00:02Good evening, everyone. Hope you're well.
00:04We'll take a share of hands for questions, please,
00:05and we'll set an embargo towards the end for 10.30pm on Sunday evening.
00:09We'll start with Mike. Thank you.
00:10Before we start, let me see one word,
00:12because what's playing here, I want to say my first words,
00:14on Bohatman City to James Miller,
00:16that today make an incredible milestone
00:18to make the player with more players in the Premier League.
00:22Barry's there, but it's incredible, so heads off.
00:26This is consistency, this is love for the game.
00:28So I know he will become a incredible top goals player,
00:32but what he has done is unbelievable.
00:36So on behalf of Manchester City, you play here,
00:38you know, James, congratulations, you deserve it.
00:41And the second, I don't know the guy who makes a draw
00:44if he's a cup against Newcastle,
00:46but come back again to Newcastle in three weeks, what an aimer.
00:51Honestly, the guy could be nicer to us.
00:57Was that kind of one of the reasons for your celebrations
01:01at the final whistle?
01:02No, it was the vibe.
01:04The celebration is the result was better,
01:06I don't know how tough it is,
01:07but the vibe, the connections with our fans today
01:10was the best of the season.
01:11We have five games left.
01:13We need a part of the, of course, hopefully,
01:18Champions League,
01:19but five games left in the Premier League,
01:21so we need that vibe because...
01:24So the game that today we played
01:26is what was going to happen then as 11.
01:28So with the battles, it'll be so difficult.
01:30Every team today, I saw the game
01:32in the training centre
01:34that Aston Villa leads,
01:37and oh my God,
01:38so every game will be like that.
01:40Does it feel different though
01:42that it's in your hands,
01:43feel different?
01:46No, I don't have that thought.
01:47Never had before, never have now.
01:49So now we have again three days off
01:52and we prepare the next one,
01:54Leeds, and one step at that.
01:57I think Newcastle feel the same
01:59about the FA Cup draw as you do.
02:01I think they feel the exact same.
02:03Yeah, but we have to travel.
02:05If they want to come,
02:06we invite them to play here.
02:07If they want.
02:08No, listen, we lost the first game
02:12and we won three in a row then,
02:14so it's an unbelievable team.
02:16I saw the game in Champions League,
02:175-0, 0-5 and a half times.
02:19So the pace they have up front
02:21with the goal of Nelanga,
02:23with the long balls of ultimate,
02:24the dwelling told what happened,
02:25the pace in the middle,
02:26so the physicality,
02:27the quality they play trippy a whole.
02:30So it's an incredible complete team.
02:33So it's so, so, so tough.
02:35They put that ball to set pieces
02:36and every department is really, really.
02:38So today is a man marking, aggressive.
02:40They win duels.
02:42But we were there.
02:44So we learned today.
02:45We talk about a lot this last period.
02:48So we learned today that is the rhythm,
02:50the level of the football,
02:51modern football today.
02:52That's why the Premier League,
02:53all the teams are in Champions League.
02:54the rhythm they play
02:55and they behave is massive.
02:59And yeah, that's really pleased
03:01for the victory today.
03:03Jamie?
03:04Just two quick questions, please.
03:06Was Ruben Diaz taken off
03:08for a tactical reason?
03:09Yeah.
03:10And second of all,
03:11you said I think on TV
03:12that 70%, 7-0% of your players
03:14have not lived a title running before.
03:16So how confident are you
03:18that can handle it?
03:18No, I don't know 70%.
03:20I imagine because I know now
03:22that there are a lot of new,
03:23new players like the players
03:26that will live
03:26and that's why they have to live it.
03:28But I thought today,
03:29so forget about it, Dad.
03:31Forget about it.
03:31How do we have to improve
03:32since a Stockport game
03:34to be, it's not enough,
03:36but we have done it many,
03:37many games in this season
03:38to compete to win the Premier League
03:40or be there.
03:40It's a question to,
03:41we plead today
03:42to prove ourselves
03:43to win the three points
03:44but make us feel that
03:45we have to do better
03:47to at the end
03:47have the chance to do it
03:49because otherwise
03:51it would be difficult.
03:52Today we make a proper
03:54Champions League game,
03:55a proper Premier League game
03:56against the top, top teams
03:57in terms of
03:58suffer and play
03:59and just miss
04:01the last pass,
04:02the last action.
04:02We have a lot of actions
04:04at the end
04:04that we could
04:05first have with better
04:06but the second
04:07have a lot of actions
04:08to run and do it
04:09that we miss it
04:09and that's why
04:10we could not score more goals.
04:12But, you know,
04:13every time they have the ball
04:14the pace they do
04:15is so difficult.
04:16So you're confident
04:17those new players
04:18who have not won a title
04:19here under you
04:20have the mental courage
04:23to handle this
04:23next 11 games?
04:25I said to them,
04:26guys,
04:26what do you have to do
04:27with the mental courage?
04:28Do you know?
04:28Take a lot of
04:29Caipirinhas,
04:30Daikiris
04:30in these three days.
04:33Enjoy life
04:34and after that
04:35make a proper
04:36three training sessions
04:37and go to Leeds.
04:38That is a proper way
04:39that always we did it
04:41because you say,
04:42no, if you win here
04:43and now Arsena will do that
04:44or Stombila
04:45and now we're going to do it
04:46and after that
04:48slap in your face
04:49and what you thought
04:49is completely the opposite.
04:51So just go Leeds.
04:52I saw today
04:53and I have an incredible
04:55admiration and respect
04:56for Daniel
04:57and he's a friend of mine
04:59and I know
05:00how difficult it will be
05:01and that is what
05:01you have to do.
05:02Win the next game
05:03and if it doesn't work well,
05:05keep going.
05:06Keep going.
05:06Never give up
05:07and steal
05:07because 10 games,
05:0911 games of steal
05:10is a lot of games
05:11in the Premier League.
05:12A lot.
05:13A lot.
05:13Cool.
05:15What can you say
05:15about Nico O'Reilly's development?
05:17He's only 20.
05:18He's played fullback
05:20for you
05:20different positions this season
05:22than to come up with two goals.
05:23Yeah, play fullback there,
05:24play in a holding midfielder.
05:26Sometimes when Roy was not there,
05:28can play now
05:29in his position.
05:30His position,
05:31I know the pace they have,
05:32the sense of the second world
05:33that is finally unbelievable.
05:36So, yeah.
05:38What a player,
05:38I would say.
05:39He makes an incredible step up.
05:40Of course,
05:41I give a lot of minutes
05:42but he deserves it.
05:43The minutes he plays,
05:44he deserves it.
05:46Just wonder,
05:46Pat,
05:47will you watch the game tomorrow,
05:48the Arsenal-Tottenham game
05:49or are you going on holiday?
05:50I go holiday.
05:53What are they watching now?
05:54I don't know.
05:55I'm holiday,
05:55I don't know if I can watch it.
05:57I'm not be here,
05:57so I don't know.
06:00Jack?
06:03You mentioned
06:04the sort of
06:05connection with the supporters
06:06and the atmosphere
06:06tonight.
06:07Did you get a feeling
06:08as you were coming
06:09into the ground
06:11today
06:12that it felt
06:13a little bit different?
06:14Because it felt
06:15from the very start.
06:19Listen,
06:20I have,
06:21when I always say
06:22the players,
06:22we have to play for them.
06:23I have the incredible
06:24respect for them
06:24but sometimes
06:25they cannot come
06:26for the prize,
06:27for many reasons
06:28because we play
06:29in midweek,
06:30for example,
06:31at eight
06:31and the day after,
06:33you know,
06:33the kids have to be
06:34at school,
06:35the father and mother
06:36have to go to work
06:38and today,
06:39tomorrow's off,
06:40tomorrow's Sunday,
06:41so it's perfect.
06:41It looked the opponent,
06:43so we need that.
06:44I encourage you to come.
06:45We try to do our best.
06:47We weren't disappointed
06:48but they have the team
06:49since I arrived here
06:50ten years ago,
06:51they have soul,
06:52they have the spirit.
06:53The only season was
06:55during two,
06:55three months last season
06:56where they didn't have it
06:57but that guy's tried
06:58to do it,
06:59everything.
07:00And,
07:01and,
07:01and yeah,
07:02so there are games
07:03I would like,
07:03but today in the world of football,
07:04the way the opponents play here,
07:05man-marking,
07:06man-marking,
07:07this type of game,
07:07you have to
07:09outplay this type of game,
07:10otherwise,
07:11today is impossible.
07:12It's impossible.
07:14Obviously,
07:14there's been quite a lot
07:15spoken in the last couple of days
07:16about players
07:17that have not lived
07:18title races
07:19within your squad.
07:21Do you think the fact
07:22that they haven't gone
07:23through those experiences
07:24actually can,
07:25can be a benefit
07:26because it's all new
07:27and it's all exciting?
07:29Listen,
07:30when I was in a,
07:31in a sports redraw
07:322-2,
07:32one colleague of you
07:33told me,
07:34why don't get rid of
07:35the Premier League
07:35and focus in the Cups?
07:38That was the question,
07:39right?
07:39You were there,
07:39right?
07:40So I said,
07:41no,
07:41why?
07:42Let's go,
07:43let's try it.
07:44Today looks like,
07:45I don't know
07:45what happened tomorrow.
07:46Of course,
07:47now we take
07:48two more points
07:49for Stambilla,
07:49two more points
07:50for Chelsea
07:50for qualification
07:51for the Champions League.
07:52Today we are closer
07:53for the top of the league
07:54for the sixth
07:55of that.
07:55That is an incredible
07:56good sign,
07:57but many things,
07:58I promise you,
07:59I'll be honest with you,
07:59many things are going to happen.
08:00I had the feeling
08:01we are not going to win
08:02all the games.
08:03I don't know Arsenal,
08:03but I had the feeling
08:04we are not going to win
08:05all the games.
08:06This is my feeling
08:06because come
08:08FA Cup,
08:09come Champions League,
08:10travels,
08:11and you know,
08:12the final,
08:13of course,
08:14Carago Cup is different
08:15because after the
08:16Carago Cup final
08:17is an international break,
08:18but many,
08:19many games,
08:20injuries are going to come
08:21and many things
08:22are going to happen.
08:23The best way
08:24is relax now
08:25and focus on leads.
08:27And we see.
08:28At the end,
08:28it depends on our level,
08:29how we play,
08:30how we play,
08:31how we play,
08:31it's better and better,
08:32better.
08:32But today,
08:33there are things,
08:34many things,
08:34because I remember
08:35three shoots
08:36in the first half
08:37in a perfect position
08:37for Mamouche,
08:38Omar,
08:39that is the best one
08:40and could not do it.
08:41How many last pass
08:43happened,
08:43three,
08:43four in front,
08:44Ryan Nuri with Erling.
08:46And they created chances,
08:47yeah,
08:47rumors,
08:48you know,
08:48long balls,
08:49second balls,
08:49in this camp,
08:50balls,
08:50corners.
08:51Of course,
08:51the pace from Elangas
08:53and the other one,
08:53so always is,
08:54Gordon is difficult,
08:55but in general,
08:57you wait,
08:57the expecting goals,
08:58the possession we had,
08:59and many things.
09:00The impact from field,
09:01the last 10 minutes,
09:02the impact from Ryan Nuri,
09:03Ryan Cherky,
09:04when he came in,
09:05to have the ball,
09:06to connect with the guys.
09:07Erling Haaland today
09:08was the man of the match
09:09for me,
09:10the man of the match
09:10because five were born.
09:13Against Mamouche,
09:14you had to play more direct
09:15and if you don't win
09:16that ball
09:16or fight that ball
09:1750-50,
09:18no chance.
09:19And he did it
09:20and,
09:22yeah,
09:23so many,
09:24many would think
09:24it's a perfect game.
09:25No,
09:26it's an ideal game.
09:27No,
09:27but we were a team,
09:28a team like
09:29the way you have to do
09:30in these stages,
09:31in the Champions League games,
09:33in the Premier League games,
09:34a team like Newcastle.
09:36So,
09:36this is what you have to do.
09:37We're setting in Bogga
09:38there for 10.30pm
09:39Sunday evening.
09:40Ken?
09:42Evening, Pep.
09:43You just mentioned Erling
09:44and his fight,
09:47if you like,
09:48with Brian.
09:48But also,
09:49I'm told that you
09:50picked him up
09:51for special praise
09:52in the...
