00:00I know that next week will be 30 years since Kevin Keegan's face.
00:04I would love his speech.
00:06I don't know if you remember that moment and recollections you have at all of that?
00:11You know what, it feels like 30 years ago when I was answering questions
00:16before we played at Newcastle, saying,
00:20if we don't win tomorrow, the league is over.
00:22And it was October, yeah?
00:25Yeah?
00:26And it feels like 30 years ago.
00:27Until we are here, we can still do it.
00:31And we're still not satisfied with the position that we are in.
00:34So things change and turn so much.
00:38And we will certainly do our best to win it.
00:40I'll just ask you that in terms of how you think you will be in this period now,
00:44which is obviously so much going on, so much pressure.
00:46Will you be sort of happy to let your emotions flow like Kevin?
00:49Do you want to keep in the check?
00:50How do you think you'll be in this before?
00:51But it's not the pressure.
00:52I mean, for me it's an absolute privilege to be in this position.
00:55For me, pressure are different things in life.
00:58And we're going to prepare in the best possible way
01:00and create the right environment and context for the players
01:04to go and express themselves and give their best.
01:07And we are ready.
01:10We are ready.
01:10We are prepared.
01:11We want it so much.
01:12We have four games at home now,
01:15till the last end of the season.
01:17So all in, we go for it.
01:19And let's see what we get.
01:22Is there a swagger to the team when Bakaya walks out onto the pitch?
01:28Swagger?
01:29Yeah.
01:29Yeah.
01:30Yeah.
01:31Remember that man described in the Vincenors,
01:35he said when they walked out of the tunnel they would look across
01:38and they knew that they'd beaten the position just in the tunnel.
01:42And when you have people up Bakaya there who walk on the pitch
01:44and you see the opposition,
01:46do you think you kind of need that in this period,
01:49that kind of fear factor and the swagger?
01:51We certainly have in Bakaya one of the most influential players
01:56that we had in the last few years.
01:58And he's a player that when it comes to those moments,
02:01we're expecting to produce those moments to win it for us.
02:04And we need him in the squad.
02:06We have him now and hopefully we can use him in the right way.
02:09Can you talk about this?
02:12Is there someone who played in the Vincenors?
02:15No?
02:16Okay.
02:17Yes, sir.
02:18Hi, Michael.
02:19Going back to Sunday's game against Manchester City,
02:22obviously it wasn't the right result for you guys in the end.
02:24But in terms of performance and the way everything went up,
02:26I think you were quite surprised that you actually went out
02:29to grasp the game and actually win it in the end.
02:31What does that game just teach us all
02:33or even show you about what it's teaching?
02:35I'm surprised that somebody's surprised.
02:36We've always done it.
02:37That's always been us.
02:39Yeah?
02:40Eh?
02:40So good, not so good.
02:41Yeah, yeah.
02:42I have a very different opinion about that.
02:45Yeah.
02:45Going back to the question,
02:46in terms of the tap approach and the way you play,
02:48what does that control everyone in terms of this?
02:50But at the end everything has to go your way
02:52and those actions have to go your way
02:54and we hit the post twice and we have two big chances as well
02:57to score the game.
02:58Decisions have to go your way as well,
03:02which is very important when the margins are so small.
03:06So everything has to be perfect.
03:08And with the City game against Burnley,
03:10obviously the positions have changed.
03:12They're now top of you guys a second.
03:13Is there anything in that at all in terms of the Hunter vs. Hunter,
03:16Hunted vs. Hunter mentality in terms of you're now chasing that?
03:21No.
03:22And we're going to play tomorrow and then we're going to play again.
03:24So that will shift as well.
03:26So we've been talking about that.
03:28Psychological parts, I think the biggest one is that you perform,
03:31you win the match and then it's all fine.
03:35Michael, you said in training you didn't have to really do much
03:39to motivate the players this week because of what's happened
03:41and what's on the line.
03:43Do you sense when you look in their eyes,
03:45given what if everything's happened the last few weeks,
03:47you've lost the league and you look in your eyes
03:49and they still believe that you can do this?
03:50100 per cent.
03:52But that's it.
03:53It's not about talking, it's not about feeling it.
03:55It's tomorrow when you go over that line, get it done.
03:59And in this moment it's about getting it done.
04:01That's it.
04:02It's not too much talking about how to do.
04:04We will create and generate the right context towards that.
04:07At the end we have to do it on the pitch.
04:09And just on Heze, he played in a more advanced position,
04:12he started in a more advanced position,
04:14which you haven't done much with him.
04:16Is that something you think he could add a bit extra to your attack?
04:22Yeah, depending on the game.
04:23He's played a few games there.
04:25He had some very special moments at the weekend.
04:28He produced moments and connections that could have made a difference in the game.
04:35And we know that he has the ability to do that.
04:37Thank you very much, everyone.
04:38Yeah, thank you.
04:40Good work.
04:41Thank you very much.
04:48Thank you, boys.
04:49Thanks.
04:50Thanks, everyone.
04:51Thanks.
