00:00We were better than today in terms of it was most clear what I have to do.
00:06But this type of game, that was last season, the margins from Mina and maybe their penalties, right?
00:12Last season was a red card, Anderson, so when it's still gaps, the decisions always make an
00:18unbalance and now I'm sitting here, like how nice I am and otherwise we'll be Colin, have a respect.
00:25So I know perfectly which team we won, they make a good consistency season I would say Chelsea,
00:32but the patterns that they do with Colin especially, that I'm so glad he's back for
00:37English national team is a big boost. So how to break the lines, how they connect each other,
00:45Caicedo with James and after the pockets always are good occupied, so we don't play my marking,
00:50so they found. I knew it would be a tough half game, like I've been. The game started really good,
00:56I think we make a 30-35 minutes really, really good, arriving a final pass, the final decision was
01:00not good and after they, they were better in the second half, even we have the first chance clear
01:05with Antoine, they were better. The moment the game was for him, for them. They were more aggressive,
01:12they, they pushed us a lot of corners and this type of position. And after we found the goal with
01:16that
01:16game is that. So we found the goal and after we were better, of course they have a chance with
01:22the
01:22throwing, but after when they changed the 5-4, even they put more players there, we found better
01:28our wingers, our pockets and our transitions. That happened many times this season, the final pass,
01:34the final moment, we were not clever, we were not good enough, we could finish it. But yeah,
01:40really pleased. This trophy is really, really cool, really special for the tradition and after two
01:46defeats, so back to our, back to Manchester, it's nice.
01:51Hi Pep, congratulations. Before this week, Antoine had a bit of a run without goals, but that moment
01:57there, is that sort of why you buy a player like that? Because he has the capacity in those moments
02:05when you're struggling a bit in the game to just turn things around, has that sense of goal?
02:09Yeah, since the arrival, I did it with Bournemouth, I have a sense of goal. Antoine can play in,
02:14in the three positions, I think as a striker is really good. Look, the last game,
02:19incredible assist from Phil, the finishing, have a sense of goal. Yeah, the impact for both him and
02:24Marc in wintertime was, have been massive. So, yeah, a little bit swap, because normally he has to
02:31cross to Erling and Erling in that case cross to him, but have a sense of goal. Good
02:35finishing. So, yeah, a really good goal. Rob?
02:39Congratulations Pep, obviously you've got another big game to come very quickly on Tuesday.
02:42Are you allowing the players to have a party tonight, celebration?
02:45Home. Not even one beer. Next Monday after Erston Villa, we're going to celebrate it with the
02:51humans team. The club said to me that with some parade in Manchester, because it must be celebrated
02:58with both teams. But no, no, no, half time. So, have three days, Chelsea had seven days to prepare
03:04that final last three days. Yesterday, the travel was a nightmare. Spent six hours, literally six
03:10hours, from CFA to here. The trains, a little bit of a problem in this country. Six hours, but
03:19yeah, I think we behaved in some moments good. We were quite stable. But the same. When a final is
03:24in
03:24that end, the margins, the decisions can change absolutely, absolutely everything.
03:30Hi Pep, well done. Sir Alex Ferguson once said you never get full value with signs in January,
03:37but do Mark Gahy and Antoine show what you can get?
03:43Listen, you can spend, I don't know how much, much money. If it works, it's cheap. And you're going to
03:50spend
03:51less, less, less money and it's not working. It's not cheap. It's expensive. So always the tendency,
03:56all the clubs want to sign players. At the end was the opportunity, you know, so it was opportunity
04:03release clause from Antoine and last six months contract from Crystal Palace. We had a lot of
04:09problems for Minjas with Ruben and Josco and now we have everyone. We have been, we have been,
04:17for example, last season. It was a moment that in November, December, that we didn't win one game.
04:21We have in between combined 13 Ninjas. We have 13 Ninjas in November, December, January. In this
04:27country, we play every three days with 13 Ninjas. You cannot handle it. So when Ruben fit and Josco
04:32fit and everyone fit, maybe we don't go for Mark or Antoine. But in the situation, you have the
04:38opportunities sometimes happen and both have been really extraordinary. You've won, you've won many
04:45finals. But was that one of the best goals that you've seen scored in the year? It was a really
04:48good goal. Really good skills, really good technique, the crowds and the finishing. Really good.
04:55Obviously, John and Bernardo are going and maybe some others as well. How nice was it for them
05:02to finish with a trophy in this way? Absolutely. But not nothing. Of course, it's nicer. But
05:09if you have to judge his service, his tenor, his ten years here, today win or no win the trophy,
05:16Carabao win the trophy. It's not about that. Whatever will happen today or the last game,
05:22the final against Arsenal, they have been really, really no words. I've said many times to express
05:29the incredible gratitude for on and off the pitch, how they behave, represent this club in the best way
05:35as possible. Arrive in the last game and make the best tribute as possible with the chance to fight
05:40for the Premier League. And you've said already that the team have already proved that it's a good
05:45season regardless of the last few games. How much potential do you see in this group, this brand new
05:51team for next season? I took time to click something and miss something during the process. We make a lot
05:57of
05:57different shapes and pressing display with the other player. We had the feeling that the last two
06:03months I've fed something stability with the team that I didn't find maybe in the past. But it's normal
06:08because a lot of new players, injured players, and sometimes you need a little bit more time,
06:14but the highest competition, don't wait, right? But top eight in the Champions League, we found one of
06:20the toughest opponents. The Champions League is always a really, really, really difficult opponent,
06:24but the rest competitions we have behaved extraordinarily and the future is bright. So I know the guys,
06:30I know how they feel, you know, the commitment for the club and very professional.
06:36A little bit from today's match. I think you are the longest serving manager, not just in the
06:42Premier League, but in all four top divisions in England. How important is it for coaches these
06:48days to have that long-term stability? It seems in the industry, it's going the opposite direction,
06:54that more and more managers are losing their jobs ever more quickly. How important has it been for you
06:58to have had this time to build what you've done at Manchester City? It's the key. But listen, I'm
07:03the longest because we won a lot. I've said many times, but at the same time,
07:09when the people above me and the sports director, especially the chairman, myself and the players,
07:16were on the same page, the stability, you can make up and down. We had last season, but normally you
07:20are stable. When you have a lot of managers with many, many years, it's so difficult. You need time.
07:28In football, like everything in life, you need time sometimes to, you know, to adapt. And today,
07:32the people are so anxious to, I said many times, so this period, there are moments for season, last
07:38season, and moments during the season, it was not good. I didn't feel never, they blame me, you know,
07:44because we know each other. It's what we can do to improve, to get better, to get better. And in
07:48most
07:48of the clubs, when it's bad, it sucks, it sucks. Yeah, it can be better, but it can be worse.
07:55And one of the great successes in that, of course, I am every three days here talking in front of
08:02you,
08:03the players, but one of the biggest successes is the stability that above me. Without that,
08:09that you don't have this.
08:10this
