00:00Congratulations, the two kinds of key incidents, the red card and the goal,
00:06Manchester City is about the goal.
00:09Could you just, from your perspective, say what you think about the outside situation
00:14and also, I suppose, more relevant to what you think about the goal of the red card?
00:20I think the field for the red card is the red card,
00:23but I also think that in the same action it's the red card from Bruno.
00:26And then the goal, the fourth officer immediately said to me that Erling was on-site
00:33and they were just checking the interaction.
00:35So nothing to add on the goal we scored.
00:41Just on the incidences that ended up having an impact to some of the Martinists
00:46that he's in the justice, you obviously feel that it wasn't.
00:52That's right, it wasn't happening.
00:53Yeah, yeah.
00:55I think Erling was on-site and Enzo doesn't interfere with the action.
01:05Mark?
01:16Yeah, I think, again, I think reviewing the action.
01:20I review the action immediately after the red card on the bench.
01:25And it's clear red card for Phil because it's a reaction.
01:27But you can also see in the same action, Bruno's action, intention.
01:33So for me, yes, it's red card for Phil, but it's also red card for Bruno.
01:38Richard?
01:52Yeah, last year I was here with Chelsea and we had red card after three minutes.
01:58So next time hopefully we can beat 11v11 on the game.
02:02Yeah, I think we had the plan in 11v11 that after the red card completely change.
02:08I think the game with Templars become more difficult for us, but also for them.
02:12Because they are a team that they love transition, they love spacing behind.
02:18And with Templars we just dropped waiting for them.
02:20So we didn't consider any transition, we didn't consider any spacing behind.
02:24So that's why I said that probably the game became more difficult for us and for them.
02:36Yeah, absolutely.
02:38Ryan Scherke is top player, but in that moment we needed something different.
02:42We needed a player that can win foul, can be a counter-attacker.
02:45And the idea of the second half, you know, with a heel in one side and one in the other
02:49side,
02:49when we had a chance to attack, we need to attack, we cannot just defend.
02:54And also I think we kept the ball quite well in second half, thinking that we were Templars.
03:11Yeah, that's why the club made an important effort, because they are an expensive player.
03:18I knew who was on the bench, but again, I think Elliot and Enzo, they were very good.
03:25Okay.
03:26So, you know, you had an answer on the huge goal of defensive,
03:30under-attackers, you know, to change half-hands of attacking for the attacker.
03:34Is that because this is the way you want your city to do?
03:37You know, a very difficult time, and if you still went for a lap,
03:41that's how you believe it.
03:43Yeah, absolutely, because I think second half, if we just wait for them,
03:49and we don't attack or we don't counter-attack, the game becomes very difficult for us.
03:55Even more difficult.
03:56I think healing one side and one in the other side and healing,
04:00we have also chance in the moment that we can attack, to attack.
04:11No, again, last year with Templars red card after two-three minutes,
04:19this season again red card, so the emotion was a little bit there.
04:22I think to win a game with Templars is very special,
04:25but he is even more special when it's a derby, Manchester derby,
04:30for the fans, for the club, for the players, and also for the coaching staff.
04:36It was just, I don't know if it's correct to say a normal reaction,
04:41but it was just a reaction.
04:44Rob?
04:52The message of time that I said to the players that the game was more difficult for us,
04:58but also was difficult for them.
05:00So keep believing that we can win the game,
05:02because again, they are top in transition, they are top with space in behind.
05:08With Templars, we just dropped, so we didn't consider transition,
05:11we didn't consider space in behind, so the game was more difficult for us,
05:14but also become more difficult for them.
05:16So, at least stay in the game, that at the end we can win this game.
05:20Did you just call on Max as if it would be more difficult?
05:22Now, if you said that if you saw Max going,
05:25all the players like how the stadium would become very nervous,
05:29doing very difficult, playing where they want to do,
05:31where are their expectations for them?
05:33But yeah, I don't think it's just this stadium.
05:36It's in any stadium when the fans can see their team with 11 players against 10,
05:41they want always more and more and more.
05:43So, I don't think it's just in this stadium.
05:45I think it's in general when you are with 11 players against 10,
05:48you want to see your team attacking.
05:59I think it was the only big save of the game.
06:03So, big players, they are there to score goals in the right moment,
06:08and big keepers, they are there to save in the right moment.
06:10So, Gigi at the end, for sure, save us because it was a great, great save.
06:15So, what role did you do for the group when it comes through,
06:18you know, performance, light outweigh,
06:20and, you know, there's new songs in that dimension.
06:23What did you do when you do for the game forward?
06:26It's fantastic.
06:29The important thing for me is that game after game, for sure,
06:3211 probably, the game was a bit different for us,
06:37but in the moment that we were 10 players, also,
06:39it's nice to see the team win, you know, with togetherness,
06:43with spirit, with effort, and today, if without this,
06:48it was impossible to win the game.
06:50So, happy for the players.
06:54Can you just talk a little bit about the leadership,
06:57the way you've been playing for the end?
07:00You saw some of the goals that you were going to take
07:02to the nation's grounds about the quality of the nation's offside and so on.
07:07I think season, they can be always better and better.
07:12There is always room to improve,
07:14no matter if you are early or if you are another player.
07:18Early since he came back from the World Cup, he is working very good.
07:21For sure, we need to give him some rest at some point,
07:25because, you know, after the World Cup,
07:27he cannot continue in the same way of season.
07:30But in this moment, we are happy with his performance.
07:33And then the most important thing is that he is happy.
07:36You can see the point, he is happy.
07:37Not only today, even in the day-by-day, in the training session.
07:41And as much as, you know, we keep early happy,
07:44we are all happy, as you say, in English, you know, happy wife,
07:47happy, happy life.
07:48We say happy earning, happy life.
07:54My wife, she would be upset, for sure.
08:03Yeah, I think without Roderick, without Bernardo, without John,
08:08without all the players that they left,
08:11we need players to step up, step in, as a leader.
08:15And it is remade.
08:18That's all.
08:31I think this kind of game, they give, you know,
08:35they give boost in terms of, in general, in all the aspects.
08:40Again, win games with them players, it's already nice.
08:44And then when it's a derby, for the players, it's even better.
08:48And the message also, half-time, between the players,
08:51between them was, guys, we can win this game.
08:54Keep it up.
08:54They really believe in that.
08:56So it was a nice feeling.
09:11They are both top players.
09:13I said already a few times that I don't think it's correct to judge players
09:17based on how much clubs pay for them, because now the market is crazy.
09:21But the reason why they are here is because, anyway, I knew Enzo from Chelsea,
09:26so I know how it is.
09:28And Elliot, again, I think he already showed with Nottingham,
09:33he already showed with the international team.
09:35And the good thing is that they are both very young,
09:38so they're going to be important for the future of this club.
