00:01Hi Pep Omerov, I'm BBC Sports Tactics Correspondent.
00:04I just want to bring to your attention a very old column you wrote.
00:08In 2006, you spoke about Spain versus Tunisia.
00:11Tunisia set up in a very compact shape
00:14and you described the Spanish front three as being positionless, very fluid.
00:18I think it was Torres, David Villa and Garcia.
00:21Obviously, this season you've used your front three in a narrow manner,
00:26a very fluid manner as well, especially in the last couple of weeks.
00:31My question, I suppose, is in that column you spoke about how
00:35when the Spanish players drop deep from the first line,
00:39if they do it too quickly, the midfield gets very congested.
00:42How do you find that balance and how do you coach players like Semenyo,
00:47Cherky, Doku and Foden in closed spaces with fluidity between them
00:52to help you create chances rather than making the pitch very congested?
00:57Do you want to be my assistant coach?
00:59Bring me in, Pep.
01:02You are my biggest inspiration to get into football, I would say.
01:05You are tough.
01:07No, I doubt the quality of the players that we have.
01:09We have just one proper, proper winger right now with Antoine
01:12and I have to adapt the system to make comfortable the players.
01:17No, no more than that.
01:21In 70, 80 years old, like a manager, I change many, many things.
01:24The idea is quite similar in the terms of build-ups
01:27or high-pressing, I said many times,
01:28but if I don't have winger's, proper, proper winger's,
01:32I don't play with winger's.
01:33I have to play with the other one to make them feel comfortable.
01:35No more than that.
01:36Thank you.
01:36Obrigado.
