00:09Another week, another late goal that denies you points and again from the set-piece you must be very frustrated
00:16that you sat here and you've only got a point and not three.
00:20Yeah, for a short moment maybe, but at the end that's life, it's in football the same like in general
00:28life,
00:28you have phases sometimes like this, not to explain, and on the other side I saw again top effort and
00:39attitude of my lads,
00:41we created many chances, we had a good goalkeeper, all what you need for a good game.
00:46At the end we had a phase where we could score the second goal two, three, four times maybe to
00:54finish the game
00:55and now we have to deal with the point, this is disappointing, we continue our work and our way.
01:02You said there needs to be some patience for waiting for those improvements from set-pieces,
01:08but I guess you must be annoyed at the fashion that that goal came in, because it didn't look like
01:14there was any danger?
01:15Yeah, but for me it's not even a set-pieces goal, because, you know, I didn't see it again,
01:22but from my point of view it was just slapstick, so two players tried to win the game,
01:27to bring the ball out of the dangerous zone and then the opponent got the ball,
01:37so I think nobody did it with intention, it's not about how to defend set-pieces,
01:46it was just unlucky and kind of slapstick for me.
01:50You seem to be building in the right direction and certainly seem to be the better team in that second
01:54half,
01:55particularly towards the end and look more likely to score a second and concede.
01:59I guess you must be pleased with the performance but frustrated that you didn't put it to bed.
02:03Yeah, again we did many good things and we still have to work on things,
02:08counter-pressing, decision-making, executing in some situations, but the effort was top,
02:16the attitude was top and as you said we had the chance to finish the game,
02:22we have to work for it to get maybe in a phase where we are more lucky, like right now,
02:33but at the end it's not just about luck, we should finish the games,
02:38that's the most important message to everyone.
02:42It was a brilliant first goal, Alex Scott finishing off after a rapid transition,
02:49I guess that's sort of a characteristic of your teams playing sort of aggressively
02:52and attacking with pace and power, you must have been pleased with that goal,
02:56to get you up and running at the mortality rate.
02:59Yeah, even I have to get used to the Premier League,
03:03if you talk about possession and how to create chances, I feel,
03:09and I knew it, that it's quite different and I like it, I really love it,
03:14it's always an open game, I mean even high ball wins with high pressing were nearly not possible today,
03:25because if you press them you get a long ball and you have to take care about first and second
03:31ball,
03:31so many things you have to be aware about, but the goal was very nice,
03:36Alex Scott had a top performance today and now we prepare for Newcastle.
03:43And on the first half as well, you've already mentioned that Jojo Petrovic had made some top saves,
03:51he kept you in the game in the first half, I guess he seems full of confidence
03:56and now he's got real competition in the group Rorio as well and he must be keen to push on
04:03as well.
04:04Yeah, if you answer the question by yourself.
04:07So no, he likes to have competition, that's what he said, that's what he mentioned
04:12in the talks and even the first week now, it felt good with Miki,
04:19he had a really good first week as a goalkeeper, we have Fraser,
04:25it's a good group, a hard-working group and we need them,
04:29it's a tough and a long season with many challenges, so it's good to have good goalkeepers.
04:35And finally, how much did you enjoy your first taste of a home game at Vitality?
04:40I love it, I enjoyed it, I appreciate the warm welcome of the fans, I like the atmosphere,
04:50everyone knows that it's not the biggest stadium but it's not about the biggest stadiums in the world,
04:55it's about the atmosphere, the respect, the togetherness, these kind of things and I already feel it,
05:03even we didn't want today and that's why I'm really pleased to be here.
05:10Can I just take you to the Europa League, the AC Milan in that group you've got coming here?
05:17Fabulous little draw for you?
05:18Yeah, for everyone here, I think so, that's what the team, the club and everyone around here was waiting for,
05:30to see opponents like this, AC Milan, one of the biggest clubs in Europe,
05:37and we have tough away games, two times in Spain, we played two Czech opponents, I think so,
05:47we go to Norway, so it sounds like and smells like Europe.
05:54It does, and this is not an easy place to come, it's a small ground, as you said,
05:59but it's not an easy place to come for anything.
06:02It should stay like this, yes.
06:04It should stay like this.
06:05Yeah.
06:07Thanks guys.
