can happen that.
11:50That's why it's always a gift.
11:52Incredible credit.
11:53When we won 4-5 in Fulham, there's a moment in the right moment.
11:59I said, oh my God.
12:01But, after that, I reflect a little bit.
12:03I said, okay, take the positive things.
12:06Not just the three points.
12:07Of course, the helpers, you know, the many things that we have done good.
12:10And the last one on me.
12:12We have the World Cup draw today.
12:14And can I borrow you as a pundit for a moment?
12:16Who are the main candidates in your point of view?
12:19Same ones.
12:22Everybody knows.
12:22We will be agree about the candidates.
12:24Maybe we'll be surprised, but we will be agree if we name the three or four or five candidates.
12:28Everybody knows it.
12:30I would like England to be there.
12:33I don't want to pretend to be too nice, but I've been here for many years and be part of that country.
12:43I would love Thomas and the people who can make the last step and do it.
12:48Set the embargo there for 10.30pm.
