00:00Are you okay? Is that right?
00:01Yeah, it's okay.
00:03It's okay.
00:06Okay, Matt, would you like to start?
00:08Hi Pierre, I assume that wasn't how you'd hoped your first game would go.
00:13It seemed to start well but then obviously the goal and then dropped off.
00:16How did you see the first game?
00:19I think I'm a little bit frustrated, especially with our first half
00:24because we created three big chances and we played as we decided to play.
00:32But we gave the goals to Everton.
00:36But in second half it was not the case because we took this second goal
00:43by not being concentrated on a free kick inside and after that they cross and score.
00:50And at the end of the game I don't like what we did because we didn't play with too much
00:57energy.
00:58We don't play quick.
01:00That's why we didn't create some other chances and the possibility to come back in this game.
01:06Why do you think that you didn't play with the energy that you wanted?
01:10Because there's a lot of new players who didn't play too much with us because it's psychological, you know.
01:19It's not only about the way of playing but it's about the way of how you want to win
01:25and how many you want to win.
01:30Do you understand what I want to say?
01:32Sorry, I'm not really clear.
01:34And that's why I'm not happy with that.
01:38Were you disappointed that you didn't take the lead obviously though?
01:42You say big chances, hit the post twice.
01:44Great save from Jordan Pickford.
01:45Should you have been ahead in that first half?
01:49Yes, but you know sometimes football is like this.
01:52You deserve to score.
01:54You didn't score and at the end you paid the bill.
01:57That's what happened today.
02:00But football it's not only about deserve things.
02:04You have to do these things and to convert the situation in goals.
02:09And at the end the game and the score will change.
02:12Why wasn't Ismail Assar involved at all today?
02:16He was injured because he has his pain in his groin.
02:21We took the decision yesterday before the session with the doctor and the player and me
02:28to let him in treatment and in individual session.
02:33And he will be back on Monday with us.
02:36So that changed since Thursday.
02:38You said on Thursday that he would have been involved today so it would get worse.
02:42Yes, I said the inverse because the information was good at this moment.
02:47And at the end we took the decision to let him quiet and in treatment.
02:54But next time maybe I will say I don't know.
02:58There's been suggestions that he wants to leave and join Galatasaray.
03:03Are you saying that that's not the case?
03:05For the moment we don't want him to leave.
03:09He is under contract with us for three years and he will be on Monday with us.
03:15That's the most important information for me and for you.
03:19So he's happy at Palace is he?
03:21You can ask him, I think.
03:24Because he won a lot of trophies with us.
03:27Chelly Riyad picked up an injury.
03:30Obviously it looked quite serious.
03:32Obviously taken off on a stretch.
03:33He looked like a lot of pain.
03:34How is he?
03:35For the moment I don't know.
03:37He is with the doctor and the physio.
03:40We will do the medical test on Monday or maybe tomorrow.
03:46And we will wait this information because you know he has this kind of thing by the past.
03:53And we have to be respectful with that.
03:56And don't give him fake information.
03:59That's why we want to take Suri this time and to have real information to give him.
04:06And to take for us.
04:08Is there any kind of initial prognosis on how serious it will be at all?
04:13I don't know.
04:15What did you learn about your team today from this first game?
04:19How much more did you learn than pre-season?
04:21And what specifically did you learn?
04:23I learned, but it's not really a learning.
04:27It's a confirmation.
04:29I think we are able to play better than we played during the pre-season games, friendly games.
04:35And now we show things during this first half and it's in a good way and in the way we
04:41want to play.
04:43But, you know, it's a process.
04:46And when you miss things, you have not to cancel your ideas.
04:51You have just to work more, to keep that, to give the confidence to the player to do that as
04:56a team, as a unit.
04:57And that's why today we pay cash our mistakes.
05:04But mistakes are a part of a game, of the game and of the play.
05:09But today I don't agree with this thing.
05:12Because when you do mistake under pressure, it's normal.
05:16You want to play, you lose some balls.
05:17It's in the package if you want.
05:20But today we lose some balls without pressure and that's a problem we have to resolve.
05:25How much did you feel that your team sort of got to learn?
05:30How much do you feel your team learnt about the way that you want to play today again versus pre
05:34-season?
05:35Do you feel they showed some of what you wanted to play?
05:37It's difficult to take a lesson when you lose.
05:42And the player needs time to digest the defeat and to analyse their performance.
05:48And we will speak with them about that.
05:51But we have to keep our first half, we have to convert our opportunities.
05:56And we have to keep this idea of play during all the game.
06:01For me it's a two big challenge for us, for the week who will come.
06:10Any others?
06:12Anybody else?
06:13Nope.
06:14Okay.
06:15Cheers.
06:17We can do that together.
06:18We move hopefully.
06:18It's cool though.
06:19Thank you too, Mr. Manuppur.
06:19– Thank you very much.
06:19There's a little bit of leveraging the player that I can do.
