00:02Good evening, everyone.
00:07We're trying to get around as many as we can.
00:09If you have a question, raise your hand, and we'll come to you.
00:12Who wants to kick off?
00:14Josh from The Sun.
00:16Hello.
00:22Well, I prefer to talk about the squad.
00:29I think it was a squad victory today.
00:31And everybody that was involved in the game in any capacity made a difference for us.
00:38And that's a big message for all of us because with the depth that we have
00:43and with the quality that we have, if we really make that count,
00:46that's going to be a massive weapon for us.
00:49James, ESPN?
00:56That was still in my tummy and I spoke to the players about it.
00:59That image when the players were on the floor, totally got it.
01:03It was a really difficult one to take.
01:05And, yeah, we use that to bring energy, to bring more conviction and belief
01:11to understand the difficulty of the challenge that we had ahead,
01:14especially against a team that was so successful last year.
01:17And then they lost a few days ago in a really big way.
01:22And you expect a reaction.
01:24And this stadium, it's a really difficult one on big matches.
01:28And they make those moments count.
01:31And today when we have to suffer, we did suffer.
01:34And when we have to be really dominant, we were.
01:36So I'm really pleased.
01:37It was very different.
01:46And that shows a lot of maturity.
01:48That shows as well that shows that we have in the players
01:51to change momentum and to understand what the game needed.
01:54And we brought a lot of leadership in the team.
01:55People really can hold the ball and have really dominates
02:00in spells through the ball and in duels.
02:03And I think they've done it.
02:05And Epps comes in.
02:06It makes a difference.
02:07Doing the game.
02:09Esri makes a debut in really difficult circumstances
02:11where it's not this emotionally to come here and play.
02:14And it looks so composed, so calm.
02:16So I'm in control.
02:19And yeah, for all those reasons,
02:21I think that's the reason why we won the game.
02:23Oh, yes, I think.
02:24Just on the very coming in at halftime,
02:27I think this time last year,
02:29it was kind of taking off at halftime.
02:31So a very big contrast to what happened today.
02:37And what were you looking for in comparison to what you see in the past?
02:43To trust him.
02:44And we knew that he could create an action.
02:47He created three actions that he put people almost looking at the goalkeeper,
02:51one against one.
02:53But as well, I had to trust him when they made those rotations,
02:56especially on the right side and cash goals.
02:58Last year, he lost him.
02:59We conceded the goal.
03:01And this year, I think he had learned the lesson.
03:04Because every time something was happening,
03:05he was at it.
03:06And I think he helped the team in a great way.
03:09Tom, football under?
03:10It felt like a very tight and contested game.
03:13You didn't have to be able to zero shots on time in the match.
03:16That effort, determination,
03:18passing in the application of the team,
03:20that was so key to winning the title of the game.
03:22A hundred percent.
03:23And in the Premier League, away from home,
03:24when you come to these quality squads,
03:27these quality coaches,
03:28that they know how to make life really tough for you,
03:31you really have to be at it.
03:32And I think consistently throughout the game
03:34and individually, I think we did that really well.
03:37Just quickly, you've lost Leo and Gabby.
03:41We're expecting Gabby probably to go at it.
03:43You've only brought in Christos on the net.
03:45Are you looking for their line closes to fill up that spot on that?
03:49As I said, we are trying to improve the squad.
03:51And until tomorrow night, we're going to try to do that.
03:54I've been disconnected from the world for 24 hours
03:56because I think my energy and progress has to be on the match.
04:01I will get back on it now.
04:02Matt from Telegolf.
04:03Just kind of on that theme,
04:06do you think you've gotten a variation of an option
04:09in the forward areas, or do you need to do more?
04:12Depends if everybody's fit or not.
04:14So we can talk about today, but that scenario might change.
04:18We knew that with Wheatley out,
04:21we had an injury in the back line.
04:22With Jure and I, we're in big trouble.
04:24So we had to do ESRI.
04:25And today Mosqueda was, he could not continue.
04:29So we know that the depth has to be really big
04:32when you are fighting for four competitions
04:33in the manner that we play as well.
04:36So we're going to try to do that.
04:37So we are, could you have a...
04:38Yeah.
04:39Ask how scary it is.
04:43He's fine, but he was feeling like he was about to have something.
04:47And that's why we have the bench that we have.
04:50And that's why we have to pre-guess ring.
04:53Okay, guys?
04:54Lovely.
04:55Thanks a lot.
