00:14I'm frustrated, frustrated inside, angry with football, but you know, it's time to keep
00:26the mentality to come back stronger and with confidence to face the future because, you
00:36know, in the first half we played in the way that we played in Istanbul, but we didn't
00:44score the goals, we didn't score the chance that we created.
00:47We created, I think, two good chances to score, but we didn't.
00:52But not conceding nothing to them, nothing, no, not conceding contra-attacks, not conceding
01:00spaces, doing very good pressure, the block compact, they play outside the block, not
01:10inside our block, with long balls, second balls.
01:13Because it means that, in my opinion, the first half was just missing the goals, just
01:21missing the goals.
01:22It was, in my opinion, a perfect first half against a big team, against a top team.
01:29Second half, of course, we played three days ago, again, in Istanbul.
01:37We didn't rest properly because, you know, four hours travelling.
01:42It's not easy to come here and play the first half, the second half in the same way.
01:50But, okay, in a low block, they play more with the ball, but outside the block, outside
01:57the block, playing, playing, playing, playing, but not creating, not conceding a big chance
02:05to score.
02:08And, in the end, in the end, we lost the game in a throw-in, a throw-in that, in
02:18a small detail,
02:20a small tactical detail.
02:23Because, if we want to control the far post, because the far post was the area, the zone,
02:32that they attacked with the biggest players, it means that we had to adjust our line to
02:40control the situation.
02:42And, you know.
02:44But, this is football.
02:47It's not possible, in a short time, to correct, to fix everything.
02:54And, they scored the goal.
02:55They scored the goal.
02:56For me, it was very, very unfair.
03:00But, this is football.
03:03We need to keep the good things for the next game.
03:07To rest, and to prepare everyone to be ready to help the team.
03:14Because, it's a lot of games in a row, and we need everyone to reach our targets.
03:22On that note, how much positives can you take from Istanbul?
03:27A lot of things.
03:27Are you supposed to lift the players more than anything after conceding such a win?
03:31No, it's very difficult.
03:33I'm very frustrated today.
03:35And, it's very difficult to go inside the dressing room.
03:40What I can say to them.
03:42They try everything to win the game.
03:44Even after we conceded the first goal, we had the chance to score firstly.
03:51Because, we had the chance, the shot outside, because we want to win the game.
03:58We want to win the game.
04:01And, in the end, it was not one point.
04:05It was zero.
04:06This is difficult.
04:08But, you know, this is football.
04:10Football is not.
04:11We don't have time to complain about the end.
04:16About this game, we need to put our focus in the next game.
04:23Did you have any issue with how late the goal was scored?
04:26Or was that just one of those things?
04:28How late?
04:29Yeah, in terms of the added time.
04:31I don't know.
04:32I don't know.
04:33Even I have some doubts.
04:35I have some doubts because I think my opinion.
04:38This is my opinion.
04:39I accept the decision.
04:40But, in my opinion, Kitike was in the same zone of the adding.
04:48An offside.
04:49In a situation that the game gave us the offside.
04:55But, it was not a decision.
04:57And, I must accept.
04:59You said yourself the only thing you really missed today was goals.
05:03That has been a problem for all of your previous answers this season.
05:08How do you solve that?
05:09What we are creating.
05:12We are finishing.
05:13In the first half, we crossed the box with a lot of balls.
05:18We tried to shoot a lot of times.
05:21We tried to create situations one against one.
05:25We got a lot of corners.
05:32And, the most important thing was every time we were ready to react.
05:37Every time we were ready to stop the counter-attack.
05:39Every time in high position to not allow chance to them.
05:45We played very good football with the ball.
05:48Switching play to the other side.
05:50Creating problems in counter-attack.
05:52Creating problems in the organized attack.
05:58It means that, you know, the second half was not the same.
06:03Because, of course, it's impossible to have the same energy.
06:06To keep with our pressure.
06:09With our organization.
06:11To keep the block a little bit more higher.
06:15But, in the end, it's difficult to explain.
06:21It's difficult to explain.
06:24Is there any chance that Chris Wood will be able to play again this season?
06:30I think, I hope so.
06:31I hope so.
06:32I think he's recovering.
06:36I hope so.
06:37Because it's important for us.
06:39Because it's a huge difference, isn't it?
06:42Igor Jesus has done well in certain areas.
06:44But you have a guy who scored 20 goals last year.
06:47To take that out of any team.
06:49Is that difficult for anybody to make from that guy?
06:52Yes.
06:52But, you know, different skills.
06:55Very difficult skills.
06:56And, in my opinion, Igor played a fantastic game in Istanbul.
07:01And, of course, today was difficult for him.
07:05Because he faces two centre-backs.
07:08Difficult centre-backs to face.
07:10But, he's a different player.
07:13Different skills.
07:14He has qualities.
07:16In my opinion, he's a very good player.
07:18He's a very good player.
07:22And, he will score goals, for sure.
07:36Of course.
07:38Of course.
07:38Very confident.
07:39Very confident.
07:40I'm frustrated, but very confident.
07:43Because, if we keep this mentality, if we keep this ambition,
07:46And, the organisation will get points, for sure.
07:51Okay?
07:53Any final questions?
07:54Or, we'll leave it there.
07:56Thank you, Igor.
07:57Okay, guys.
