00:00Again with James Fundra from Sky Sports News.
00:02Way to go, James.
00:03Hi, Chevy. Good to see you.
00:04Colt Palmer and Morgan Rodgers are still arguing
00:07as to who was the player of the match against Leeds United.
00:10Can you settle the debate?
00:12For me, it's good that both they feel entitled to this award.
00:18For sure, both they are enjoying themselves playing with the team,
00:23playing with each other.
00:25They enjoy when the other one makes good things for the team
00:30and we're respecting that but so happy that it is happening
00:35and that early days we have a good partnership there
00:39as well with Jo, linking with them.
00:42It's a strength that we have.
00:45How much do you feel about their strong relationship off the pitch?
00:49It's helping them connect on the pitch.
00:51I would say a lot because even before playing together
00:59they were so connected.
01:02For sure, we were following this connection to happen
01:07for a few weeks before the transfer did happen
01:11and Colt was very influential and he played an important role,
01:15Morgan as well, the club as well.
01:17We are happy that this has come to where it is right now.
01:24Has Morgan exceeded your expectations in terms of how quickly he settled in here?
01:32He's adapted quite well, very quick.
01:35For sure, this was a target and it was a strategic decision on us
01:40that we got a few players that were ready to compete
01:43and ready to have an instant impact in the team.
01:48Morgan was for sure the top one
01:51and we were expecting that but for sure
01:54the way it has happened, it's been great
01:59and he's feeling great.
02:01He's enjoying his game, his football, his connection with the team.
02:05The Old City manager joked that the only way to stop your front line
02:09is by kicking them.
02:10At your very best, do you think that your front line
02:13could be impossible to defend against?
02:16Let's not talk about those big words,
02:18impossible in football, it's too big words.
02:21We face tomorrow again with the same respect
02:24we did last week against Arsenal.
02:26They are seven points, no goal conceded,
02:31they will be hard to beat, they have their weapons as well.
02:35with transition, set-pieces, they have the belief
02:38the coach is doing a great job
02:40so it's going to be hard
02:41and we'll have to be at our best to beat home tomorrow.
02:44You've spoken about wanting to be more solid and balanced.
02:48Can you remain as good going forward
02:50whilst tightening up the defensive line?
02:51That's the goal, that's the goal.
02:53This is the focus, this is the work,
02:55this is the process that we want to be more competitive,
02:59to be as good or even better in attack
03:02because I think that there is room for improvement
03:04and to have the balance to feel solid as well
03:08and to feel strong in defence.
03:10We want not to concede that many goals
03:14and that's a work of everyone,
03:17from the strikers to the goalkeeper.
03:19In terms of team use,
03:21is Moises Carcetano likely to be available tomorrow?
03:23No, not yet, not yet.
03:25Let's see, for Brentford but luckily not
03:30not the moment to take risk with him.
03:32Not yet, we are not there yet.
03:34And finally, it looks like there soon could be a change
03:37in the ownership structure for the club.
03:39What do you know about that?
03:40And would you expect any change
03:42to impact your working environment
03:44and the way you work?
03:45No, I'm not the guy to give you information
03:48about those things.
03:50Nothing that I have,
03:52not all my knowledge.
03:54So I'm working fine.
03:56I'm very happy with since we started
03:58and how things have been working together,
04:01aligned and this is at the moment all I can say.
04:05Thanks, James.
04:05Nizal?
04:06I think there's three other players in Jerez.
04:08I was wondering if they might be available
04:10to them kind of soon.
04:12No.
04:12Those guys and that.
04:13No, no, no.
04:14And the other thing I wanted to ask you about
04:16was more, you know,
04:17you don't have much possession
04:18in some of the games,
04:19you know, against the Premier League opposition.
04:21I was wondering how much of that
04:22is what's happening to you
04:23when you're trying to change things
04:25and how much of that is kind of
04:27the way you want to play?
04:29I like to have a mindset to adapt,
04:35to compete,
04:36to have clear that it's going to be hard each game
04:40and the context of each game is different.
04:42We have scored so well in all the games
04:43we don't have to change for sure
04:45our approach of the game.
04:47But knowing that we are in the process
04:49of many things,
04:49I think that we are still on early days
04:52to know what this team for sure is going to be.
04:56I think that we will develop many things.
04:58We will develop with when players,
05:00important players,
05:01they are joining,
05:02they are able to play.
05:04So we are having this feeling
05:07that we are competing well,
05:08but some things that we can do better for sure.
05:10Is possession a key part of what you were saying earlier
05:13about trying to keep goals out?
05:16It's a key part,
05:18but for me the key part
05:19is to create chances,
05:21to have chances to win games,
05:24not to concede that many chances.
05:26and sometimes for sure
05:28with the ball you can control better,
05:30but sometimes you need to be able to feel
05:33that you are controlling
05:34when you have the ball
05:35because the opponents are good
05:36and the context and the competition
05:40is really hard.
05:41Thanks, Nizar.
05:42Jake?
05:43Hi, when the fixtures came out in June
05:46and you saw you were playing Haal game four,
05:49could you have expected
05:50they'd be ahead of you,
05:51unbeaten, in sheets?
05:53Why not?
05:54Why not?
05:55They deserve to be where they are.
06:00They've played against United,
06:02Coventry and against Vila
06:05and they've done it really well.
06:08They have shown that
06:08they have built a very clear idea
06:12of what they want,
06:13how they want to compete
06:16with players that they were already last year there,
06:19a few other players that they came new,
06:21but the mentality on
06:23they want to fight with everything
06:26to get their goal
06:27that I guess is to stay in the Premier League
06:30and they are doing well
06:31and tomorrow is the chance for us
06:33to try to beat them,
06:35first one in the league.
06:36And as a result,
06:37their manager was named
06:38Premier League Manager of the Month.
06:40As a manager who was also new to this league,
06:42what kind of job is he doing,
06:44do you feel, therefore?
06:45How impressive is it?
06:46Not just this year.
06:48For me to get a promotion
06:49from Championship to Premier League,
06:51it's a big, big success.
06:55So, well done from this award,
06:58but very well done from the promotion
07:00from last year
07:01and what they are doing is great.
07:03And tomorrow we are prepared,
07:05we are ready.
07:06There is not going to be a complacency from us.
07:10We will have full respect for them
07:12and we know that it will be hard to beat them,
07:16but if we do things well,
07:18if we complete and we play or whatever,
07:20I think that we have a good chance.
07:21Just lastly, you mentioned that Cole Palmer
07:24was influential in bringing Morgan Rodgers
07:26perhaps to the club in some way.
07:29I just wonder, in your career as a player,
07:30did you ever have an influence
07:31over another player coming to a club you were at?
07:36Probably, but not that much as Cole.
07:39Thanks, Jake.
07:41Simon?
07:42Just to officially follow up my question,
07:44on Tuesday,
07:46when is Jordan and Emmerich going to be the one?
07:50Not tomorrow.
07:53We hope that they can be for Brentford
07:56and we will see.
07:58Maybe for next week we have the same date again.
08:03Hopefully, I will tell you no more dates
08:06and you have the final question.
08:08They will be.
08:08That's my wish at the moment.
08:11And just to get, is Lampio okay?
08:13Yes.
08:15And final question,
08:16Pedro Neto,
08:18what have you made of him since working with him?
08:21He's been playing as a wingback
08:23and does he act as an example
08:24to the other wingers, essentially,
08:27of how you can adapt?
08:28For me, he's a winger.
08:29You can call him winger, wingback,
08:31because he has many qualities.
08:33He can play on the last line.
08:36He can defend on the first line.
08:38So he has this capacity
08:40to do many things.
08:43As well, he's good on 1v1.
08:45He's scoring goals.
08:47He has a fantastic work rate.
08:49He connects very well with the players around.
08:53So I knew him well
08:54from watching many games from Chelsea.
08:59But with him,
09:00you know that he's going to compete
09:01and you want this kind of friends in your team.
09:03I'm very happy with Pedro,
09:06the work he's doing.
