00:09Good evening, everyone. If you have a question, raise your hand and we'll come to you as soon as we
00:12can.
00:13We'll kick off with Sam from the Telegraph in the UK.
00:16Hi. I'm very, very happy. The way we attacked the game from the very first minute, the way we competed,
00:27the clarity that we had, how we had to attack them, how we had to disorganise them, the purpose, the
00:31quality,
00:32the amount of chances that we generated. For sure, the scoreline has to reflect a very different result.
00:39We will get there because if we are a bit more precise, it should have been much bigger.
00:44But to do what we've done today in this stadium against this opponent is remarkable from the team.
00:54Good ones that the team missed. Is there an explanation for that? And how concerned were you at that point
00:59that it could cost you?
01:00Yeah, when you talk about people being clinical, the reality is that they score one in every five or six
01:05shots on target.
01:06That's been clinical, you know. So, if we generate more volume, we will score more goals.
01:10The number of players that got into this situation, the amount of situation that we generated in various ways,
01:16it was something that pleased me a lot. And, yeah, the fact that obviously it's one nail at the end.
01:22You suffer. They have that situation with Kevin inside the box that any other day something different could have happened.
01:28But I'm really pleased because we won the game and I think we fully deserve to win it.
01:33Tom, Football London.
01:35We've spoken a lot about Martin this season because he's given us a lot of reasons to talk about him.
01:39He created so much, but in the end it felt like he almost took the game by the scruff of
01:43the neck himself to win it for you.
01:45Just some words on how impressed you are with him.
01:47That's what we need to play is with that mindset to decide again and to play with that personality that
01:54an action might not happen,
01:56it's the next one, the next one, and keeping system and keep taking chances and risks.
02:00He's getting into those positions much more in recent games.
02:04And now you feel he has this emotional state that he knows that the ball can go in and he
02:10scored an incredible goal tonight.
02:12James from ESPN.
02:13Michael, you mentioned he's getting into those positions.
02:15Is that something you've sort of actively asked him to do this season?
02:18Yes, because he can.
02:19We have now a lot of players that can take the ball there and can progress the ball much better
02:25than we did in the past.
02:27And when that happens, he needs to take different heights and angles and positions in order to disorganise the opponent.
02:33And he's done that really well tonight.
02:36A goal target, for example?
02:38Yeah.
02:39Goals every week.
02:40Every game goals.
02:42That's the target.
02:43Art from The Athletic over here.
02:45Hi, Mikel.
02:46Just in terms of those spaces you were talking about, it seems like throughout the whole game, Martin, Bukayo and
02:54Kai when he came on were trying to get into those pockets.
02:57Does it speak to the perseverance that they just kept going at it, kept going to try and find those
03:02spaces and not deviating from the plan to try something else?
03:07In the players' qualities and try to understand where the opponent can have certain weaknesses or misadjudgments and try to
03:15exploit them time after time.
03:17And again, against a team that is so well organised that they play in such a short distance is complicated,
03:24but it's very much doable because of the quality of the players that we have.
03:27Ed from The Guardian.
03:28Hi, Mikel.
03:29I think that's 13 league stage victories in a row for Arsenal now.
03:34I mean, what do you put that amazing record down to, the growing experience in this competition, I suppose?
03:39I think the hunger and the desire of the team.
03:42And then each individual just putting his very best in every game, in every action, it's just a joy to
03:49watch.
03:49I mean, every time we lose the ball, the way the team reacts, every time we have to track back,
03:53even if it's a frustrating giveaway, it's just incredible.
03:58And that's what is going to give us the opportunity to be what we want to be.
04:02And to win these kind of games, you need to be so good at doing these kind of things.
04:05Yes, and Daily Mail.
04:06Last season, Martin Odegaard obviously hit by injury in form.
04:10He scored just one goal across all competitions.
04:11Now it's four goals in five games.
04:14In terms of your dialogue with your captain, what's that been like?
04:17Can you see a different man?
04:18Have you tried to talk to him in a different way this season?
04:21Well, first of all, he needs to be available.
04:23And last year, he missed so many games through injuries.
04:27And he's got that edge and he's got now different relationships around him as well.
04:35And that helps.
04:36And now he can start to occupy some very different heights in the team, especially in the attacking phase.
04:42And when we get him into those positions, he's a really dangerous player.
04:45OK, gentlemen, if you can introduce yourself, please.
04:47In Forapoli 24, buonasera mister, complimenti per la prestazione.
04:51Grazie.
04:52Ha accettato l'uno contro uno con un giocatore velocissimo come Oilund.
04:55Ha chiesto tanto lavoro anche ai centrocampisti, in tal senso proprio per evitare che lui potesse partire poi in ripartenza.
05:01Grazie.
05:02Quello è il rischio.
05:03Ma questo anche vuole dire che se loro sono uno libero alla difesa, abbiamo un giocatore di più in qualche
05:09parte del campo.
05:11Noi contro un bloc che è basso così dobbiamo prendere quello il rischio.
05:15Abbiamo difensori che possono soluzionare questa situazione.
05:21È vero che è una o due situazioni in campo oggi che abbiamo avuto un po' di sorte.
05:27Ma questo è una cosa che noi prendiamo il rischio perché vogliamo essere dominanti.
05:33E senza questo non è facile.
05:35E finalmente il giovane, se potete presentare a voi.
05:38Sì, mister.
05:39Hai.
05:39Hai.
05:43Hai.
05:44Hai.
05:44Hai.
05:44Hai.
05:44Hai.
05:45Hai.
05:46Hai.
06:14Hai.
06:16Ho.
06:16Ho.
06:16Ho.
06:16Ho.
06:17Ho.
