00:00First of all, congratulations to Man Utd for the victory.
00:07I think we started the game really well.
00:09The first half an hour we were very dominant,
00:11playing the areas that we wanted,
00:13scored a goal, had two fantastic chances to score another one.
00:17And after that we gave them the goal,
00:19which errors are part of football, very unlikely, unlike us.
00:22But we gave them the goal and hope,
00:24and that shifted the energy.
00:26Because from that to half-time we really struggled,
00:30especially to keep the ball in the right areas,
00:32after regaining the ball, what we had to do.
00:34And the game became a little bit open,
00:37and without the dominance of the first half.
00:39And after that, in the second half,
00:42well, they had two brilliant goals,
00:44some individual quality and magic moments in big games,
00:47that's a good example of that.
00:49But with the change, I think we managed to shift the energy,
00:53score the second goal, and you could feel that everything changed.
00:56And the game was there to go and win it.
00:59In the next action, none is 1v1 in the Sixer box.
01:02We don't get anything out of that.
01:03It goes to a goal kick, they close the structure,
01:05one pass, win the duel,
01:07and Cunha puts it in the perfect angle to lose all the momentum,
01:11all the good energy that we were building up,
01:13and to go and win the game for them.
01:15So, yeah, very, very disappointed, obviously.
01:19But there's a moment, especially after losing,
01:21and the joy and everything that those players are giving us,
01:24and me in particular,
01:26to take my self-responsibility
01:28and be very close to them,
01:30because it's exactly what they deserve.
01:32It seemed quite nervous times in the stadium today.
01:36Firstly, did you feel that?
01:38And secondly, do you think it affected the players?
01:40I don't know.
01:41But we have to understand that we all want to win,
01:44and the crowd is trying to be behind the team
01:47to make the best decisions and to win the game.
01:49And we need to go through that.
01:50We know what the players need,
01:52and we're going to be playing much better in the next game,
01:55like we did two and a half days ago,
01:57one of the best and toughest places in Europe to go,
02:00like against Inter Milan.
02:02So we know that we're below par,
02:04especially in sets and individual standards.
02:07And when that happens, the margin becomes very, very close.
02:10And today, they made those margins bigger,
02:12because the individual quality that they have
02:13made the difference in the game.
02:15James, that's okay.
02:16In the first half, Arsenal were in a really commanding position,
02:19having gone in front,
02:20and it felt like there were some unusual errors in the game.
02:23I'm not used to seeing the UK United encourage them.
02:26What do you think you put that down to?
02:28Difficult to say that.
02:29I think the first one probably leads to the second one,
02:33and the fact that you want to be more protective
02:35probably doesn't help to make those mistakes,
02:38because there were three or four, to be fair,
02:40very unusual today in the game.
02:42And they are part of football,
02:43and sometimes you get punished,
02:45and sometimes not.
02:46And today we got punished,
02:48and apart from that,
02:49you have to be credit to the opponent for what they've done,
02:51and in the manner that they managed to win the game.
02:54Obviously, you had a great result in the week against Inter,
02:57but in the last few weeks it feels a bit like
02:59maybe the team are playing with more comfort,
03:01more authority in the other competitions,
03:03in the Premier League,
03:04finding it a little bit more difficult.
03:06Is that something you're observing as well,
03:07and what do you put that down?
03:09Well, it depends which game.
03:10The Liverpool game was very different,
03:11the first and the second half,
03:12when we go to Forrest,
03:14and you look back what we considered,
03:15nothing,
03:16and the five big chances that we didn't score.
03:19But that's the reality as well,
03:21and we play in every three single days.
03:23I think to discriminate competitions
03:26is very difficult for me at least,
03:28to put individual performances of players
03:30or the collective one,
03:31but it's a reality that we haven't won
03:33in three games in the Premier League,
03:34and we need to pick a point now.
03:36Salud, what's the thing?
03:38Mikael, can I just ask you,
03:39Patrick Vieira was speaking on Sky after the game,
03:41and said there's still some questions
03:43about the mental strength of the team
03:45after that result?
03:46What was your reaction?
03:48That's fine.
03:49We accept every opinion,
03:52where it comes and where it's coming from,
03:54and they will have the right reasons to say it.
03:56At the end,
03:57we have to show the mental strength
03:59that we have on the pitch
04:00when it comes to match day.
04:02And we were absolutely brilliant in Milan,
04:04and today we weren't that good.
04:06I don't know if it was mental
04:07because of how much they played,
04:08but because we were poor,
04:10especially technically in certain aspects of the game,
04:13that against a team
04:14that when you make those mistakes,
04:15they can punish you big time.
04:17And that was the difference.
04:18Matt, tell a goal.
04:19There were a few moves at half-time,
04:21Kira,
04:22giving you our top of the league
04:23and top of the Champions League.
04:24That's part of the demands and the expectations
04:26that we want to win,
04:27and that's it.
04:29And individually,
04:30everybody can react in the manner that they need.
04:33OK, we'll do the last couple now.
04:34Damon,
04:35you've spoken about expectations there,
04:37but how do you control them
04:39so that they don't become overwhelming for your players?
04:41I mean,
04:42you know,
04:43that's interesting.
04:44I'm doing what we have to do.
04:45I'm doing what we're doing for seven months.
04:47Exactly that.
04:48And the position that we are still today,
04:50even we have lost.
04:51I think it's the first time sitting here this season at home,
04:53and we lost again.
04:54So,
04:55it's part of the journey to winning.
04:57And if not,
04:58nobody will lose football matches.
05:00It's how we react to that.
05:01And I am very convinced,
05:03because I know those players addressing them
05:05and how much we want it,
05:06that we're going to react immediately.
05:08And finally,
05:09Tom.
05:10I know you've been asked about the Blues in the stadium already,
05:13but when you're four points clear at the top of the table,
05:15how does it make you feel,
05:16knowing you've done what you've done to get so far this season
05:18and that's the reaction?
05:19It doesn't matter.
05:20So, we have to do more.
05:21So, maybe that's not enough.
05:22And we have to do more.
05:23There is nothing else.
05:25We have to do our very best.
05:27When you do that,
05:28you can rest in peace.
05:29And today,
05:30we really certainly try to do our very best,
05:33but we weren't efficient enough against a team
05:35that is very well organised.
05:37And we got punished,
05:38because of our own mistakes as well.
05:40Okay.
05:41Okay, guys.
