00:00I don't see the tone as well.
00:02Yeah, I understand.
00:05That's how it is.
00:12Rich, I hope this is going to be quick, so carry on.
00:16How do you reflect on that today?
00:18You needed a point to get Champions League before you got a point?
00:22Yeah, and again we didn't get what we deserved.
00:27So that's a common theme this season, we deserved to win.
00:33Although in the 100th minute we could have even lost it,
00:36and so many times this season we've seen that before,
00:38that we were getting chances to make the winner,
00:41get a chance to make the winner, get a chance to make the winner,
00:43and then in the 100th minute or the 10th minute of extra time
00:47they got a serious chance, the header.
00:50And this time it didn't go in, so many times this season it did go in.
00:53So I think it was another game that looked similar to all the other games we've played.
00:59I think it took them 40 minutes before they arrived in our 18-yard box for the first time.
01:03Maybe I'm exaggerating it a little bit, but we completely dominated the first half.
01:08But then after a throw-in they got their first big chance.
01:13And yeah, set-pieces is not our theme, but we spoke about a lot this season.
01:18And the season as a whole, in fifth place, 60 points in the Champions League,
01:24what's your verdict on the campaign as a whole?
01:27We came here today to do the minimum, and that's the minimum required,
01:32and that's qualifying for the Champions League.
01:34As you see when you take a look at the league table,
01:38big clubs are not able to qualify for the Champions League or in Europe.
01:43Big clubs have not been able to qualify for Europe in the last few seasons in this league,
01:48so we can never take it for granted.
01:50But it's clear and obvious that we want it more.
01:53But I'm really proud of the players, what they've done this season,
01:57because it's been a very, very, very, very tough season for us,
02:01with all the things we had to experience, with all the injuries,
02:04and I can come up with all the things we had to go through.
02:09But if this in the end is the minimum for us,
02:12qualifying in the Champions League in fifth place,
02:16and going out in the FA Cup against the winners,
02:20of course, after losing an away game to Man City, which so many teams do,
02:25losing against Paris Saint-Germain for the second year in a row,
02:28where no team in the last two years were able to beat them over two games,
02:32over one game.
02:33Chelsea, of course, in the Club World Cup, and maybe Arsenal now in the final,
02:36but over two games not one team has been able to do so.
02:41So, yeah, not what I would have loved us to achieve this season before we started,
02:47but taking everything into account what has happened to us this season,
02:51I'm today happy that we've qualified for the Champions League.
02:58Anymore?
03:01Anymore, what did you make of the defender from the supporters?
03:06Yeah, brilliant, as always.
03:09That's what you can expect from our fans.
03:11They completely got what they deserved.
03:14Two legends that in the last nine years won nine trophies over here.
03:21So, yeah, for them it must have been a special day, a difficult day probably as well,
03:28but definitely also a special day in the fans made it special for them as well.
03:34So, I think, I've said it many times, this club knows how to celebrate a league title,
03:42and this club knows how to handle tragedies and this club definitely also knows how to celebrate these two players.
04:00As you do your review of the season, is there anything you would look back and say differently?
04:09Oh, yeah, many things, yeah.
04:12I haven't been perfect, but I would have answered this question exactly the same in the year we won the
04:18league,
04:19because as your manager you can never be perfect, a player can never be perfect.
04:23But all the decisions I've made throughout the whole season has been only with one idea,
04:28and that's being very well prepared.
04:31So, all the decisions I made were never made from,
04:33oh, I haven't had time, let's make a decision like this.
04:35Now I've thought about it really well.
04:37And as you know, not every decision can be the right one,
04:40so it would be stupid for me to sit here and say all the decisions I made were the right
04:44ones.
04:46But before I made them, it every time felt they were the right ones to make,
04:54but a lot of times I didn't even had to make decisions or choices,
04:59because this was maybe the first time this season that there were no academy players on our bench,
05:06and that has been an exception.
05:08So if you ask me one word to describe this season, I would describe that with the word injury.
05:15I'm taking it,
05:16because I have no doubt about it.
05:23There's no way away THAT'S made.
05:25In terms of first time,
05:25too, we don't act on this and hopefully sort of disagree okay?
