00:00You spoke briefly about the potential in your squad, how far it can go,
00:03but how much work do you feel needs to be done by yourself, by Richard Hughes,
00:07in the summer to make it even more competitive?
00:10How big a chain of players do you think you're facing,
00:13taking into account the fact that you're already losing Mo and Andy Roberts?
00:17I think for the people who watch the Paris Saint-Germain game,
00:22it depends on which game you're watching,
00:25but if you're watching the home game,
00:26I think it's fair to say for me that the future does look bright
00:31and that we were able to have more ball possession than them,
00:35to generate 21 shots, to have a high XG against a team
00:40that is used to the fact that they dominate ball possession.
00:45Even if you take into account that Hugo had to go off after 30 minutes,
00:54something like that, Alex had to go off at half-time.
00:56So if you would see them playing over 90 minutes,
01:00being in their best shape, then this team is already shown,
01:04as they did in so many other moments,
01:07that they can compete with the best in Europe.
01:09So we've beaten here at home the other three other quarter-finalists,
01:14with Atletico, Real Madrid and Arsenal.
01:18So that tells you that this is already a very strong team,
01:22but it takes some changes because of what you just said
01:26with Robbo and Mo leaving.
01:30But yeah, as I said many times, the future looks bright for us.
01:34Are you thinking that you need four, five, six?
01:38I don't think in numbers.
01:40I don't think in numbers.
01:43Just in areas?
01:44In areas in which players we already know that are going to leave,
01:49and let's see what happens in the summer.
01:52You know, we are a trading club,
01:54so let's first see what's actually going to happen in the summer,
01:58and then we also know better what we need to bring in.
02:01You see everything around?
02:01What does the work we do to bring out is that the positive,
02:01so when you're seeing whatever everything comes up,
