00:00To the other one.

00:02If you believe it's for one player, it's easy for me.

00:05The energy comes from the other one, you with me, you with me, you with me.

00:09So it's as simple as that.

00:12We are lucky that we have early decisions and what they have done.

00:17But we have a lot, a lot of importance.

00:20You know that when you have every three, four days, three, four days,

00:23during one day sustain it a lot.

00:25So imagine how help us Max coming here,

00:28otherwise we will have more difficult than what happened in the past.

00:30But we have to live with that, we have to deal with that,

00:32and that makes us stronger.

00:34And our spirit that we have in the difficulties in Caraba,

00:37we have in Newcastle for many reasons,

00:39we responded to that.

00:41And today we are not able to do it.

00:48We need Erling and we need all of them.

00:50I don't know who Omar comes and Erling is going to play.

00:53Erling is so important for us.

00:55And we see what happens next game.

00:57Today we have to travel to Norway right now.

00:59And, you know, I'm going there to see how they recover.

01:02Not just physically here, how they, I can smell how they feel.

01:06And after, continue.

01:08So we did it last season and we continue this one.

01:10And that he is coming back soon.

01:12And, yeah, try to be there.

01:15Will Omar be ready for Norway?

01:18No, I don't think so.

01:20And Semenyo can't play in the game, but will he travel with the squad?

01:25No, I didn't speak, I don't know.

01:27Maybe it gives time to settle good, you know, arrive one day after play

01:32and, you know, to try to do it.

01:35You just talked about Omar.

01:37It was a struggle to create much today.

01:40Is Omar a different type of attacker who can maybe bring something different to the front three?

01:46Omar is an exceptional player.

01:51He's moving behind exactly.

01:52But it would be so poor for me to say the reason why we didn't get results today or the previous line

01:57because Omar is not here.

01:58So it's not fair for him, not fair for the team.

02:01Not all the guys are here day by day to try to do it.

02:04Just on Rodri's performance, he got 30 minutes in midweek, he got 90 minutes today.

02:09It was tough for him at times.

02:11I think if it was the best Rodri you'd expect a better performance.

02:14But where is today in terms of getting him back to where he needs to be?

02:18The Rodri will play better and everyone will play better when the team will be better.

02:23So, of course, come from 18 months out.

02:26So it's normal that we need the time.

02:28But today is a positive, play 90 minutes, play good.

02:31Of course, there is a bad guy.

02:32It doesn't matter, his personality, to go there.

02:34And, of course, it's necessary.

02:37Last one.

02:38If I'm not mistaken, you went to Casemiro and Maguire after the game

02:42and you praised them for their performances.

02:43Sorry?

02:44You went after the game, if I'm not mistaken,

02:46you went to Casemiro and Maguire and praised them for their performances.

02:49Why was it so difficult for your team to create chances today?

02:53I can't remember many games where you had as little shots on target as today.

02:59Yeah, yeah.

03:00We didn't have the energy to go.

03:01Yeah.

03:02They defend well.

03:03They defend so deep.

03:04We took six – back six or seven players there.

03:07It's not easy.

03:08Now you need to dribble.

03:09You need the passes.

03:10You need the movement.

03:11And what I said, we didn't – it happened.

03:13It's not just one player.

03:15So – so we talk about that.

03:17These type of games – not just derby.

03:19These type of games are the way we need an energy that we had.

03:22Last season we have.

03:23But we had.

03:24Today we didn't have it.

03:25And that's why I can talk about what happened a lot, but that is not the reason why.

03:31So we were – we were not – they were better.

03:34So we are to let them and learn from that for the future.

03:37Thank you, everyone.

03:38Thank you, guys.
