00:00Yeah, it felt like a very, very hard fall, incredibly valuable win for tonight.
00:04Yeah, it's a huge win.
00:07We knew how tough it was going to be.
00:08We're coming back from very difficult games with a lot of intensity,
00:13with players really going through the line in every game with difficulties,
00:18not able to train and to come here and get the result that we got.
00:22I think it's remarkable.
00:24Did you hear the fans singing?
00:26Unbelievable.
00:26You must have learned that and also what they were singing at the final whistle.
00:29What did that mean?
00:30From the first minute, I just mentioned it.
00:32I think the energy that they brought, the passion, the positivity to the team.
00:36It was amazing.
00:37Many moments we thought that we were playing very close with them
00:41and that's very helpful.
00:43Just before the next question, just a reminder,
00:44we're going to do a few questions for the FA Cup after.
00:46So we'll next go to James from CBS.
00:48I'm Michael, Fabian was with us before, not very happy with the way your team played.
00:53He said that you make your own rules.
00:55He specifically mentioned the three occasions David Raya went down injured.
00:59I mean, what is your reaction to what he said?
01:01And specifically, David...
01:04What a surprise.
01:07Would you like to expand on that?
01:08No.
01:09I mean, you just go back for the previous games
01:12and you will find a lot of comments like this always.
01:15Do you feel like the...
01:16I love my players.
01:18That's the highlight.
01:20I love my players, we love our players
01:22and I love the way we compete.
01:24Do you feel like there's a lot of anger in your players from externally?
01:28I think they love our players.
01:30I mean, every time they talk about our players,
01:32I think they are the most loved ones in the country.
01:35Athletic.
01:36Hi, Michael.
01:37Just talking about the atmosphere in the ground.
01:41Obviously, a lot of boost towards your team throughout the game.
01:44When that's going on, do you and the players kind of enjoy that side of it?
01:49Well, we need to.
01:50Obviously, when you are in the position that we are in,
01:52obviously, they want to take that away from you.
01:55That's normal, that's a sport.
01:56But we need to take that with normality
02:00and we need to confront it in the right way.
02:02One here.
02:04Hi, Michael.
02:05You mentioned about players not training
02:07and the time between games is obviously very, very short.
02:11Last week was obviously the first week off in a long time.
02:13Are there any specific players that haven't had a lot of time to train?
02:18Obviously, Haberts is coming back.
02:20It seems that a lot of your players are very, very tired towards the end of games.
02:25Is it just the schedule?
02:26It is the league.
02:28When you look at the amount of minutes that players have played in comparison to last season,
02:32they are already much higher than last season.
02:35That's the schedule.
02:36That's the normality that we have now in the competition that we are in.
02:40We have to accept it.
02:41But the level of energy and desire that they put in, it's phenomenal.
02:45Tom?
02:46The fact that the players can train affected the approach.
02:4960 long balls is the most of any game that you've had this season in the Premier League.
02:54Was that attempt to try and get the ball further up the field in a way to rest almost between
02:58phases?
02:59No, I think that was down to especially what happens early in the game as well,
03:03and the lack of composure that we have in certain moments.
03:07Probably our heart rate is a little bit too high in certain moments
03:10because we are trying to recover as well.
03:13So obviously that's not the intention, but the players at the end have to make the decision
03:17if they believe that throughout certain moments they have to do that, they have to do it.
03:22So ideally you'd want that number to be a lot lower?
03:25Yeah, yeah.
03:26Sam, telegraph.
03:28Do you care on the manager stage?
03:31Care?
03:32Depends.
03:33On the manager?
03:35Yeah, on the comment.
03:38Nick at the back from haters.
03:39Hi, Mikel.
03:40And the purpose of that.
03:42Nick at the back there.
03:43Hi, Mikel.
03:44Yeah.
03:45I'd love to talk more about that, but for Kyle Saka, 300 appearances and the wing goal,
03:49what would you serve on that?
03:50Unbelievable.
03:51Unbelievable numbers at his age to produce the amount of games.
03:55To do it in the manner that he's done it,
03:58and the stats that he's got related to those games is just incredible.
04:02So a big night for him.
04:04Okay, finally on tonight we'll do SM from the Daily Man.
04:06Hi, Mikel.
04:07Another thing that above me said was,
04:08there's only one team here that tries to play football today.
04:10Is that on fire?
04:11Because at the end of the day it's about getting three points.
04:13Next question.
04:14Michael.
04:15When did you find out the City result?
04:17Sorry?
04:17Sorry.
04:18No, you have another question, eh?
04:19If you want.
04:20No.
04:21Okay.
04:24When did you find out the City result?
04:26When I was walking to our supporters,
04:28because I saw a reaction and I said, what happened?
04:31Because it was something a little bit strange.
04:33So, yeah, I didn't know.
04:36So obviously you don't care about that during the game, do you?
04:38I mean, during the game we have enough,
04:40when I were played to be focused on somebody,
04:44if he's at home or the reaction there,
04:47somebody you can notice something, but I didn't.
04:50Okay.
04:50We'll do a few for Friday.
04:51.
