00:00.
00:26Eli, of course, was in this session, as many people could see.
00:28But unfortunately, he felt something towards the end of the session.
00:33And it was, how do you say this?
00:37People looked at it and we decided that, and he decided together that it wasn't good enough to play.
00:44Tomorrow and then it was of no use of travelling.
00:55And I have a lot of respect for Galatasaray for their manager.
00:59He's been so successful here as a player.
01:02And now, as a manager, won so much with this club.
01:06Recently they played Besiktas, who were having one of my former players, Orkun Kaciu,
01:11who I know is a very good player as well.
01:13But they were able even to beat Besiktas with ten men.
01:16So that tells you a lot about how the team is fighting, if that is necessary.
01:21So they have quality players that can fight and they have great fans behind them.
01:25So, yeah, we need to be so, so, so good tomorrow to bring a result back to Anfield.
01:33And that's what we're going to try.
01:35Last time when we played them there was not a lot between us and them.
01:39We both got a penalty.
01:41Unfortunately ours was overturned by the VAR and theirs was given.
01:46And in open play I think we were quite similar.
01:51A 50-50 game that we lost because of that penalty.
01:58And two very good teams playing against each other tomorrow evening.
02:10No, first of all, it makes me really proud that I've become the Liverpool manager.
02:16That is going to be my 100th game.
02:18I don't think I have a bad track record in those 100 games.
02:23Although sometimes you get a different feeling about that if I have to listen to everything.
02:30But it makes me proud.
02:32And it's nice that the 100th game is such a nice game to play.
02:36Champions League last 16 away game against Kalatasaray.
02:41But as always it's never about the manager, it's always about the players.
02:44I try to prepare them just as good as all the other 99 games I've done before.
02:50But it's always the players who have to then perform.
02:55And I've been very lucky that I've been given a very good team in both seasons.
02:59Last season and this season.
03:00And I have all the trust that these players will perform at the levels we are used to of a
03:07Liverpool team.
03:17I think we do a lot of similar things that my final team did and that the team of last
03:22season did.
03:23We're having a lot of ball possession when we don't have it.
03:25We press immediately, counter-press immediately to have the ball back.
03:27But as I said, teams are organised more and more in a similar style,
03:34which is mainly either man-to-man all over the pitch or dropping into a low block.
03:39Not with 7 or 8, but with 11.
03:41That's something that, for example, but we should maybe not talk about it.
03:45But 10 years ago when the Dutch team played Luxembourg, it was 8 or 9-0.
03:50And these results were quite common.
03:53Now, that's not so common anymore that countries beat other countries with those margins.
03:59Let alone if you play the best players in the world because they're all playing in the Premier League.
04:03It makes it even harder if you face similar playing styles like that.
04:10So we are working on it.
04:11I think it's been obvious for everyone that we've worked on it because we scored much more from set pieces.
04:16One way to break down low blocks is generate a lot of set pieces,
04:21which we twice against Wolf, twice we had 11 set pieces, corner kicks, sorry.
04:27And then you need to get your rendement, your goals out of that.
04:31Let's go.
04:32Let's go.
04:33Let's go.
04:38Let's go.
