Transcript
00:00Nice, some fresh air, some good things for the confidence of the player,
00:08everyone around in the club and around special defence, good team spirit,
00:17seeing the circumstances, the team was today coming here to Anfield with 12 players,
00:25with what we already know, so this is something big, something big, we stay in the game, we believe,
00:33I feel that we could score the goal, the players also feel, so, OK, it's nice.
00:41Sometimes when the team is on a bad one spiral, you need one moment that just kicks you back up
00:46again,
00:46can that chance of the goal be the moment?
00:49Yeah, yeah, we hope, you know, it's a long way to our goal, which is to stay in Premier League,
00:59still a lot of games to play, but today it was important to show what they showed today,
01:06independently of the result, as I said, when you are honest, when you are honest,
01:10you need to be honest, give everything, then the football will give you back.
01:15I thought that was my worst before the game and so it's happened today, it's happened today.
01:22As I said, it was not easy and now we need to see now what to do in these two
01:29games in front of us,
01:30to see who is able to play, who is not able to play, who is injured, who is not injured,
01:36so it's not easy,
01:38we continue to have the problems from that point of view, the numbers, but that's why this result is even
01:45more important.
01:47You've spoken about the team leading a small team mentality in recent weeks, do you think they showed that small
01:55team mentality?
01:55Yeah, yeah, today was that, you know, with the ball, as I said, simple things,
02:05I'm in possession of the ball, simple things, second ball is fight,
02:10because it's like a moment like that deserved to do simple things,
02:14so starting for a good team spirit, good defence and fight, they show this and it's a good start, let's
02:21say.
02:22It seems to be a little bit of a change of system today, I know you've spoken about the system
02:26doesn't really mean so much,
02:28it's what they do in practice, but it seems to be kind of a four in the back with Sosa
02:32on the right and have been attacked with it.
02:34Yeah, yeah, yeah, no, we prepared in one training with Conor in the middle and then other solutions,
02:39but we need to change today, so it was a team putting without training, let's say two, three position was
02:49changed,
02:50because Tottenham happened like this, you know, he prepared two trainings,
02:54then in the morning you put the team, you didn't prepare because someone is out,
03:00so that's, again, to repeat is even more value of this victory to guys, congratulations to the guys,
03:09they were happy there also, you know, and then team spirit, that was the key of this point.
03:17Igor, there's been obviously a lot of questions about your management since you've been here,
03:23does this game show that the players are fighting for you and listening to what you're saying?
03:31When you make analysis of any kind of coach, you need to see what were the games,
03:37what were the games, so when I watched last two games and I'm here, it was four games, let's see,
03:43first two, two games and then other two games, when you watch the games, I think there is nothing to
03:50comment from the football point of view, when I watched our two games and I need to have comment
03:57of the coach, I cannot tell nothing, so there is nothing to comment when you get red card, you have
04:021-0 and what happened last game, so all those who are speaking and comment, what you can say,
04:09if you are honest with you, make analysis of the coach, think after these two games, what I can tell,
04:14there is nothing to comment, there is nothing about football, there is nothing about, it's not football,
04:18you know, so job is of course, we know how is it, I am coaching 15 years, never was thinking
04:29one second
04:30about my future, one second even, I never think about my future, my past, I always think about
04:36training tomorrow, how to help the players, no, no, don't read nothing, don't watch nothing,
04:42future is just imagination, future don't exist, it's a constant of today, tomorrow training,
04:47so you, I don't know, just losing energy about thinking what will happen, don't give you nothing,
04:53never, in this job, in football, in life, nothing, just focus on now, here, that's the key,
05:02for the players even, you can get away from the fever in this way, what is thinking, what will happen,
05:12bring you in a state of mind, which is not giving you nothing, so stay, stay now, be focused, what
05:18you can
05:18change, that's every coach is doing. Yeah, no, I like them very much in an Atlético game as well,
05:34in two middle, they have all things, good energy running, even quality, so what I said, I would like to
05:43to have this consistency with the players, with the team, you know, like other coaches,
05:49so today, seeing the bench of Liverpool, it's like, make you feel different, you know,
05:58so without having all, let's say, squad or complete in the time, you can work on a daily base,
06:10everything is, it's almost impossible, so the job is hard to do, sometimes maybe you don't,
06:18you cannot even imagine, because you are outside, how difficult is your job to do here,
06:25and in the end, what your colleague said, you know, there's always about results, so there are no results,
06:30you know, it's always like someone who is charged, it's not, it's not probably, it's not working good,
06:38it's not good enough, but, okay, good. Okay, thank you. Thank you.
