00:14Yeah, I think in the first half, the first 30-35 minutes we played well, we didn't create
00:25big chances to score, but anyway we had the control of the game, total control of the game.
00:34And then, I don't know the pressure, maybe we didn't win any game in this season, this
00:482000, 2026, maybe this pressure, maybe because we played against Wolverhampton, relegated,
00:59and we lost distances, we lost order on the pitch, every one of us wanted to go one-to-one,
01:10but anyway, I'm happy for the result, I hope this result can change something in our head,
01:19in our mentality, and for the other results, we can't, it's already very tough to win a game
01:33for us, if we put our head on the other teams, it becomes too tough for me.
01:40Can you ask about Xavi and Solanke?
01:43Yeah, Xavi and Solanke, Solanke is a muscular injury, I don't know what level of injury,
01:50and for Xavi is a problem of me, we go to see in the next days, Monday or Tuesday,
02:01for Solanke is not a big problem, I don't know how many games we lose him, but I would like
02:12to know the real situation of Xavi, because the knee is always different than the muscular injury.
02:26Yeah, he felt pain, but now I spoke with him two minutes ago, he felt, he feels better than
02:36than at the beginning of injury.
02:47Yeah, he deserved this day, because he played very well today, especially today, he was crucial for the result,
03:01he deserved everything, because he's a good guy, he's a good goalkeeper, and especially after Madrid,
03:09he deserved one day like today.
03:22Yes, I hope so, but I would like, I wouldn't like to lose any other players, because Romero, Kudus,
03:38now Solanke, and maybe Xavi, we can win the games with the players, not with the coaches.
03:48The coaches are important, but the players are more important.
03:55But, I want to be positive, Matistel played 45 minutes very well.
04:02In the first half, at the beginning of the first half, also Colomani started very well the game,
04:11and then he lost, I don't know, confidence.
04:15You have to go every day for lunch with Colomani this week, every day, breakfast, lunch and dinner.
04:24Because he's a top player, has a potential, and I want, he played better, he feels better on the pitch,
04:38he tries to go in one-to-one, to shoot something more, with more energy, because he can do, he
04:50can do that.
04:50Did you say you went to Colomani last week, or you need to?
04:53No, no, me and Colomani, just two.
04:57You need to go.
04:58Have you problem if I go to dinner? No.
05:03Goodbye.
05:13I think the players, they know what they are and what they can do on the pitch, especially this season.
05:26Because it's true, we didn't win a game in 2026, but on the table in Champions League, they finish at
05:34fifth place, no?
05:37And Champions League, I think, is not so easy, or is easier than Premier League.
05:43So they have to be positive, they have to feel full confidence, because they are good.
05:57We have not to see the other results, for example, West Ham, and we have to move on to prepare
06:08the next games.
06:12Now, the first game is Villa Park.
06:17Stop.
06:18Just it.
06:22Can I just ask you about that moment at full time, where it looked like you were fist pumping in
06:27front of the fans?
06:30Yes, because I believe to stay up.
06:36If I stay here, it's because I'm positive.
06:42Now, because I'm a coach of Tottenham, I have to...
06:46Tottenham is not important on the pitch.
06:49If you are Tottenham or another team.
06:53The most important are the qualities of the players and the level, the human level of the players.
07:00It was a surprise for me, because I didn't know them.
07:04And when I knew better my players, I understood, you know, there was the...
07:12We have the possibility, the chance to stay up.
07:15We have two points, not ten points.
07:18We have two points from West Ham.
07:21West Ham is...
07:22They are a good team, but also Tottenham are very, very good players and a very good team.
07:30Sorry, can I just check what surprised you about the players?
07:33Yes, because when I watch the game, or if you watch the game from the stand or TV,
07:41you can't understand if they are...
07:45They have the right spirit.
07:47They have the right attitude.
07:49And I work with them every day.
07:53And all players are professional, good guys.
07:59They are suffering for this situation.
08:02Just to give them confidence and order on the pitch, because I didn't like the second half at all.
08:11We could play better.
08:12We have to play better, better, much better than the second half.
08:17We have to play like the first 30 minutes.
08:23Maybe creating more chance to score and more shoots on goal.
08:45We can play with Matistel on the left, Colomoni on the right, Souza on the right, Bergval on the left.
08:52We have to create.
08:54I don't want to change too much.
08:57Three defenders, four defenders.
08:59I don't want to put more confusion on the players.
09:03Especially this season, because they changed a lot of tactical disposition.
09:08I want to be clear and simple.
09:14But for your question, we need to stay strong on the head, positive in ourselves.
09:27They will have to repent.
09:28In other words, you want toSer över kilo balance ba Эlfarण.
09:30Did you say something?
09:31Take your word off to yourself?
