00:00From the first day I'm here, I feel that they support me and the team, but definitely me as well.
00:06It's been amazing, especially Sunday. It was maybe for all the Liverpool fans,
00:12but for many of them one of the best days of their lives and I think it was the same
00:15for me.
00:17If you are in a run of results like this, if you play for Liverpool, if you manage Liverpool,
00:22you know the pressure is there.
00:41You can look at it both ways. You can look at it, yeah, there are big shoes to fill,
00:44but you can also look at it in a way that you inherit a squad and a team that has
00:48a winning culture.
00:50He's been a great appointment. Everything I hear about him is positive and when you see the performances
00:55on the field being as positive as they are, then, you know, they've got the right match.
01:07He helped me even more by the team he left behind and the culture he left behind in that team.
01:12The quality the players have was, I think, obvious for everyone, but the culture of hard work,
01:18the culture of not only from the players, but also from the staff members.
01:39I think it's not a surprise that it can go a bit like this, but I didn't expect it to
01:48go.
01:49But you know what, if I'm being totally honest, if I actually look at the games they've lost and
01:53the type of games they've lost, they can't handle the physicality of the Premier League this season.
01:58They can't.
01:58It's an exception this season for me as it is for the players. The players are not used to losing
02:02a lot
02:02or having a lot of draws. I'm not used to that as well. It's always more of a challenge after
02:07you
02:07lose a game of football to get them going again than after a win tell them that we were not
02:12as good
02:12as they might think they are.
02:24The reality is that we don't perform to Liverpool standards.
02:29I haven't been perfect, but I can tell I would have answered this question exactly the same
02:33in the year we won the league. Because as your manager you can never be perfect,
02:38a player can never be perfect. So if you ask me one word to describe this season,
02:43I would describe that with the word injury.
