00:00Michael, you thought you should have the penalty?
00:03Well, first assess the game. Obviously, we came here to win the game.
00:07And we haven't managed to do that for different reasons.
00:10First one, credit to them because they are really well organised
00:13and they are really good at breaking momentum when you have certain dominance in the game.
00:18But the reality is we created four massive chances as well
00:21with Martinelli and Open goal, Declan Reiser tapping, Mikel and the header of Bukayo.
00:26And on top of that, obviously, a very clear penalty in the box
00:29that has not been given.
00:31So, without conceding a single shot on target, again,
00:34the fact that we haven't won the game with that is disappointing.
00:37And on top of that, I think we can do things better,
00:40especially in Celsenia's attacking.
00:43Because of Manchester City losing today, was it sort of a lost opportunity?
00:47Or the fact that you gained a point? How are you looking at it today?
00:51Yeah, every week is an opportunity, obviously.
00:53And we want to win every game.
00:55And if we would have done that, we would have been in a different position.
00:58But we made a step, a smaller one than the one that we wanted.
01:02But it's a step.
01:03Art, Athletic.
01:04And if I mentioned there, there were things you wanted to see improve in attack.
01:07I was just wondering what they were.
01:08Were they similar to the Liverpool game where, as well, your team didn't score?
01:13No, I think it was different.
01:15Obviously, the style is completely different.
01:17And what we had to do with the world, especially after regaining it in chaotic situation,
01:22which is what they proposed.
01:24We lack certain composure on the next two or three passes to be in the right areas
01:28to be able to dominate the game and not have these chaotic moments as often as we did.
01:33And then, yeah, credit to them as well.
01:36Because in every game that I've seen against them as well,
01:38is a team that is very difficult to penetrate against.
01:41So, when you have those moments, you have to make them.
01:44Because then you start to face a different game.
01:46Alex, BBC.
01:47You changed the wingers today from mid-week.
01:50Is it a case of the games catching up the squad a little bit?
01:53Or what was the thinking level?
01:54Yes, a lot.
01:55Obviously, they are.
01:56And Bukaya had a lot of minutes.
01:57And as well, he had an ego before the game.
01:59So, we need to manage our players.
02:01And we have some fantastic players that can provide different things.
02:05And we did try from the beginning.
02:07We tried after half-time as well in the next, taking more risk
02:11and bringing even more players in those attacking options.
02:14And we tried in every way.
02:16And it wasn't enough, unfortunately.
02:17One in here.
02:18Victor Djokovic put in arguably his first performance of the season
02:23in mid-week against Chelsea.
02:24Were you disappointed with his showing today at all?
02:27No, obviously.
02:28We want the players to be decisive at this level.
02:31Because we need them to score goals and create moments
02:34when we can unlock the door and get an opening which changes the game.
02:40Normally, we haven't managed to take that.
02:42And that's everybody's responsibility.
02:44Issan Dalimau.
02:45Hi, Miquel.
02:46With Abrucciete, was there a temptation to bring you on earlier
02:49just because of the magic he has and potentially blocking this game?
02:52Yeah, but we had other ways as well.
02:54And in the spaces that we could produce and the manner that they defend as well,
02:58it is very difficult to find those spaces.
03:01The spaces are in the box and creating sets and chaotic moments
03:05like we did that we should have scored a goal.
03:07Tom.
03:08Hi, Miquel.
03:09City now through four games, I think, without a win.
03:11Do you feel like you could be further ahead?
03:14If we win every game, yes.
03:17But unfortunately, we haven't won today.
03:19And the opportunity that we wanted to take, we haven't managed to do that.
03:23OK, guys.
03:24Oh, one in one.
03:25Just on the penalty, the match centre is at the shoulder first
03:29and then in Armand and that position.
03:31They are right.
03:32He hits the shoulder and then he takes the ball with the hand.
03:35So, the explanation is not right.
03:38But the rest, it's OK.
03:41The order is OK.
03:42But the timing and the intention of the player is very clear.
03:45If not, I wouldn't be sitting here saying, in my opinion, it's a very clear penalty.
03:49OK, guys.
03:50Good night.
