00:00On the team, do you expect any players to be back for that game?

00:04No, I don't know how Mace is going to be for that game.

00:09I think Kobe Mainu is not going to be ready.

00:11Bruno is not going to be ready.

00:13I think Matt is not going to be ready.

00:15Harry is not going to be ready.

00:17So I think we are not going to have more players.

00:22Would you expect them possibly for the Leeds game any of them back?

00:25I expect Bruno was already saying that he needs to train,

00:29but we don't know.

00:32We don't know Kobe Mainu is going to start on the pitch also.

00:37We will see.

00:39Mata is struggling a little bit.

00:42Harry the same thing.

00:43I don't expect to have the players for this game.

00:47For the other game, I don't know.

00:50With balls, obviously it's a big result tonight.

00:54but he's massive that you built momentum.

00:57Don't take a step back.

01:00Yeah, of course.

01:01We need to...

01:02And they show that against Arsenal,

01:04they could want at least one point.

01:08So in Premier League, you never know.

01:10They have their problems.

01:13We have their problems.

01:14We have our problems.

01:15But like in this game, there is no excuses.

01:18We need to win.

01:19We will try to win the game.

01:20You mentioned Bruno.

01:21I know he's very persuasive.

01:22There's no chance he's in a twist around.

01:24No chance he's going to play.

01:25No chance he's going to play against Wolves.

01:28You can write that.

01:30Hi, recruitment.

01:32On recruitment, you mentioned in the past

01:35there's been mistakes here in previous years.

01:37It's been a long-term problem.

01:39It feels like this year recruitment has been good.

01:41We've seen, you spoke about Aiden,

01:43Dawkins had a good game tonight.

01:44All the players in the summer

01:46feel like they're contributing and improving the team.

01:48Why has recruitment been right?

01:51I don't know.

01:52Sometimes you need a little bit luck.

01:53I think they have potential to do more.

01:57I think we are doing things.

01:59Sometimes I have one idea.

02:02Jason and the board have another idea.

02:05And every decision that we make,

02:07we need to reach a common ground.

02:10And that is really important

02:11because you don't need to make everything for the manager.

02:15Because the manager can change and you need to change everything.

02:18But you also need to understand

02:20that the manager understands the way of playing.

02:22And we are trying every play that comes here.

02:25If you don't reach common ground,

02:29the player will not come.

02:31So we just try to do that.

02:33We try to make all the assessments of how they live,

02:37how they train, the characteristics.

02:40And I think we did well.

02:42But I think they have more to give.

02:45And if you talk about Cunha, for example,

02:48Aiden is a young guy.

02:49Cunha and Bryan, they are from here, from our league.

02:54So it's easier for them to perform.

02:57Ruben, you've used different formations in recent weeks,

03:02different systems.

03:03You've used different players in different positions in those systems.

03:06You've used players who haven't played for a long time.

03:08Yet everyone seems to be on the same page in these last few matches.

03:12From your perspective, how satisfying is it that the coaching

03:15that you've done as a team over this time

03:17seems to be having an effect on so many different players in so many different ways?

03:21First of all, it's a process.

03:24When I came here in the last season,

03:29I understood that maybe I don't have the players to play well in that system.

03:35But it was the beginning of the process.

03:37We are trying to build an identity.

03:39Today is a different moment.

03:41We don't have a lot of players we need to adapt,

03:44but they already know that they understand why we are changing.

03:48It's not because of the pressure of you guys, of the fans.

03:52It's because now we understand the way we want to play

03:55and the principles are the same.

03:57We can change the system.

03:59I think we are going to become a better team

04:02because when all the players return,

04:05we are not going to play all the time with three defenders.

04:07We are going to improve.

04:09But that was something that I was talking about.

04:11But then when you talk about changing the system all the time,

04:15I cannot change because the players will understand that.

04:19I'm changing because of you.

04:21I think that is the end for the manager.

04:23So when we are playing well in our system,

04:27I think that is the moment to change.

04:29If it's the better thing to win the next game,

04:32that's what we did today.

04:35How pleasing is it that you seem to be having the surprise effect

04:39when you are lining up on the opposition again today

04:42and the team trying to work out what to do in that opening 10-15 minutes?

04:45Yeah, today we already knew that the way they would jump in the pressure

04:51and that will be massive.

04:53I remember the game from last year.

04:56I think they have more physicality.

04:58If we go in the back five,

05:00they already knew the players that need to jump

05:02and transform that game in one against one.

05:05One against one against this team,

05:07I think we will lose.

05:09I'm just trying to improve

05:11and all the mistakes that I did in the last season,

05:13I am trying to learn a little bit and to change things.

05:16Last question for Simon.

05:18Ruben, you mentioned about Bruno.

05:20Previously you have spoken about how he is a leader

05:24and he is invested in the team.

05:26How important is he now, even though he is not playing,

05:31speaking to the players,

05:33whatever it is delivering your messages?

05:36He cannot be that guy that is not playing,

05:40he is not talking and speaking.

05:42He is always speaking.

05:44That is why he is the captain.

05:45He has bad things sometimes,

05:48the way he moves his arms,

05:50but he has a lot of good things

05:51and he is always living the game, the practice,

05:54every time.

05:56Every time he makes recovery from the game,

05:59he is the guy that is going to watch the other guys training in that day.

06:03There is a lot of things that you guys don't see,

06:06but that he does, he is a great leader.

06:09Now, when he can't play?

06:11Yes, all the time.

06:13He is the guy that is watching the trainings,

06:15even after treatment, he is going there.

06:17I don't know if he wants my job or not,

06:20but he is a leader.

06:22The guy is a leader.

06:23Thank you guys.
