00:00Thank you very much.
00:30Missing today, how much can you take from the character and the results, Shane?
00:36I will never sit in any press conference before or after the game
00:40and complain about the injuries.
00:42It's part of football and I see it more as opportunities for other players to step up
00:47and I think that's what the boys showed today.
00:50They showed attitude, they showed personality,
00:53they were down after 30 minutes 3-0.
00:57I think everyone who saw the game could believe that it's 3-0 for Chelsea
01:01and afterwards they showed a big belief into their quality.
01:06Afterwards they showed, like I said, a lot of personality, we made the 3-1,
01:11we were there to control the game, we created plenty of chances,
01:15we dominated the game, we scored the 3-2, we had then afterwards again a lot of chances
01:20to make the 3-3 and then who knows how the game goes afterwards.
01:25So overall I think we weren't brilliant at the basics,
01:31we weren't clean enough and doing the simple things right.
01:34In certain moments we missed the balance between the defence stability and controlling the game,
01:39that's definitely something what we have to improve,
01:41but coming here to this place and creating that many chances,
01:44having that many times of the game the ball causing that many problems for Chelsea,
01:50is something where I have to give my players a lot of credits.
01:57We will analyse the game, we will make a step in our process,
02:01we will make a step in our development and we keep trying to improve the boys
02:05and then let's see how it continues.
02:13I think he showed impressive performance, we know since pre-season what he's capable of doing,
02:20of course he's a very young player, he needs to improve his physicality, but he also,
02:26like I said, shows personality, he's stepping into a difficult play, stepping into a tough environment,
02:33but he's performing well, so that shows me what he's capable of doing.
02:37Of course, we all will be more happy sitting here with more points,
02:42because I think we definitely deserved it today and that's why we are frustrating,
02:46but it's also important to reinforce these kinds of individual performances.
02:51Is that common moment in Magic really the difference in your performance?
02:55I think the difference was in certain moments, it just had this individual quality.
02:59I think if you spend so much money on these kind of players, of Rodgers, of Palma, of João,
03:07then of course for a team like Chelsea, they can rely on this individual quality and
03:13they showed it in certain moments of the game and that's a little bit what we need to regret,
03:18because I mentioned before this balance of controlling the game, dominating the game,
03:22but also have this defence stability and if you can't defend these kind of moments,
03:27then we have to be more disciplined by having a better rest defence,
03:30by reacting better when we lose the ball and there were certain phases of the game
03:34where we weren't on our highest level regarding these things,
03:37that's why I said that there's still plenty of things to improve,
03:41but also plenty of things to be proud of.
03:58Yeah, we knew it yesterday and therefore it was another quick change we had to do,
04:05but again, the players they react on these kind of changes in an impressive way,
04:10they immediately tried to find solutions and in the end we wanted to have like three midfielders,
04:15we wanted to have a clear six and I know that Poscagli is capable of doing this because he
04:20already played it in the past, I know that Malik has this desire to score, he can be very good
04:27in attacking the box but also defending the box, he can run a lot and I think he showed today
04:32that
04:33it's not only goal he scored, it's also that afterwards or before he had a chance after a cross,
04:38he was always in a danger zone for Chelsea, I think it was difficult for them to handle and manage
04:45him,
04:45so that's why it was the idea to have like three clear midfielders, to have midfielders who can
04:51dominate the game in possession, that's what they showed and like I said also regarding the rest defence,
04:58I think it's not that easy if you don't play with the same starting XI, then I think in certain
05:05elements we miss this connection, we miss these relationships on the pitch but they tried it as
05:11hard as they could do and therefore I'm really proud of them.
05:21I hope he will be back next week, it's an ankle issue, he could finish the game
05:26against the Choms, so hopefully he's not that bad.
05:32I know if Georgie and Jack as well as they missed today, how was the stretch of the day
05:36and they're available and they're making the time to determine what they did?
05:40Theory, a lot of theory, how the game would be different but like I said, it's not that I will
05:48sit here and complain about the injuries we have, I think we played a good enough performance,
05:53a good enough game to take something away from here and that's credits to the players who are
05:57on the pitch, so I think we should focus on the players on the pitch because they deserve a lot
06:03of
06:04credit for this performance, they show great effort after very intense 10 days, I think you shouldn't
06:10forget is that we have to play a lot of players and a lot of games and we need to
06:16get used to it,
06:17so showing this effort here today, I always had this feeling on the sideline that there's this team
06:24Brighton who wants to win the game, we were pushing, we were dominating the game, we had the ball,
06:29we had disbelief to win it or to take definitely something away, so therefore credits to the boys
06:34who were on the pitch.
06:39I was actually going to ask about Yassin Ayari and I think you've already asked the issue,
06:45I would say next week you said you were expecting him to be back.
06:48I hope so, yeah.
06:51There are people who are trying to make a stick with Cardi, what are your thoughts on because we're
06:57talking to Cardi?
07:01Rumours about leaving from Cardi, I think we will get a lot of rumours the next day about our players,
07:08so it's normal that when you're successful as a club and Brighton is known for recruiting a lot of
07:15good players and having one of the best recruiting systems in the world that combined with the
07:22success and the achievement from the players you will get attention, so therefore I'm quite relaxed
07:27because we all know what we have with Ferdi and Ferdi knows what he has with Brighton, so I'm quite
07:34relaxed.
07:45I think he's a prime example of what I just said about our game, he overall had a good performance,
07:54in the end when we realised the goals we conceded, it's exactly about these basic things,
08:01being brilliant at the basics and I can give you an example, it's about rest defence, are you like
08:06really tight that he can't turn or are you two, three metres away that he maybe can take the touch
08:11and then turn, so these are some basic things and Luca has a great personality, he's a great player,
08:18he's a great human being, he will learn from these moments, the Premier League and the kind of players
08:24he will face, they will educate him, we will help him and therefore we are really pleased that he is
08:31with us and he will be a quick learner and then a great player.
