00:35I just had a similar question and I think that the last game against Palace made me really grounded having
00:43like this criticism is it wasn't easy and now we sit here in a completely different mood with a feeling
00:53of being really proud of being proud to beat Palace and therefore we only
00:59need to understand which development we went through and I know where I have to be very grateful for or
01:07for what I have to be very grateful for and especially the performance from the players and the development they
01:11went through the hard work they did in all the last month because they really stick together.
01:17They face adversity, they were always there for each other, they challenge each other but they also take care of
01:21each other and therefore it's just a privilege to be part of this group and therefore I'm really pleased and
01:27happy for everyone who was part of this game today, for everyone who is part of this club, who supports
01:34us in good and bad times.
01:35and therefore I hope everyone can enjoy the night today. It's a much better night than a few months ago
01:42and a much better feeling and that's why I'm really happy for supporters and for everyone who was involved.
01:56Yeah, and now I'm for a few years here and I experienced some derbies and I'm part of this club
02:07and part of the journey, that's why I'm also part of the history and therefore if you study the history
02:12you get more and more the meaning and the understanding for these kind of games and
02:17especially when you face them you really feel that it's something special and therefore I'm really pleased that we got
02:22the win because also me and the players who work with me since a few years had to wait a
02:28long time for this win and also to support us.
02:31Therefore, we are really, really happy today, we can enjoy it but on the other side it's also very, very
02:36important to stay humble and to stay grounded because I experienced on myself a few months ago I was there,
02:42now I'm there.
02:43So in football it can go quick so we have to have this hunger inside of us to keep going,
02:49never be satisfied, keep pushing, similar to the performance today that my player had this hunger to keep going and
02:55that's also what should be our identity beside the pitch that we are never satisfied and keep going to get
03:04better and better.
03:17I think I don't look at the table at the moment so of course positive results, negative results always create
03:26judgements but in the end we need to focus on performances and that's the only thing we can control and
03:31that's how we manage it since I'm
03:34since I'm here, we always focus on performances, no matter if we have a good or a bad run.
03:39I think the main reason why we focus on performances is because we want to develop players
03:46and we want to develop us and ourselves as a club.
03:49Therefore, I think it's not the right moment to watch on the table.
03:53The right moment is to watch the game back and try to improve and try to recover well,
03:59because on Thursday it's the next challenge.
04:05I think it's very important that if you work in this club, you feel that this club has ambitions,
04:14and I'm part of this club, so of course we all have expectations on ourselves, we all have ambitions.
04:21That's why I also work in this business, because it's about competing, it's about having competition,
04:25it's about achieving something.
04:27But again, you only achieve something if you show the right daily behaviors.
04:32We don't achieve, if I'm sitting here and speaking about our expectations
04:35or what we can achieve, because these are just words, and words mean nothing in football.
04:40It's about performance, behaviour, habits, and that's what we focus on.
04:57I'm very pleased because, like you mentioned, he's a hard worker and he always puts team first,
05:04he always is we than me, and therefore I know how desperate he wants to score goals.
05:10I know how desperate he wants to get involved into scoring, into having an assist.
05:16And I think last week he showed against Sunderland that was already that try from shooting from the middle line.
05:21There the wind wasn't perfectly for this try, now the wind, I think, was better for him.
05:25So, yeah, therefore really, really happy that he gets these rewards for all the effort he's putting into the club,
05:34into his own development and into the team.
05:48Yeah, and I think one thing what I kept repeating during this time was that new players
05:54or other players have to step up and they only can step up if they get the opportunity for doing
06:01that.
06:01And, of course, there will be certain moments where they might suffer,
06:06where they might have a little bit of waves in their development,
06:09but we try to give them the environment.
06:11We try to give them the environment where they can express themselves,
06:14where they can be themselves and where they can develop.
06:16And also part of the development is developing your own personality,
06:19and that's what we try to do with certain players.
06:39No, I think that's just quality.
06:42So I'm not training with Thierry Gomez shooting from 50 meters in training.
06:47So we try to create a hunger in the player.
06:53So we call it desire to score.
06:55And, of course, when you have this desire to score,
06:57then you've got to immediately, like, when you win the ball,
07:01the perception of, OK, there's the goal.
07:03So I think we speak a lot about this.
07:05It's goal now, but for me it's perception.
07:08The goalkeeper's far out of the goal and then come quick into action.
07:11It's a good first touch and with a good first touch,
07:13you can then afterwards have 52nd touch this scoring.
07:18And therefore, I think it's more on these kind of things we are working on.
07:22It's not too much about shooting from the distance.
07:25It's just, like, making the players quick in their mind,
07:29making the players quick in the head to merely recognise,
07:32first of all, have a good perception of the situation
07:35and then get immediately into action.
07:37I mean, Daniel, I've got nothing to do with that.
07:41I think it's generally a reminder that people are back wondering,
07:45where are the goals in the Premier League?
07:47This is the reason you have their advice in the New York's top players.
07:52So, when you come up with that advantage,
07:54does it surprise you and I have your own perspective?
07:57Yeah, of course.
07:59Of course it surprises me.
08:00So, sitting here after a 5-0 win against Palace,
08:05I would lie when I say I expected a 5-0.
08:08So, therefore, I mentioned one thing before the season
08:11and I said that you can't replace anybody one-to-one.
08:14But what you can do is that also, regarding this case,
08:18other players have to step up.
08:19And what we have proven so far,
08:21that we have a lot of different goalscorers.
08:22And I think that's key for replacing a goalscorer like Daniel Elbeck,
08:27that it's not up to one player,
08:29that it's not all the pressure on one player,
08:31the pressure is on a lot of players.
08:33And a lot of players have the quality in our team to score goals.
08:36And I think that's the most important.
08:39Darren?
08:39Just on the flip side,
08:41the number three cheats that you have to do is
08:44that you have to do.
08:45What do you put back there to the goal?
08:48I think it's the best to do,
08:49or I think it's the best to do.
08:55Maybe because of the coffee from Bart afterwards.
08:57So if I have a clean sheet, he has to give us a coffee.
09:02No, honestly, the key is being brilliant at the basics
09:06and doing the simple things on an extraordinary good level for a longer period.
09:13And we spoke a lot about this last thing about getting consistency into games.
09:19And at the moment we are quite consistent in our performances during the game.
09:24So we don't have like that many bad faces.
09:26Of course, we have like certain moments where we can defend better.
09:29Also today we had like two, three moments where we have to defend better,
09:33where Palace had their moments.
09:36And therefore there's still space for improvement.
09:40But overall, I think it's really, really important to be consistent
09:44in the small and simple actions and just be brilliant at the basics.
09:48As one of the new players, that's how you really feel it.
09:53And sometimes you start to adapt to the game.
09:56What do you see in the game?
09:59What do you see in the game?
10:00What do you see in the game?
10:01What do you see in the game?
10:02What do you see in the game?
10:05I see in him a natural leader, although he's very, very young.
10:09I see in him a competitor.
10:11So what surprises me or what impresses me the most is how mature
10:18and how big is his intrinsic motivation for improvement.
10:22So every day he wants to improve.
10:23Every day he reflects himself.
10:25Every day he tries to get better.
10:27And besides that, he's a really, really good person.
10:30So he really takes care of his teammates.
10:32He really tries to understand the culture where he's in now.
10:35He tries to integrate as quick as possible.
10:38So therefore it's a very, very impressive personality.
10:41But also with him, of course, now he had a few good games.
10:44That doesn't mean he will continue like this.
10:46Because of course we try to help him to keep going like this.
10:49But also with these players we have to be patient.
10:52He had a really good start for us.
10:53And also this was something we didn't expect.
10:56But we try to stay humble with him as well.
11:00We try to give him the right platform where we can improve every day.
11:05And then let's see how it's going.
11:21They should look at the table.
11:23They should enjoy the night today without a mobile phone.
11:26And enjoy a beer or something else.
11:29And enjoy to wear the seagull's colours.
11:31All right.
11:34All right.
11:40All right.
