00:04I think the whole team. I cannot be prouder and happier for what I've seen out there,
00:10but especially the way we lived the last 72 hours. I think this game in particular needed
00:16some context. After what happened against Wolves and the manner that we lost two points
00:21in the last kick of the game, it was tough. But that's the beauty of this game. There
00:27is no explanation, watching the game back, how the hell you draw that game. From any
00:31angle, you watch it back and say it's impossible. You have to watch it again and say it's not
00:35going to happen. But it happened. Then you have to lift yourself up because you're feeling
00:40angry, upset, ashamed at some point. We are all different nationalities, we all have different
00:47feelings and then you have to bring everybody together. It's been a joy to spend that time
00:51together with them to align everybody and to say, OK, what is going to be happening in
00:57the next chapter. This one is gone, how we use it to be a turning point and to make ourselves
01:02better. That was the focus, that was the intention. But I still have to do it on the pitch. I
01:08think
01:08what we've done from the beginning to the end of the match, it was outstanding.
01:27The way I could feel them after the game and the way I was feeling is much bigger, this
01:34is not a job. When you are disappointed about what you've done in your job, you don't feel
01:38that way. It's much bigger than that. That's our passion, it's the purpose that we have,
01:45the objective that we have, it's what we love doing and then it's very painful. But as well,
01:50it can be very rewarding. Today, football shows you that keep going, whatever you do, you win,
01:57keep going, you lose, keep going because it is worth it, especially with the people that
02:01we have in this club.
02:02Alex, BBC.
02:03Hi, Michael. Another big impact from Eberici Eze today. He scored around half his Premier
02:08League goals. What was the final bit of the season? Did you know that when you were signing
02:12him?
02:15We looked at every stat, but that one, to be very honest, no. I mean, he scored five goals
02:20in the last two games against them, which is extremely difficult to do. But I could see
02:26that he wanted to prove something. He was upset, even with me, because I didn't play in the
02:31other day from the beginning and some of the decisions that I made. And I started to understand
02:36how we're going to get the best out of him now.
02:40Yes.
02:42Do you feel, in a way, this is a sign of how your attackers, as a whole, can unblock themselves
02:47and unlock themselves? Have you been waiting for them?
02:53Yes, I mean, I think they have some very, very good moments. I mean, with the amount of goals
02:57and performances and wins that we have in every competition, they are showing that. But you
03:03have to show when it matters. And when it's really on the edge and people are doubting,
03:07that's when you have to stand up. And it's very difficult to do it. But today, I think individually,
03:12they had some huge performances and I'm very pleased to see that.
03:16I loved his attitude, his presence, how dominant he was in the game from the beginning,
03:35the first few actions immediately. He wants to grab the game and he really wants to say,
03:40I'm here. And that's what I love. He didn't score, but he was in every action. And as you said,
03:45I think he was really, really good.
03:49You mentioned the doubts and it seemed that Spurs wanted to weaponise that,
03:52but the PA announced before the game said they're worried, they're nervous as hell.
03:56It was quite an emotional moment for you at the end with the fans as well. So, tell me about
04:01how you're feeling.
04:03I am very, very proud and very happy. Not for today, but what happened in the last three days,
04:08because we said, OK, let's love the players when they need it the most. But as well,
04:14sometimes the coaches and the staff, we need some love as well. We need some people around them
04:20with positivity, drive and that they stand up next to you when we need them. And it's been really,
04:27really good to work with them in the last few days.
04:29James, CBS?
04:30I don't know if you've had an experience in your playing career like Everett has had,
04:34you know, over the last few months in these games against Spurs. I mean, what can you,
04:38have you spoken to him about what these moments have meant for him? Just as a boyhood Arsenal fan,
04:44it could be better than scoring a home hat-trick against Spurs.
04:46You just have to look at his face and the way he was in the dressing room with a big
04:51smile and
04:52his eyes are just expressing everything that you need to. He came here for a reason and
05:01we need those moments from these players and I think him and the front players today, I think
05:06they've done what we expect from them.
05:08James, ESPN?
05:10Hi, Michael. You've got a clear week now. Pep says he's letting the City players drink
05:16cocktails for three days. Are you going to do the same?
05:19Cocktails, I don't drink cocktails. So, no, we will do our own thing.
05:25Miguel from the Intervenant?
05:26Just on that, I mean, this is the first break for two months. I mean, what's the effect
05:30of that being on just constant football and how important was it to get that win
05:34before a break like that?
05:35Yeah. Well, really, really important because obviously the amount of games that we are
05:40playing every competition is just incredible and today gives you a chance to actually take
05:47a little breath, analyse what we're doing and go again until the international break.
05:53We're going to have a lot of games again.
05:55Okay, last two. Holly from the Mail.
05:58Hi, Michael.
05:58Hi.
05:59You mentioned the phrase turning point there just a couple of minutes ago.
06:03Does it feel like that today? After everything you've been through, you talked about the
06:07last few days, it was a huge result today, a lot of pressure on you and the players.
06:12Does it feel like a turning point?
06:14Well, it feels like we show what we are made of, but then you have to show it again and
06:19again and again because if you have to just analyse how you feel after every game, I mean, it's a
06:28massive roller coaster and it's not sustainable. So we've done great today. I think we are
06:33very proud of the manner that we won the game, not only the way that we perform and we know
06:43what it means to us. We go again.
06:45And finally, Gary Skye.
06:46Hi, Gary.
06:48Hello.
06:48Surprise me.
06:51Congratulations, Kel.
06:53What's that?
06:54The communications issues officials. What did you make of it?
07:05Yeah, I mean, every time we are out of the dressing room, we get huge fines. So I said to
07:09them,
07:10who's going to get this fine? Because that's six, seven, eight, nine minutes. So someone
07:14is going to get a big fine and I'm sure that everybody is going to look at the Sky probably
07:19to the Premier League, the Premier League to the Sky. So yeah, we've got one in the bag now.
07:26Thanks, everyone. Good night.
