00:02Marco, your reflections on the performance of your team tonight?
00:07Not good, not good enough. Definitely, of course, as always, we have to be humble enough to congratulate our opponent.
00:15And definitely City were better than us and simple as that.
00:20But looking for us, as always, all the focus is more on ourselves.
00:24We are not at the level and the demands that a game like this one.
00:29We have to put on the pitch, definitely.
00:31We knew how they were going to start and that I pressed on the ball clear.
00:38We didn't play in the way we were able to play, definitely.
00:44The man-oh-man that City put most of the time during the first half, we were not able to
00:48break.
00:49One or two moments we did it.
00:50That was the reason, for example, we created a chance with Harry Wilson when the game was 1-0
00:54and we had a big chance to equalise.
00:56But even so, overall, it was not at the level that we were able to play, definitely.
01:00And, of course, because of that, I said that was not good enough.
01:04And we gave some cheap goals, as simple as that.
01:06The first goal, we tried to make a clearance the ball.
01:09Instead of the ball going in the right direction, the ball went to Semenyu.
01:13We were not able to stop the counter-attack in the second goal as well.
01:18That is the two against one on the island.
01:20We had to do much better in that moment.
01:22It was some seconds after the chance with Harry Wilson to equalise the game.
01:27Simple as that.
01:28They were better than us.
01:30Even so, not performing so well.
01:32The reality is that we had a chance with Harry Wilson to equalise the game.
01:35End of the first half, a big chance with Raoul 1v1 with Donnarum as well.
01:38This type of games, even if you don't are at our best level,
01:41when you have the chance you have to be clinical and ruthless there,
01:44you weren't.
01:44And that was the reason why we were losing the game at half-time, clearly.
01:48Second half was different.
01:50Of course, City didn't press so wide.
01:51They were winning the game.
01:52They went in a different direction.
01:54We had more control of the game.
01:56Not big chances for both sides.
01:58I think we had really balanced second half.
01:59And definitely congratulate City.
02:02But we are capable to do much better.
02:03And we cannot be happy with our performance at all.
02:07Any further questions?
02:08Jack?
02:09I think about the second half performance last week,
02:15at the weekend, and then the first half performance.
02:17Was it just a case of the fact that your approach was a little bit more...
02:24Sorry.
02:26No?
02:27No?
02:28What?
02:29It's okay?
02:30You sure?
02:30Okay.
02:31Any further questions?
02:33You good?
02:33Thanks, everyone.
