00:00Please raise your hand if you have a question.
00:01We'll start with questions from English media followed by any questions from Portuguese media.
00:06Somewhere to start, please.
00:07Mike?
00:08Hi, Enzo.
00:10We satisfied with the result, but also the performance, how your team attacked overall in the evening.
00:17Yeah, absolutely, yes.
00:18I think the performance was a complete performance on the ball and off the ball for the 95 minutes.
00:25Even in the first half, I think we created enough chances to win the game.
00:30The keeper was very good.
00:31And then in the second half, we just tried to continue in the same way.
00:34And overall, I think we deserve to win the game.
00:39Hi, Enzo.
00:41It's obviously been four competitive matches in now.
00:44Do you see the sort of improvement in performances steadily from game to game?
00:51And has the improvement happened perhaps quicker than you were expecting?
00:57It's as you said, it's game by game.
01:00I said before the game to the players, and also yesterday, it's different competition,
01:05different stadium, different environment.
01:07But the most important thing is that we show who we are in this moment.
01:12We try to be, again, aggressive off the ball, on the ball, try to plan the game in the way
01:19and we can win the game.
01:21And then in terms of where we are, or it's a quick process or not, I don't know.
01:27Again, I have to tell you again the same thing.
01:31That for me, the most important thing is I can see game after game that the team is improving.
01:36And this is the most important thing.
01:38And you mentioned the aggression off the ball.
01:42Obviously, there's quite a lot of tension in the match tonight.
01:45How pleased were you with the players' attitude and how they stood up to that?
01:50I was very pleased.
01:54We know in these kind of games, when you come here, it's always difficult or tricky
02:01because the environment, because the way they grow up, it's normal.
02:06But I think we dealt with that very good.
02:09Hi, Enzo.
02:10Do you know what happened at halftime?
02:11There seemed to be a lot going on in the tunnel.
02:13Had you already gone to the dressing room?
02:16You mean halftime?
02:18Halftime, yeah.
02:19I left the bench and then I was already inside.
02:23I think Porto felt that Mark Gahey possibly should have been sent off for a collision over on the far
02:29side.
02:29Did you see what happened?
02:32I didn't see nothing, to be honest.
02:34I'm not saying because I see something, I really didn't see nothing.
02:40Hi, Enzo.
02:41So, what was it about the game tonight that made you think that Buwadi would be the right guy to
02:46start in midfield?
02:47What made him suitable to start?
02:49And also, what did you think about his performance?
02:51Because he's very good, first of all.
02:53Against Coventry, he lost two balls.
02:56And after he lost two balls, he was inside our box with the calm.
03:03And this show how good it is, because any player, after you miss two passes, you panic.
03:07But he's just 18, and he's a fantastic player.
03:11I think tonight he was very good.
03:13You expect, probably from Erling, Ruben, Matteo, that they can manage these kind of games better.
03:20You don't expect from a guy 18, and he was top.
03:23Never panic.
03:24I didn't see him in any moment panic.
03:26So, congratulations to Ayub.
03:27And this is the reason why he's here with us.
03:30It seems like his teammates trust him a lot.
03:33They're always happy to give him the ball.
03:35I guess that just shows that they realized really quickly how good he is.
03:40Absolutely, yes.
03:42The first one that they are happy when a good player, a big player arrive, are the players.
03:49Because they can see next to them how good he is, the player.
03:54So, they can see that he's a very good player.
03:59Enzo, Buadi was really good.
04:01Elliot Anderson, when he came on, was really good.
04:03Enzo Fernandes was very good.
04:05You must be really pleased to have those three midfielders already gelling and being such a big part of what
04:11you want to do this season.
04:12Absolutely, yes.
04:13Absolutely, yes.
04:14The club has made fantastic effort to bring these three players.
04:18Now, it's on me to allow them to work in the right way and use them.
04:24Hi, Enzo.
04:25I fully respect that you haven't seen the incident, but we've seen footage.
04:29And your captain, Ruben Diaz, puts his hand on the opposition coach.
04:35If you review it and you also see this, will you talk to Ruben about it?
04:39About maybe just trying to keep count?
04:41Because that could cost you, you know, an inquiry.
04:44But probably, anyway, you can ask what you want.
04:48How many times you see me or my bench or the guys that they work with me?
04:53Stand up, as you say.
04:54On the bench.
04:56Zero, 95 minutes.
04:57How many times you see their bench?
05:04Enzo, sorry.
05:06At the back here.
05:09Yeah, sorry.
05:10Are you happy with Donnarumma so far this season?
05:13Because he's had a couple of nervous games.
05:15I think tonight there's a couple of problems against Coventry.
05:18Is he struggling to adjust to the way you're playing right now?
05:21Do you think with the ball at his feet?
05:23No, Donnarumma was top against Coventry.
05:25He made some save, important save.
05:29And again, I think a few times tonight it's not on Jijo mistake.
05:35It's more for me wrong the decision to go back to Jijo.
05:39Sometimes we go too many times back to Jijo when we don't need.
05:42I always said that we need to go to the keeper when we don't have different options.
05:47But when we have more options, we don't need to go to Jijo.
05:50And against Coventry, probably the mistake that we almost conceded a goal.
05:54But that is the wrong decision from Coventry to play with Jijo.
05:59So I'm very happy with Jijo.
06:05Enzo, just coming back to Boade, how rare is it to see such maturity in a player that is that
06:12young?
06:12Because like you say, he's 18, he's already played in big games in the World Cup.
06:16This was his 10th Champions League match.
06:18And he seemed to...
06:19Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
06:20And then, you know, you can see mediately speak French, English, Spanish perfectly.
06:27You know, he's different in terms of empathy, in terms of how mature he is.
06:36And again, this is why the club has made the effort to bring him here with us.
06:40Take some questions from Portuguese Media, please.
06:43Good evening, Enzo. Rodrigo Lima, Ball on the Head from Portugal.
06:46In the last game, we saw Enzo and Guardiola making a lot of lateral movements into the wide areas during
06:54the build-up.
06:54Today, we saw Enzo doing it more because of Foden's position.
06:59How do these movements help the team create positional advantages in these areas?
07:04And then make the most of having so many players in the box when getting to crossing situations?
07:11Yeah.
07:12When we planned the game, we used to analyze where we can find solution.
07:16So sometimes Enzo is more wide, sometimes it's more inside.
07:21You all score the same.
07:22And then in terms of box, I said many times that things happen inside the box.
07:27So as much as players you bring inside the box, you can score.
07:31And as less players you bring in our side, in our box, you know, we can defend better.
07:45After this game with Porto, City will play against another Portuguese team sporting.
07:50I was wondering if you have been following the Portuguese league with more attention than you used to.
07:59And what do you think are the things that you can take and learn from and do it again in
08:08Manchester against Sporting?
08:11Yes, I watch games from the Portugal League, especially now that we played against Porto tonight.
08:21And the next one we're going to play against another Portuguese club.
08:28So I watch different games.
08:32And you can see that the level is very high.
08:35I said yesterday in the press conference, Porto played very good.
08:39Francesco is doing fantastic job.
08:41And it's very difficult to deal with that.
08:43But again, I think the performance tonight was good from us.
08:47And we won the game.
08:48Thank you, everyone.
08:49We'll leave it there.
