00:04Have you ever managed to get any kind of control of the game? Was it fitness, not fighting hard enough
00:09or too many new players?
00:13For many reasons. I think we are not a team yet. For a lot of reasons.
00:22Yesterday in press conference, when you asked me what is the target, we can fix the target when you become
00:36team.
00:37Before then become team, we can't say what we can do.
00:41For sure, we are not in the right point in physical condition for a lot of reasons.
00:48For the players, they came late after World Cup because in Australia we couldn't work in the right way for
00:56the trip.
00:57Don't take risk for a lot of things.
01:01But they are not excuses. They are the normal situation when you are building a new project, a new project.
01:16I don't want time, but we have to pass through these problems.
01:23I couldn't lose confidence in my players. I believe in my players, I believe in my club, I believe in
01:33myself.
01:33I think we are working well, but in this moment.
01:38And I knew after Offenheim game, I said that we are not in the right point.
01:47We are late for the start of the Premier League.
01:52But it is a step. We have to improve quickly.
01:59Anyway, we could fight stronger than we did today.
02:05We lost too many duels.
02:09We made too many mistakes in the timing when we wanted to push the pressure higher.
02:20We arrived second on the second ball.
02:24We didn't win one second ball.
02:27One duels, one tackle.
02:29And it's tough.
02:30But if you analyze everything, you can find that we played with one 2007-2006.
02:36Lukas Bergwahl, the second ball.
02:42I think he didn't play bad today.
02:48Even I substitute in the half-time.
02:51But Lukas Bergwahl, in the next two seasons, in the next two years, he will not lose that ball in
03:00that moment of the game.
03:03But there are steps to become better.
03:08Now the focus and the target is to become a team.
03:12And then, because team, you can't become a team for the transfer market window, for the players, the new players,
03:23the paper, the player of the paper. No.
03:26You become teams with the players.
03:30They find the connection between them.
03:33They find the spirit.
03:34They find the soul.
03:35What I said yesterday.
03:37Like I said yesterday.
03:39And it's a process.
03:42You mentioned the age of some of those players.
03:45I like them all.
03:46And I tell them as well.
03:46Did that show today you do need more experience up front in the attacking area?
03:52No.
03:53No.
03:53Not for the attack area.
03:55For Archie Gray the same.
03:58Shine today.
04:00Like Lukas.
04:03Many new players.
04:05Maybe they have to find the connection.
04:09Sandro Tonali, Senesi and Van Ecke.
04:14But I think I don't change the idea.
04:18I think we are working well as a club, as a project.
04:23We need the time, like the big teams they have done in the last ten years.
04:36Yes.
04:37Obviously it's going to take a while for your players to chill.
04:41But given how the team failed towards the end of last season, I think a lot of fans
04:47will be shocked by that.
04:49Were you shocked?
04:50Were you surprised?
04:50Yes.
04:51I'm surprised.
04:52I'm suffering for this defeat.
04:54But we destroyed everything.
04:58Or we are working.
05:00If you analyze last season, the defensive line, Porro, Danso, Mickey Van de Ven and Udoge.
05:10And today, Archie Gray, JP Van Ecke, Senesi and Robertson.
05:15Four new players.
05:16Two midfielders, Rodrigo Betancourt and Palinja.
05:19Today, two midfielders, Ber Valet.
05:21Why not Betancourt?
05:23Because he came late in the preseason.
05:27In the preseason, we worked with Lukas Bergval.
05:30I think at the beginning of the season, at the beginning of the new project, it was good,
05:36it was right to play with Lukas Bergval.
05:42But I knew before the game, Lukas Bergval, in this type of game, maybe he could suffer more than Rodrigo
05:49Betancourt,
05:4930 years old, and Lukas at 20.
05:54I knew.
05:55I knew before the game, but at the end, you have to think.
06:00We go and we try to build something good for the club.
06:07We need also Archie Gray, we need also Lukas Bergval or we work for today.
06:13And tomorrow, I don't know.
06:16For today, I agree.
06:20For the plan, for the project, what the club wants and what we are in the direction we are working,
06:29I think, is the normal process.
06:35Even we are suffering for defeat and we are shocking for this defeat, especially for the way we lost the
06:43game.
06:44Because they deserve to win and we play very, very bad.
06:51Tom.
06:53You talked yesterday about people's balance in terms of level of excitement,
06:58what's happened this summer.
06:59Do you think this match would be useful in that regard for the players to keep their feet on the
07:05ground?
07:13Yes, but before the game, before this game yesterday, I told you when you asked me about the target,
07:24about the happiness for this transfer market window, I said, first of all, we have to become a team.
07:35And to become a team, in my home, there are two biggest conditions, the soul and the style of play.
07:46And today, we didn't show the quality of the play, with the ball and without the ball.
07:55When we find these two conditions, I think we can become dangerous for everyone, everything.
08:05Until we can't, I feel, until we don't arrive, we don't reach these conditions, we have to suffer.
08:18And today, I think, is important for us this defeat.
08:28Because maybe we, see, we woke up stronger than we thought, maybe.
08:40Roberto, Archie Gray's youngest ever Spurs captain.
08:43Could you provide insight into the role that he played this season, especially with Jet Spence League?
08:54Archie Gray can play as a fullback, as a midfielder, but I think it's much better than his performance today,
09:15but not just Archie Gray, also JP Van Eyck, Sandro Tonali, Richarlison, everyone.
09:28We didn't play a good game.
09:32But we can't change idea on Archie Gray for today, or for Richarlison or Mattis Tell.
09:44How long do you expect for you to come before the international break?
09:47Do you expect it to come before the international break?
09:50Do you expect it before next week against Blue Pestle?
09:55We need time, but to put...
10:00I think we are much better than we show today.
10:04So, from Wednesday, we can show our qualities and we can show who we are.
10:17But anyway, even if we win Wednesday or next Saturday, we need time to become a team.
10:29Because to become a team, we need time. We need time. We have to analyse the situation. We have to
10:35understand the situation.
10:37The improvement we have to do. Every one of us. Because we lose and we win together.
10:46Last season, obviously, Tottenham were very strong from set-pieces.
10:50But losing Romero and Pellini to the kind of big set-piece players for Tottenham last season.
10:56How are you trying to refocus that?
10:58At least in Brentford in set-pieces are maybe the best teams in Premier League.
11:04So, it's normal to suffer. I think we suffer more the duels, more the second ball than the set-pieces.
