00:00What does this week's results say about the Premier League?
00:03We've often heard it spoken about as being the best league in the world,
00:07but a lot of the Premier League teams this week...
00:09It's quite an analogy with the question.
00:12It's not the first time I've been hard.
00:15You know, I lost many times in the Champions League, many, many times,
00:19and have been massacred in decisions and what happened.
00:25So it's not the first time, and I know, but at the same time,
00:27still I'm here in that position, and until the last day,
00:30I will take the positions like...
00:32And I can argue my decision was the team selection.
00:35I will not convince you because we lost.
00:37Because this argument is before, I couldn't understand it,
00:42but it's not about absolutely...
00:46What was the question?
00:47Sorry?
00:48What was the question?
00:49I just wondered whether there's a wider issue about the fact
00:51that not just yourselves have lost, but English teams in general...
00:55Oh, yeah, sorry.
00:56Yeah, it's the same what I said.
00:58So before, I think we were the best league in the world, right?
01:01We got to fight all the teams, all the teams in Europa League,
01:06who are the best, who are strong, how nice we are.
01:09And after what happened this weekend, or this midweek, after that,
01:14we are not... I'm pretty sure we are an incredible league.
01:16The Premier League organized an incredible Premier League,
01:18and the league is fantastic, but in these competitions for one game,
01:23or two games, everything can happen.
01:24And that means that even being good, in other leagues they are good too.
01:29So, now everybody doubts about Bottoglien, right?
01:32Norway?
01:33No one.
01:35Anyone, right?
01:35Now how top team win every game 3-0 against the sport in Lisboa,
01:40and the people say they play magnificent, win against us,
01:43win against Inter Milan, in Atletico Madrid.
01:46So, now everybody.
01:48So, competition is tough, and everyone, the sport is tough,
01:52everybody is well prepared.
01:53They are incredible respect for the other ones.
01:55But if you want to say that everything is a disaster,
01:57I have an opinion about the game of Madrid.
01:59Completely own opinion, and there's going to be change.
02:02So, I will need mistakes with my own decisions, own opinions,
02:06not ever what's happened, the results, or whatever.
02:08I have my opinion, and these are very, very good things.
02:10And the other ones who could be better, yeah, of course.
02:13And the motion was involved in the moment that we have,
02:17in the first half, especially the first 90-20 minutes
02:19before the first goal, was exceptional.
02:21I would say one of the best we have played there,
02:24in terms of we come here to make a threat,
02:28and we were threatening.
02:30But after that, the motions come, concede one goal,
02:32immediately the second, of course, belong to us,
02:37the quality of Alberti, of course,
02:38and some mistakes we have done, but it's involved.
02:41And after the motions are involved,
02:43and it's a completely, completely different game.
02:45But even the second half, we start really well,
02:48conceded a penalty that, I'm sorry, was not.
02:51And because Gio touched the ball,
02:54and another time the motion is again, again, it's been there.
02:56But we were there until the end.
02:58We have a true cut pass.
03:00We have the clear chances from Nico,
03:03with Corto Amic incredible save.
03:05So we were there, and that's why.
03:08So West Ham will help us to be in a good mood,
03:11to arrive on Tuesday and try it,
03:12and we'll see again what happens.
03:14And I'm notowa Telecom.
