00:11Hi Orif, if you have a question raise your hand, well I think we've got mics in the room.
00:14We'll kick off with Nick from Haters.
00:17Hello.
00:18A very disappointing result but a very strong performance from your team compared to some others.
00:23How does that make you feel?
00:24Very upset with the results, obviously.
00:28We came here to win the game.
00:30I think the message was clear from three days before.
00:34We prepared to do that to take the game to the areas that we believe we could win it.
00:38We certainly done that even though we started the game with a goal down and psychologically we had to play
00:44with that.
00:45We've done it.
00:46So we proved that we are there but the reality is in the two boxes today was a difference and
00:52that's why we decided the game.
00:53That's what you think was the difference between the two sides, the finishing and the boxes.
00:57Yes, the stats have been different for the profile of players that we have available as well in certain areas.
01:04But the difference was 100%.
01:07James, CBS.
01:08Hi, Mikel.
01:09Five wins from five and it remains as in your hands as it is City's.
01:14When you see a performance like this, do you believe your team can go and win out in the remainder
01:18of the season?
01:18I believe today.
01:19I believe on Wednesday a week ago because I see them every day and I know the level that we
01:23have.
01:25But today if they need to be more convinced, I think they are now more convinced.
01:29They were talking about it in the dressing room.
01:31It's a new league now.
01:32They were a game in hand.
01:33We have three points of advantage and five games to play.
01:37So everything is still to play for.
01:39So we know how much we want it and we're not going to stop and we're going to go again.
01:44That's for sure.
01:46The result creates this strange scenario where goal difference is really key.
01:51So in the future games coming up, it's not just about winning but winning well in games.
01:56Yes, let's see what happens.
01:57This is the Premier League.
01:58First of all, to win a game in this league is extremely tough.
02:01And when you look at the fixtures that we both have, it's going to be tough for both of them.
02:05If not, we would have already 80 points or 85 points like happened in other seasons.
02:11This is not the case.
02:12So, yes, we will prepare game by game and learn from what happened today and be better.
02:19What can you do in the attacking box to make the difference?
02:22How can you make your players more ruthless when those chances come?
02:24That's very difficult.
02:25I mean, the margins are...
02:26I mean, we hit the post and I just look at the image.
02:30It's incredible how the ball doesn't go in.
02:31So there is an element of love.
02:33There is an element there of timing, of execution.
02:36There's a lot of things that have to be your way.
02:39They didn't go our way.
02:40And we have to recognise that at the end, winning and not winning is going to come down to this
02:47moment.
02:47And there are certain individual moments that you need in order to achieve what we want.
02:51That's for sure.
02:53Michael, you mentioned something about the profile of the players in both boxes.
02:59Are you talking about Haaland and Turkey or is it something...
03:04No, in general in the team.
03:05I mean, every team has an identity because of the players and the managers that they have.
03:10And especially when you play against this opponent, you have to be very clear what you have to do
03:14and where you want to play the game.
03:15And I think that we've done that really, really well.
03:23Hi, Michael.
03:24Can you just tell us what the mood in the dressing room is like
03:26and what sort of reaction you expect to see next week?
03:29Obviously, they were very disappointed not to get a result from the game
03:33in the manner that it happened.
03:35That's the feeling immediately you could sense that what they were talking about.
03:39And they said, OK, we lost an opportunity today.
03:41But we have the biggest one now in the next five games.
03:44So, let's do it.
03:45Finally, Phil from PA.
03:46Hi, Michael.
03:47Just sort of following on from that, I suppose.
03:49Will it be a challenge to pick the players up, do you think?
03:51No.
03:52I mean, if I have to pick the players to win the Premier League with five games to go in
03:56our hands
03:56and be in the semi-final of the Champions League, I think I should be at home.
04:00So, it's not the case.
04:01It's not needed.
04:01It has never been needed even in difficult moments.
04:04So, we'll go again.
04:05That's for sure.
04:06Thanks, everyone.
04:07Good night.
