00:16OK, good afternoon. Who would like to answer the first question for our vote there?
00:20Cenk, we will start with Spice.
00:23Alvaro, had you some disappointing afternoon?
00:25Yes, for sure. I think we lost a game, but we didn't deserve to lose.
00:31I think we were the better team on the pitch.
00:35But at the end, on football, you need to take your chances.
00:39And they did better than us.
00:41How concerning are the defensive priorities we saw together?
00:44Well, I think we conceded very easy goals.
00:49So Crystal Palace didn't need to do so many things to score three goals.
00:57For us, we have to do so many things if we want to score a goal.
01:01So we need to control better the second balls and some situations that we are very wide and very open.
01:08So in this area, we need to improve for sure.
01:12Can you see a quick fix to those defensive problems?
01:15Yes, I think so. I think so.
01:17Because there are easy situations to control that goal that we conceded.
01:23So it's not something that I am very worried, for sure.
01:27It was similar to some of the Chelsea's goals.
01:32And we need to learn so quickly.
01:34Because at the end, when you concede a goal, the game could change.
01:40And I think we were brave with the ball.
01:44We pressed so well, so high.
01:46We controlled the game.
01:48But if you are winning 2-1 at home, you cannot concede some counter-attacks and some situations
01:56that when you are winning, you cannot concede.
01:58And a big positive was Josh King's performance in front of the England manager.
02:02Has he got a big international future?
02:04Yeah, for sure.
02:05For sure.
02:06I told you, in the first game against Chelsea, brilliant, massive player.
02:14Very good player.
02:14Really young, but with a lot of talent, with a lot of personality, ambition.
02:18He has everything.
02:19So I am very happy for him because he is so important for us.
02:24He is scoring goals.
02:25He is very determining.
02:27So, yes, I am very happy for him.
02:29There was a bit of frustration from the home fans today.
02:31Do they need to be a bit patient?
02:33A lot of changes?
02:33Yeah, for sure.
02:34For sure.
02:35Because it's three games, three losses.
02:38So it's difficult.
02:39And now you are thinking that we have to go on field.
02:42Manchester United coming to Craven Cottage.
02:44So you can see two very difficult games.
02:47Also in the Carabao, we have to go to face West Ham United.
02:51So it's not easy.
02:53But we knew that this month it was going to be a very, very tough month.
03:00But I told to my players, this month will not define our entire season.
03:06I think they are working so hard.
03:09They are playing like today, giving everything that they have.
03:13And with this mentality and with this character, I think I am sure that victories will come.
03:19For sure.
03:22What changed in the second half?
03:24Because it felt like a half-time for Madrid until you went up.
03:27It felt like the momentum was worth for them.
03:28So what do you feel changed after that?
03:32Well, I think we tried to control the game in the second half because we were winning.
03:38And when you are winning at home, you need to control the ball and control the counter-attacks.
03:43And if you want to score another goal, you have to do it in a way that you don't need
03:48to take so many risks.
03:50And yes, we conceded in the second goal.
03:53Of course, we were very, very unlucky in an unlucky situation.
03:56But I think, again, we have been working in this type of situation.
04:04And yes, we made some changes trying to improve the game, to control better the ball and create more chances.
04:15I appreciate it.
04:16It's very, very early days of the season, but this game is about results.
04:20Yes, for sure.
04:21How confident are you that your position is still secure?
04:24Well, it's not about my position that I am very confident.
04:30And I told my players that they are working in the way that I want.
04:35They are playing how I feel the football.
04:38So I came here because I believe in this football.
04:42And playing in that way, I think we will win games.
04:47I am sure about that.
04:49And yes, when you are a coach, you don't need to feel fear to be here and to lose games.
05:00And you have to believe in yourself, in your ideas.
05:03And for me, this is the most important thing.
05:05Any further questions here?
05:07Over there, Steven?
05:08Just to hear that you seem very confident in the way that your team played at this moment.
05:13Today was just game management.
05:15I don't feel there's much that you have to change in terms of personal, the way yourself.
05:20It was just second half as maybe a lack of experience in game management.
05:24Well, I don't know.
05:27I think we did a very good first half.
05:31We conceded a goal from a goal kick.
05:36And when you concede that goal and after that you score a good goal.
05:42And we were talking during the halftime about how we want to score the third one.
05:47Controlling the tempo of the game.
05:51Don't take any risks that we don't want to take.
05:55Controlling better the counter-attacks.
06:00But we need to keep working about that.
06:03Because when we have the ball, we know that we are a team that we are open.
06:09And yes, but when you are winning, you need to control those situations.
06:14Okay.
06:15Thanks very much.
06:16Thank you very much.
