00:00What are your thoughts on the game?
00:04A crazy game, crazy game.
00:06This is maybe a good game for the supporters, but for the manager it was an open game.
00:14An open game, especially in the second half.
00:18We conceded a lot of counter-attacks and they are dangerous.
00:22But I understand my team.
00:25They want to score goals, at least to equalise the game.
00:34But in the end we conceded a lot of spaces.
00:37We started to lose our organisation, to lose our balance.
00:43They got chances to score.
00:46We had chances to score.
00:50And in the end it was a pity that the game was decided for a decision that I must accept.
01:02Because it's a decision of the referee, but it's not my opinion.
01:07For me his handball was very clear.
01:13But he decided not to cancel the goal.
01:17And for me it was the decision that decided the game.
01:24Victor, have you had a chance to speak to the referee about that decision?
01:27Yes, yes.
01:28Did he explain to you what his thought process was?
01:30I think he thinks that the control with the end was after the touch on the body.
01:43I think I must accept, but it's not my opinion because I watched the image.
01:53In my opinion he controlled the ball with the hands.
01:56And the goal comes from the control.
02:00If not, they will not have a chance to shoot and to score.
02:07But in the end this is the doubt that we have in this moment in the Premier League about the
02:15decisions.
02:16The handball, we don't know when is the handball or not.
02:20The blocks on the box, in the free kicks, we don't know when is the foul or not.
02:27I think it's important to have a meeting with everybody and try to understand the rules.
02:36Try to understand the rules, the decisions.
02:40Because I think everybody, all the managers in this moment, they have doubts about some decisions.
02:50Peter, could I ask about Elliot Anderson and Morgan Givouac?
02:53They were both excellent against them.
02:55What did you make of their performances?
02:58In an open game they are very dungeon players.
03:01Well, Elliot is, you know, we cannot give a lot of space to him because he can't decide a game
03:12in assisting or shooting or finding someone free.
03:20And Morgan came even with the problem because the mask is not easy to play with the mask.
03:29Of course he cannot add in the ball.
03:32But in the end he has a lot of quality and he scored a beautiful goal.
03:36He had a chance to score more goals today.
03:41And I'm very proud of my players.
03:46And we got the points before the last two games.
03:52Because if the game today was decided in this way and we need the points to be safe,
04:00it's a big problem, big problem, big problem.
04:04But, OK, in the end I understand the last two games are difficult, difficult.
04:13A lot of stress, a lot of pressure.
04:17But we are out of this fight.
04:24You spoke about the fact that this game isn't vital, but the fact that you conceded that second goal so
04:29soon after the equaliser and then you had the third goal but your team came back.
04:33How proud are you of that ability of your team to fight and keep going even though the game doesn't
04:38really matter at this stage?
04:39Of course, of course.
04:41I recognise that we didn't play in our best level.
04:46But we play again with our spirit, with our heart.
04:52When Nikola decided to go to play as a striker, it was not my decision.
04:59You understand?
05:00But this is a moment in the game that you cannot stop them.
05:05You cannot stop them because they want to score goals.
05:09Because we are losing 3-1 and they want to go there and score goals.
05:15In the end, 3-2, they have a chance to score more goals because in the last minutes I think
05:25we just played with Morato on the back.
05:29Open space in the left, open space in the right.
05:35Manchester United is a team that in counter-attack they are very dangerous because a lot of times they break
05:44the team.
05:45They stay with 3-4 players for counter-attack and the decision of Bruno Fernandes is with fast players, it's
05:56not easy.
05:58We lost our balance, but we showed again our character as a team.
06:06And I'm proud.
06:07I'm very proud of my players, very proud of our supporters because they help us a lot.
06:14Today it was not possible to get points.
06:17We'll see the next game.
06:19Vitor, when you were talking about Elliot Anderson just before you said open game,
06:25what do you think he's got to do to improve everybody he has improvement in?
06:30What do you think are the areas of his game that he's got to get better?
06:33You know, he has the talent to be one of the top, top of the top.
06:41But every time he can score more goals, especially he can score more goals.
06:47He can take a little bit more risk in the last third.
06:55I think he has, because he has a very good shot, he has, he has, he must, depends the system.
07:04You understand, depends the team.
07:05Because if he has, if we play in the system that we give him totally freedom to build the play
07:16and to appear,
07:18I think he can do everything, he can do everything.
07:21But you know, in our system we play with, we are playing with two midfielders.
07:25If you lose every time the position, when the other one lose the position, we don't have midfielders.
07:32You understand what I mean?
07:33It means that it's a system that don't give him total freedom to create.
07:44He needs to understand when the other one lose the position, he cannot, he cannot lose the position.
07:52He must, he must.
07:53But he has a lot of talent and for sure he's young.
07:58And for sure he will fly, flying with the big wings.
08:06You understand?
08:06I think every manager would want to keep Elliot Anderson in their team.
08:11But he's going to the World Cup, he's playing so well.
08:14Do you fear that he will have to move to...?
08:18This is an answer that I don't have the answer to understand.
08:26Because, you know, the market is the market.
08:29The market, everything can happen.
08:31What I can say to you is the club wants to keep him playing for us, for sure.
08:43The club wants to keep almost the players because this is a very good group with quality, with character and
08:51we have a very good base for the next season.
08:58Last one.
09:00There's a feeling that the club wants to talk to you about extending your own contract, your own stay in
09:05here.
09:05Is that something...?
09:06Yes, we are planning the next season together.
09:10We are working to plan the next season together.
09:15Of course, it's normal that the media, the speculation is normal.
09:24I think we did a good work together with the help of our supporters and we have everything to move
09:34on and to start to build something stronger for next season.
09:42Thank you very much.
