00:13I think we do a good game, we compete against a Premier League team, a strong team but we do
00:26a
00:26lot of change but the guys do a great job, some players have space to show his quality, his
00:35character, his personality and I think today a lot of young players do a great job, a lot
00:40of teams stay organised all the time, sometimes when we have to stay more deep we stay organised
00:46and suffer together, when we try to play we play, we have the capability to play we play,
00:52I think the results stay till the end, after Everton score we try to go and try to draw the
01:03game but I'm happy with the job we do today but not with the result.
01:14Raul Jimenez obviously came off injured before the end of the first half, has there been
01:20any update on him and what exactly was the injury to you now?
01:26Unfortunately we are frustrated because Raul stay injured a few weeks, not a muscular injury,
01:33an injury in the knee but not bad but he's a key player for us, we are frustrated because
01:43they're going to play only 45 minutes and go out like Rijic to take some minutes because he
01:48needs minutes to stay fit to the next game and this kind of things can happen in the game
01:54or in the training session, we don't control these kind of things, we are frustrated because
02:00he is a key player for us but like we showed today we have a team, we have options not
02:08like
02:09Raul, Raul stay frustrated with a lot of frustration, we are with a lot of frustration all the team but
02:18we are going to fight for him, we are going to fight to win the next game to the fans
02:23and to Raul also.
02:24It's a short turnaround until the next game on Sunday, do you expect him to be available for selection?
02:31Raul? No, not the same.
02:38How big of a blow is that for you obviously going into the derby just now?
02:42Sorry I don't understand, speak slowly, if you don't speak slowly I don't understand, sorry.
02:46How big of a blow is that for you obviously heading into the derby in just a couple of days
02:51now?
02:52Yeah, we are all frustrated about that, he's a key player for us but we have to manage the things,
03:02try to recover Raul as soon as possible, try to recover the team because this week we have three games
03:09in a row
03:09and we have to recover to stay fit and well to the next game, we know the importance of the
03:15next game.
03:16For us the biggest goal is the championship, not the Carabao Cup but we try to fight to win and
03:24pass this against Everton.
03:27But we have to stay competitive like we stay in all the games.
03:32The team today, I win, I want more solutions because we put minutes in Belengard, we put minutes in Bertrand,
03:41we put minutes in Conan also.
03:43The three guys is the first game of the season for him, because of that in the last minutes more
03:50difficult because they stay tired,
03:52don't play any game before that. We use this kind of game to put minutes in the team and put
03:59more solutions for us in the team.
04:01And we have to put the team focus to win the game.
04:08Did you have to weigh up playing Raul today for this game, obviously with that in mind?
04:14You have to play because Adam played 90 minutes in the last game, Raul is going to play only 45
04:21minutes after Adam more 45 minutes to manage the minutes.
04:26Unfortunately happened this injury, not a muscular injury, we don't control these kind of things, it can happen in the
04:33training.
04:35But we have to stay strong and like we stay, we play these first games without Trippier, without Mosquera, without
04:45Rafiki, without Belengard, without a lot of players.
04:52The team stay competitive and we are going to stay competitive for sure, but with Raul we are more strong
04:58for sure, is the truth.
05:01But we are frustrated with that.
05:04Jean-Virginia, he made a lot of saves tonight, were you impressed with his debut?
05:09Yeah, I'm happy for him, but we know his quality, because of that we bring Joao to our team.
05:17He has a lot of potential, a young player, good for him to take minutes to play his first match.
05:26And for us, like a team, because he put us during 90 minutes in the game also, and happy for
05:33him, but not only Joao Verginia.
05:35I think Sean do amazing job, T in the first half, the second half more tired.
05:40I think Tommy Doyle, good, Booba, good, a lot of players stay in the high level.
05:46Kona, in his first game, stay well also.
05:51I'm happy with the players, with the effort, with the players, with all the teams, stay organized, play, stay organized
05:57and play with the ball.
05:58I try to look to the box of the opening team, but not only, I don't like to talk about
06:08only one player, because I think the team all together stay in the good level.
06:13On to the big one now, on Sunday, how much are you looking forward to your first Black Country derby?
06:17I'm looking, I know the importance of this game to the supporters, we know that, but we're gonna look to
06:27this game to win like we look to all of the games.
06:31We miss play in our home, we play four or five games in a row away.
06:38We go again to our home, an important game for our supporters.
06:44We want to fight till the end to win this game and put the supporters happy with this kind of
06:53game.
06:54Yeah, we heard the supporters chanting about the opposition on Sunday.
06:58Are you looking forward to seeing how buzzing Molineux will be?
07:01I think we have to do like we did in the last game in our home.
07:06Our fortress is our home, we need his supporters, we're gonna do all we are capable to do to try
07:15to win the game.
07:17And I think we stay competitive to win this game and the supporters are very, very important for us in
07:23our home.
07:24Hello Cesar, Raul's knee, when did he do that injury in training? Was it a few weeks ago?
07:30Not in the training, no, no. I said it can happen in the training, not a muscular injury.
07:38The muscular injury you can control if you put or not in the game.
07:42But when he's still the ball in the opponent, he put the feet in the grass.
07:49I think he's like that in the grass and do a little, but not too many times out, but stay
07:59out.
07:59I think we're gonna, we have now the break of the national team to recover him and stay with us
08:08to the next games.
08:10Just finally, do you have any concern with playing Sunday as you did and playing tonight, having not as much
08:17preparation time compared to West Bromwich for Sunday?
08:21Because of that we manage the game, we make a lot of changes in the team. Not only because of
08:28that, but because I want to put minutes in some players to bring more solutions for us.
08:36But you're gonna measure the situation, you're gonna stay competitive for sure, you're gonna recover well, we know what we
08:43have to do, we have a clear identity, the players know well what you have to do without and with
08:49the ball.
08:51We have to recover, don't have a lot of time to training, it's true, but it's the championship, it's our
08:58way and we're gonna fight to win for sure. Thank you.
09:02Thank you guys.
