00:05Oh, hi everyone. Same process as before, please. We'll start with...
00:10...questions from English media followed by any questions from Turkish media.
00:13We'll take a share of answer questions.
00:14We'll start with Martin.
00:18Hi, Jeremy.
00:19How important...
00:19...is it that you get in the top eight tomorrow night and avoid a playoff...
00:24...like you had last season?
00:26Very important.
00:27I think if we're in the top eight, obviously you...
00:29...you don't play two games and with the amount of...
00:34...the games that we have now, two games less is good for us.
00:38So, yeah.
00:39We just want to win this game and control everything that we have in our hands.
00:43And then see where it brings us.
00:46It was a very difficult night for the club in...
00:48...Norway.
00:48You obviously missed that one through injury.
00:50Could you tell us what happened there after the...
00:53...the derby, what your injury was?
00:56Yeah.
00:57Obviously, I got a...
00:58...and I knocked on my knee and that prevented me to play against...
01:03...in Norway, because I was still in pain.
01:07And, yeah, that was the reason.
01:08That was...
01:08...I didn't play, but I feel good now.
01:10So, yeah.
01:11Good job.
01:13Just regarding the injury, it was obviously a challenge from Dalot.
01:18How...
01:18How did you feel about it?
01:19It looked pretty X-rated, let's put it that way at the time.
01:23Yeah, no, I saw the images as well.
01:26Yeah.
01:27What can I say?
01:27I can only say...
01:28...I continue to play, but afterwards, the game, I guess, no, we would...
01:32It was pain.
01:33It was painful to play, so I didn't.
01:35And, yeah, I think you guys know my feeling about...
01:38...as a sort of, you know, you're all top professionals, you know, probably.
01:43Mm-hmm.
01:43There's certain challenges which maybe aren't, you know.
01:48Nice.
01:49You know, how does it make you feel when that happens, when another sort of top pro does that?
01:51Because, you know, it could be...
01:52You could be out...
01:53...for a very long time.
01:55I could have, but, yeah, look.
01:58...that happened, it's like...
02:03...that happened, I didn't play, I guess, in no way, and that's it.
02:06Like, I don't want to get too much into it.
02:08Because it's a pass now.
02:11Thanks to the Lord, I didn't get injured back.
02:13...and that I'm able to play now, so that's the only thing where I can focus on now.
02:18Hi, Jeremy.
02:19Just speaking sort of more generally on tackles and how you come up against...
02:23...sort of markers and things like that, there was obviously a challenge on Saturday that people...
02:28...were talking about after, where you got scrapes down the back of the leg.
02:33Like, do you think you get enough, or do you think wingers and fast attack?
02:38Because get enough protection from, like, the laws of the game or the referees at the moment.
02:43I don't know, in general, I can just say about that tackle, obviously...
02:48...was painful.
02:49I didn't ask the ref why he didn't give another call.
02:53I just know that it was painful, just knowing myself and my character.
02:58I know that I'm not a diver, so if I fall on the ground, it's probably because something happened.
03:03At the end of the day, in terms of laws, in terms of... I don't know. I just...
03:08I just know that when I'm on the ground, I'm not diving, so then it's...
03:13...their responsibility to see if this is yellow, or red, or foul.
03:18If it's not a foul, that's their job.
03:22How many times...
03:23Every week do you think you get, like, a really heavy knock from a tackle?
03:28In games, you mean?
03:29Yeah.
03:30How many times?
03:31Just sort of on average.
03:33Good question.
03:34Um...
03:35Good question.
03:36Um...
03:37Good question.
03:38Good question.
03:38Um...
03:39You know, that's a good question.
03:42I would say...
03:43A week...
03:43If there are two games in a week, I would say...
03:46Most of the time, at least one in a game.
03:48And this one in a game where I feel like, oh...
03:50This...
03:51This is a strong tackle.
03:52This is a heavy...
03:53Uh...
03:54Confrontation.
03:55So...
03:56I would say once a game.
03:59Hi, Jeremy.
04:00How nice was it to see Arsenal lose?
04:03Uh...
04:04It's...
04:05It's...
04:06It's difficult to say because...
04:08It's not that I find joy in...
04:11I didn't watch the game, honestly.
04:13I didn't watch the game.
04:14Um...
04:15But yeah, I saw that they lost.
04:16But...
04:17I knew there are a lot of games.
04:18In this competition.
04:19And I knew that...
04:20United...
04:21We lost against them.
04:22But they played very well.
04:23They played very well.
04:24Uh...
04:25We were not out there our best as well.
04:26But, um...
04:28There are a lot of games.
04:29And we just need to focus on ourselves.
04:31Um...
04:32We need to do our job.
04:33And...
04:34We...
04:35We still play against them as well.
04:36So...
04:37A lot of things will happen.
04:38So, yeah.
04:39I wasn't really focused on that.
04:40But obviously, if they lose, it's better for us.
04:42For sure.
04:43Um...
04:44How much will it potentially help you in this title race if you're able to get into the...
04:48Top 8 in this competition and avoid those extra two matches?
04:51I feel a lot.
04:52I feel...
04:53I feel...
04:53It will help us a lot.
04:54Less games means also more rest.
04:57More rest means...
04:58Hopefully, less injuries as well.
05:00Because, um...
05:01We have...
05:02We have quite a...
05:03A lot of injuries now.
05:04Um...
05:05And I feel like, yeah.
05:06If we can avoid those two games, it will be...
05:08Beneficial for us.
05:09Um...
05:10To rest a bit more.
05:11So, yeah.
05:12That will help us.
05:13Hi, Jeremy.
05:14Hi.
05:15When you go on the pitch now compared to before you joined City...
05:18What kind of things are in your head?
05:21Like, has it changed a lot...
05:23Over the last three years the kind of things you have to do?
05:25Or is it very similar to how you've always done it?
05:28Um...
05:29It depends game by game, you know?
05:32Um...
05:33When I go on the pitch, if I play against a team...
05:36I'm just thinking of my task.
05:38That's what I need to do.
05:39And...
05:40And just to...
05:41Also be confident, uh...
05:42When I go on the pitch.
05:43And to...
05:44And to...
05:45And to...
05:46Just think about my qualities.
05:48And...
05:49What I want to do in that game.
05:50Who I gonna play against...
05:51My opponent.
05:52And I'm just going for...
05:53And focus on that.
05:54So that didn't...
05:55That doesn't really change a lot.
05:56No.
05:57Just more about...
05:58Oh.
05:58Tactical.
05:59Okay.
06:00What does the coach demand from me?
06:01And then that's it.
06:02Then I just focus on myself.
06:03And what I want.
06:03What I want to do.
06:04And when you're in that position to cross.
06:05And you're looking up.
06:06And you know Erling's...
06:08Pretty much always making the back post run.
06:10And you may have players coming to the front post.
06:13Is that...
06:14Is that basically the plan all the time?
06:16You know Erling's always gonna be.
06:18Back post.
06:19Would you prefer him to maybe come near post?
06:22Or is everything...
06:23Drilled.
06:24And that's how it is.
06:25Is...
06:26When you're looking for those targets.
06:27Is...
06:28Is...
06:28Is that what you know is gonna be the case?
06:30No.
06:31I feel like...
06:32It's difficult to say...
06:33This is how it's gonna happen.
06:35We prepare...
06:36You can prepare something and then...
06:37In the game...
06:39The free...
06:40The free space is somewhere else.
06:41So...
06:43When I'm in that position.
06:44I always keep my head up.
06:45And try to look for the...
06:47For the rights.
06:48Player to...
06:49To pass to...
06:50And...
06:51Sometimes he...
06:52He's...
06:53Second...
06:53Post.
06:54Sometimes he's...
06:55First post.
06:56Sometimes he's...
06:57I remember against Dortmund he was more...
06:58And 16 yrs...
07:00When a possible...
07:01To him.
07:02So...
07:03It depends!
07:04A few...
07:03like it's not something uh obviously there is a conversation for sure but there's not something
07:08that
07:08is uh it's always like this no uh it changes it depends also on the
07:13component and we adapt thanks
07:18hi jeremy just
07:23sort of the treatment that you get in in games what is more frustrating to you as a
07:28as a wing of the fowls that you pick up or when people think that you're diving
07:46you
07:33um for me fowls is fine as long obviously if i don't get injured
07:52you
07:38but fowls is fine because it shows that for as it doesn't compliment that they can't take
07:57you
07:43the ball it's more something like that for me it's more the diving thing when i don't get far
07:48out i'm not diving that's sometimes frustrating because i know no i don't
08:07you
07:53my character you know if i fall on the ground it's because something happened or
07:57i wouldn't fall on the ground
07:58like sometimes even the players tell me fall more on the ground you know so uh yeah
08:03that's for me more frustrating for sure
08:06and can i just ask as well you seem to be playing
08:08uh more inside this season at times is that something that you've been
08:22you
08:13working on and are you
08:14enjoying that um yeah i'm enjoying it i feel like it's
08:18it it's more unpredictable um and it gives me more options as well
08:32you
08:23so i can play on the inside i can play on the outside and
08:26yeah it changes my game as well
08:28and and and and i feel like if i can grow it that if i can grow there as well
08:33it will be beneficial for me so yeah
08:37take some questions from
08:38turkish media
