00:00and his fight, if you like, with Byrne.
00:04But also, I'm told that you picked him up for special praise in the dressing room afterwards
00:09as an inspiration because of the work he had done all over the pitch, not just up front.
00:15Is that correct?
00:17I prefer to defend, but you know, when there's a long ball, St. Erling Stryker,
00:21I have to go central defender, Byrne and Joel Ellington at the end,
00:24and all the pitching behind and the people, so we have to help us.
00:28So, listen, I'm not a big fan to put Erling to defend, but help us.
00:32And I know after that how the people hug him and celebrate him
00:36and say the gratitude to help us because Newcastle allowed us to do that.
00:41And only I have it sad for him because there are a lot of actions
00:44that could make the last pass to him and didn't find him.
00:47You know, and it's difficult for him to run, run, run, and fight.
00:50They don't give the balls to, you know, to score the goals.
00:52But sometimes the game is like that, and he's an incredibly generous player.
00:56Yeah, so today is a performance.
00:59I never forget what Erling has done for us.
01:02Mike?
01:04Mike, thank you.
01:09Nico has this incredible winning record.
01:12He rarely loses when he starts.
01:14He doesn't lose Nico O'Reilly.
01:17Oh, yeah?
01:17Do you ever think of those kind of statistics?
01:22No, I don't see it.
01:26If I play because it happens for the position happens,
01:29not because I'm saying otherwise I will not work, right?
01:32So why you have to run?
01:34If Nico plays, we're going to win.
01:35Why you have to see Newcastle?
01:37No?
01:38So I don't believe in these kind of things.
01:40I believe in the effort and do it and training good
01:43and recover good and do all this kind of stuff.
01:47With Donnarumma, do you think those saves,
01:50do you almost kind of expect him to make those saves
01:52because of how good he is at Anfield and the one here?
01:59I mean, do you think that could be a big difference
02:02in the title races?
02:04Always we had incredible keeper with Edelson,
02:06James Trafford, and Stephen Ortega.
02:09They give us one Premier League saving the song in sports.
02:12Always we had incredible top keepers.
02:14Look, look, James, the games I play in FA Cup,
02:16the Carabao Cup with Newcastle, how save us.
02:20Yeah, but GGO is no special player.
02:22It's big and yeah, it's really, really good.
02:25Last one with Richard.
02:26Hi, Pep.
02:27You talked about Erling's work for the team,
02:29but in terms of the cross he put in for Niko,
02:33the way you're playing now with two up front,
02:35does that mean Erling has to do more crossing?
02:38No.
02:40Football, they have been a final third,
02:41they play, but I want that someone cross to him.
02:44It's what I want.
02:45I don't like much, but it was incredible movement,
02:49you know, four players in the park.
02:52So yeah, it was incredible.
02:57One colleague of you told me in the flash interview
02:59that I made a lot of assists already this season,
03:01so the numbers are unbelievable,
03:03and they were great and many things.
03:06So I'm really pleased.
03:07Sometimes I'm critic to him,
03:10but today I said,
03:11guy, without you, it would not be possible.
03:14So Erling has been outstanding today.
03:16Outstanding.
03:18Thank you, everyone.
03:19Thank you, guys.
03:19Thank you, guys.
