00:00And this fine young gentleman here will pass the mic to you. Who wants to kick us off?
00:05Dom?
00:10Rajis, where do you start in analyzing and picking the bones out of that?
00:14Hard to say. It's a defeat, but we are proud of the level of the squad.
00:19We created many chances. Probably deserved to score two or three more goals, so it was really tight.
00:27At that level, against one of the best teams in Europe, half chance gets punished.
00:35And it's probably the lesson of the day.
00:37It's rare that we're talking about goals at one end and then conceding so many at the other.
00:41Why do you think it turned out the way it did at the back today?
00:45Was it more Manchester City's quality than Manchester City?
00:47Yes, probably, but we also have to analyze our performance,
00:51so I'll take the next week to understand what happens exactly.
00:57I want to take the positive on one side because we played with the identity we want to show every
01:05day.
01:06Was it against City, ACMA, or Arsenal one week ago?
01:10So we are getting better. Obviously, it's not perfect, but we showed a good football.
01:15Just ask about Dejan Matali. Obviously, his first start, the deepest of deep ends, really.
01:19How do you think he did?
01:21I think he did well. It was a difficult start against one of the best teams, I repeat, but he
01:27did really well.
01:29He's really young, talented. He needs experiences to get better, so it was a perfect situation for him.
01:33How has he done since he's come in? How has he settled? How is he around the group?
01:38It looks good. The answer is on the pitch, so it's probably the best answer.
01:47Because he's so young, he still has room for improvement, but his potential is huge.
01:54Yeah, just to the back there.
01:59Hiya, I just wanted to ask about Brian Broby. It's not often a player gets a hat-trick against Manchester
02:03City,
02:04so what did you make of his performance and just that achievement in itself?
02:07Yeah, so we were not concerned because he didn't score the first four games.
02:15And he showed so many good signs during training sessions, his mentality on the pitch in the Premier League
02:24and the Europa League, so it was just a question of time.
02:27And the connection with his teammates is getting better, so I'm really pleased for him
02:34because it's never easy to have a long period without scoring. Now it's done.
02:41It looks like you might have had a call for a handball.
02:45I just wanted to see your thoughts on that, whether you've seen it since.
02:48Hard to say. It looks like a handball.
02:53To me. I don't know. I don't know. They don't explain.
02:57Just say yes or no.
03:00Arichis, congratulations to your team's mentality three days after such a tough Europa League.
03:04Yeah, it was a tough week. Arsenal, Ackmar, and then Man City, Champions League, and Europa League in the same
03:12week.
03:12So it's positive from the style of play, from the level of the squad, not so much about the points
03:19we got,
03:20but the reality of the Premier League is this one.
03:23You have to go through difficult period points-wise, but if the level of the squad gets better,
03:31I think, like Brian did, it's just a question of time for scoring and winning points.
03:36Could I also please ask you about Granit Xhaka?
03:38On Friday, it became public that an investigation has been opened against him in Switzerland.
03:44How is he dealing with the situation, and have you spoken to him yet?
03:47It's not my area to speak about those problems or situations.
03:54My area is football. So about football, he's very good.
03:58And how is he dealing with the situation?
04:00About football, he's very good.
04:02Just one final one down the front, please, and I think we're done.
04:07City had kept four clean sheets in the games before today,
04:10but you scored three, you created lots of chances.
04:13Can you just explain a little bit about how you went about doing that
04:17and unpicking a defence that's been so solid so frequently?
04:21It's about the quality of our players.
04:23I think the game plan was really clear about how we were able to manage the spaces,
04:32and when they went tight, we had Brian, who was a really good target,
04:37and when they decided to protect the central area, we got an overload.
04:41So I think we managed the situation really well.
04:43Okay, guys, thank you very much.
