00:25okay good afternoon and thank you for joining us we shall
00:29I'll take the usual format today beginning with Sky Sports News and James Havundra
00:34where you go James
00:45yeah good afternoon for sure there is a decision but we need to be patient we need to wait till
00:54the
00:56final sanctions from the from the panel I think that they are independent enough to to assess
01:02all the situations and for sure I'm not an expert and whatever I say whatever opinion we have they
01:11are the ones that they have to take it and we need to respect it and and be patient for
01:15sure
01:16there will be a moment that we will know but probably is going to take a little bit longer
01:23you spoke about the need to be patient but does there need to be an outcome when it comes to
01:27the
01:27appeal and the sanctions within this season the integrity of the Premier League well now first is
01:34the appeal after we need to wait till till the panel announces the the actions and we will see
01:41when what happens for us is is not in our hands it's something that I think that we need to
01:47respect
01:47that that independence from the from the judicial panel and and let's see what what happens within
01:54the rules to be respected let's focus on Chelsea now three weeks since the Brentford game what do you look
02:00to
02:01focus on during the last three weeks well for sure the the break has been probably too long we have
02:08had a time for for everything to analyze what what we have done in these games what's what's coming
02:16and with working with with some players recovering some players we have used the time the time properly
02:22for that and getting ready for for tomorrow for Bournemouth what can you tell us in terms of recovering
02:27players is Moises Caicedo now ready to go yes he's ready to go finally you have been asking this this
02:37question and we have used the time with with Moises to to be back fit he's been training good and
02:41he's
02:42uh he's okay to go yes they have been able to train some of them earlier than than others Marco
02:56Palestra as well so we have used the time and that was the plan we knew that against Brentford they
03:01were
03:02we were in with some players struggling but now they are they have trained well and they are ready to
03:09go
03:10that must be a huge boost for you having all these frontline players available for the game against
03:15Bournemouth yeah for sure we knew that they were key players they were very important and that they
03:22were going to have a big impact and and we have seen so far in during the week and now
03:28for the next block
03:29of games to the next international games we have five primary league games and and hopefully they will be
03:34available as long but for tomorrow they will be good Thomas Tuchel said that Cole Palmer misses too many
03:41matches for England what do you make those comments could he have played for England over the last two
03:46weeks he has trained the last week he's felt better we have we didn't want to to rush because we
03:53had
03:53enough time what the the most important for Cole is to be fully fit that he he enjoys his game
04:00that he's
04:01feeling okay whenever he's not like Brentford game he we could see that he was struggling and and from
04:08the next part we we we have good feeling with him and that he's feeling better
04:14finally for me Lawrence Stewart is due to be leaving the club soon has that come as a surprise
04:19and how do you see things changing in terms of the sporting structure of the club well first we have
04:26since we started talking a few few months ago with with the club Lawrence helped us a lot I'm thankful
04:32for that and wishing him him the best and I don't think that it will change much from from our
04:39uh working structured communication with uh better with Jose uh with sample you the the roles are
04:48clear and and it won't change much thanks james for charlie hello how is james he's he's not gonna be
05:05fit
05:05for tomorrow that's the the bad news about this uh international break that he picked an injury on
05:11his uncle and he's he's gonna be out for for a few weeks um
05:33he has played already a few few games and he's ready for sure to to play and i saw that
05:38he he did
05:39with a uh with the under 21s of England not he didn't play the last game against Ireland but he's
05:46done well and for sure uh he's taking a step forward he's playing more mature more aggressive
05:50more uh knowing what it takes to compete in in Premier League and for him being that young and
05:56he has great potential great qualities and he's he's he has played and he will play again
06:11a tough test so intense uh high tempo game very demanding they have very clear ideas what they
06:20do with uh Marco previously with with andoni you know the the the core of the team is is quite
06:26the
06:26same and every time uh you have to play Bournemouth it's tough to play against but but we play home
06:33we need to have a good game and we want to win and we need a win so we're getting
06:39ready for tomorrow
06:41thanks for charlie john
06:43just one more on man city i know it didn't impact you particularly as a player but if you were
06:48a player
06:48during that time and you potentially missed out on winning a trophy how do you think
06:55to be honest i haven't thought uh that way but for sure let's see i don't want to
07:02i am not going to say the verdict for sure and i prefer to wait to wait for that till
07:07we have the
07:07last war the last uh in the last moment and we we have a clear situation what what may happen
07:13but
07:14but for sure i was not involved so it's not my problem
07:18um you mentioned just briefly the three week break being too long do you think it is too long a
07:26period
07:26players potentially playing four games in 11 days traveling coming back is it can it be helpful for
07:32players to hit if you ask me which way you prefer the with three breaks or two breaks or one
07:40being that
07:40long i prefer the other way because this one is like you disconnect so much and you had like too
07:45long
07:46but uh not to change but if they ask my for my opinion what would i do i would do
07:51the the way it was
07:52before on the flip side though this one in particular has probably worked in your regards yes
07:59yes that's true we have we have used it and and for us has been positive but i mean for
08:04for for
08:04for the for the dynamic of of a club coach i will prefer the other way maybe the the national
08:11team
08:11coaches they prefer the other way i don't know maybe uh some players they have mixed opinions so
08:19let's see for the future how how it how is for next year
08:22i think you said yesterday in an interview that the start of the season hasn't been good enough
08:26do you think this is going to take a bit longer than you thought to actually get your side to
08:31where you want
08:33it's going to take time how long we will we will be checking we need to to keep improving to
08:39keep
08:39learning uh be in that process to be competitive to play good to to know uh how to read the
08:46moment how
08:46to adapt to situations and it's part of the process and we need to fill in is twisted we are
08:53from each
08:54game we are learning things but we need to to really that we we we don't make the same mistakes
09:01again knowing that each game is really tough and just one on cold do you think some of the criticism
09:06has been a bit harsh about him not being committed to playing for england have you spoken to him about
09:12it is he committed he's committed but he needs to to be fully fit to play and when he's fully
09:17fit
09:18he will enjoy his minutes and it's we need him in that in that moment the club and the national
09:26team
09:26thanks john simon
09:36i don't think so i've been talk but like you can talk with your friends because we don't have
09:44information our situation doesn't change i think that we need to to be focused on our own but for
09:52sure we we will we will want to want what's what's going to happen in the in the right moment
09:59till now
09:59we need to i'm very respectful when i don't know if you have to be in a judicial thing you
10:06want things
10:06to happen earlier than normally happens so the patience is is important
10:10is the message to the the there's a lot of talk about if fantasy will get points deduction
10:14is the message from you then to try to overtake them anyway let's not rely on points no no no
10:22absolutely it's do we do our our job that's the only thing that we can we can think about that
10:29we
10:29can control and in the in the right moment we will know how is the situation but it's not up
10:36to us
10:37it's not up to to you guys sorry not to the pundits not to anyone just to respect the the
10:43criterias and
10:44the the decision of the of the of the panel
10:56for sure any any any team missing a player of his quality of his uh of his importance of his
11:04weight of
11:05his uh dynamic is is because we have missed him for sure and now we we are we are happy
11:12that we
11:12have him back and he feels better we didn't want to take risks uh for brain form for example because
11:19we did against brighton i did myself and i said you did wrong and and now he feels much better
11:25thanks simon
11:34fred
11:34with sorry
11:44is it still because of his injury in the summer is because of the level of the competition in your
11:51formation how what's your thinking behind that no it's uh still early just few few games
12:00since we started and and este he's feeling much better from the injury we have seen in in brazil
12:06that he has played more you know the context is different what he has played with the national
12:11team to the to the premier league but we know the demand of of the premier league and we know
12:14as the how important he can be in some games and he will have his his moments and more minutes
12:20great
12:22thanks everyone and we'll end it there cameras off please
