00:00Andoni, congratulations, first Champions League game, maximum points, first win over Diego Simeone as well.
00:06But the tempo at the start of the second half looked particularly good.
00:09What did you say at half-time to build on the fact that you'd got into the game,
00:13go back into the game by levelling things up before the break?
00:16Yes, I think today I have to blame myself a little bit for the start of the game.
00:24I think Atletico has used a structure that they haven't used before this season.
00:29And it has cost us a little bit to match properly.
00:32I think until we considered the goal and we've had a couple of minutes where we've adjusted things and we've
00:39matched much better.
00:41And it was the moment where we've started playing better.
00:44Obviously after half-time you have more time, everything was better set.
00:50And second half I think we were the best team.
00:54I think the team, the players have shown big character.
00:56Big character and also the crowd has helped us massively in the second half.
01:01In this kind of night you are there doing your job but you also can enjoy it.
01:07Also, how good a way to go about earning a new contract is that from Alexis McAllister tonight?
01:13Yeah, lovely, lovely goal from Alexis, lovely goal from Dom Soboslai.
01:17I think it's good also that the midfielders can add goals because we have midfielders that naturally
01:25they are going to arrive to the box.
01:27You know, sometimes we are talking about the structure, keep your position, but it's inside them.
01:32For Ryan Gravenberg from Dom Soboslai, for Alexis McAllister, it's good that we can also benefit offensively from those situations
01:41where they arrive to the box.
01:42Any concerns over Bradley Barclay though?
01:44He was holding his left calf before he went off.
01:47No, he's cramped.
01:48He's just cramped.
01:49There's no injury.
01:51With Bradley it's about building his physical condition.
01:54We don't really know, we didn't know until now probably how much he can play because he hasn't had any
02:01minutes in precision for PSG.
02:04He played 30 the other day.
02:06Today we had some question marks, how many minutes he can give us, and probably now we know.
02:13And I'm very happy because also he has had two very clear chances against the keeper.
02:17He hasn't scored, but I want him there.
02:20There is where he has to make the difference, arriving to those spots, those positions, and I'm very happy because
02:26in, I don't know how many minutes he's played, two times against the keeper is a good sign with Bradley.
02:31Overall, how much, or how was that as an experience for you?
02:35What's the most pleasing aspect of it?
02:37I really enjoyed it.
02:39There is a part where you are in charge of the game and you cannot think too much about the
02:43atmosphere, but especially after the 2-1, we've had very good minutes there.
02:47We had a couple of chances, we were pushing, and you can feel the atmosphere in the stadium, and even
02:55in moments at the end where obviously they are attacking a little bit, you have to defend, and players were
03:00tired, and the people have helped us a lot, and I'm very thankful.
03:09Hi, Andoni, good evening.
03:13Congratulations on the victory.
03:16Can you analyse the game, a good first half from Atletico Madrid, and the second half, you changed things around.
03:26How did you see it?
03:28Yes, I think Atletico Madrid surprised us with the way they approached the game.
03:33They did not use that system too much this season.
03:37To have five players in the middle, Coque, Barrios in the middle, Ballena is also difficult.
03:45If you're not ready for that, the way they pressed us made it difficult.
03:49I think when they scored, I think we got better, because we had two minutes in that break to adjust
03:57things, and I think beyond that, I think we played really well.
04:02We equalised at the end of the first half, and then we had the 15 minutes at half-time to
04:09organise ourselves better.
04:11I think we got back into the game, and I think we played really well in that second half.
04:36I think he's been very, very good the other day, and he has been even better today.
04:43I think he's defending really well his side, but also sometimes, because he's a centre-back, we underwrite his offensive
04:51side.
04:52Today he gives, I think, a great assist to Dom Soboslai.
04:57He's made a couple of very good sets from his position, and I'm very happy with him.
05:04Very happy, I think, he's come now with the willingness to show that he belongs to this level, and I
05:12hope we can keep him there, because he's in a lovely place.
05:18I don't know, I hope, but I don't know, I don't think.
05:28He doesn't have a proper injury, but he finished with an Eagles in both of the adductors the other day.
05:36We expect him to have him for today. It hasn't been possible.
05:42It's not a big thing, but the problem is we play here in two days and a half.
05:45So, I think now is a moment of recovery, these two days, see how Bradley has finished, how Cody is,
05:57if he can give us some minutes, if not, Rio, Victor.
06:02I think today, everyone has done a big effort, and we need to recover, and we need to regroup and
06:10think, because in two days and a half, we play again here, Fulham.
06:15It's a very important game again for us, so I hope we can have Cody with us, but I cannot
06:21guarantee it.
06:23Phil?
06:24I'm don't know, Milos Ferdin has been off today as well. Was that an injury?
06:28No, Milos and Bradley were just cramping. We were just tired, and I think I always want to do subs
06:36because of this.
06:37Because you've given everything, you don't have any more, perfect. We do the subs, not because you haven't run and
06:42I have to sub you.
06:43So, I prefer when you've done everything you can, and then we sub you because you cannot run any much.
06:50Just a gent with the glasses, and then one last one in the far corner.
06:56Hi, I'm Donny. I'm curious, how happy are you with the progress the team is making to assimilate your system?
07:04I'm happy today because we've faced a very tough situation, starting the game, considering the first goal,
07:14not having the plan very clear in terms of they've changed some things.
07:18So, I think we've corrected quite well life, and this experience will help us for the next times.
07:25You know, we don't have like three years of experience where you can say, you remember this one, we do
07:30pan-pan, and then you correct things.
07:32Now, here now you have to talk with a lot of players, you have to correct Ann, to get results,
07:37and to go in behind, win the game.
07:42I think it's in four games, three times that we've come back somehow.
07:47I think it shows that players are pushing, are showing character, and now it's a matter of getting everything cleaner
07:56and sharper.
07:58Last one there, please.
08:00Hola, mister.
08:01Buenas noches.
08:02Good evening.
08:05Marco Llorente has scored half the goals of his life at Anfield.
08:12Can you give us an explanation?
08:15There's nothing like this in football.
08:17You'd have to ask Marco Llorente that.
08:19I remember the goal where he scored two goals previously.
08:24He's a great footballer.
08:25But ultimately, defensively, attacking-wise, he's a great player.
08:31He's a great side.
08:34They started on the front foot, and it was difficult for us until we adjusted things.
08:39It always happens.
08:41Every footballer has a ground where they score.
08:45And today, let's hope that Marcos doesn't score anymore here.
08:49Two years running, he scored, so hopefully he doesn't do it again.
08:53At least it was difficult for us to stop him today.
