00:01I think there's one more to come in, yeah.
00:05Hello, come on.
00:08Davide, do you want to start us off?
00:12When you come back from a trip like this, what do you expect to see on the team tomorrow?
00:19Anything different from the team?
00:20What we show in Manchester.
00:23I think in Manchester was the first game where we show to be a team together.
00:33Even ten players, the players who came from the bench, they played well.
00:43Someone changed the game.
00:49And I want to see the same spirit from the start of the game until the end.
00:59And not to depend on the bad situation or the bad moment of the game.
01:09We can't change spirit or behavior for the moment of the game.
01:21We have to be stronger all 90 minutes.
01:26If we score or if we concede the goal, nothing changes.
01:32You're playing well, you're not getting the results you deserve.
01:36Did you understand why this is happening?
01:40Because we didn't score and we concede the goal.
01:45How can you help the team?
01:49Well, I think the physical condition is important.
01:54You can see what I mean on Solanke.
02:00Also the confidence, I think, can make the difference.
02:06But I think we have qualities enough to believe if we want to change, we can change.
02:14If we want to win, we can win.
02:15If we want to score many goals, we can score many goals.
02:19You can't think like this if you have not qualities.
02:24But if you have qualities, if you have all conditions, you can change if you have a character, if you
02:34have a reaction.
02:36Yes, thank you.
02:38Good job.
02:39Very good.
02:41With Deke, he's obviously been out for something like 500 days.
02:45What sort of effect did it have on him?
02:49How tough was it for him to get back?
02:52It was very tough.
02:54I think it's the bad, it's the worst situation for the players.
03:03But it's also important for the players the injury because you can work in your spirit.
03:13When you are injured, you have to speak with you, with yourself.
03:17You have to communicate in a good way.
03:20You have to be stronger.
03:22You have to fix targets.
03:26You have to go through the pain, go through the tough moment and you can build a strong character in
03:39that moment.
03:40Obviously, you have a lot of things on your mind, avoiding relegation and everything.
03:48How much time does a manager under pressure have to spend with an injured player?
03:53I don't know.
04:00I don't know.
04:01It depends on your sensitivity.
04:07As a player, I was many times injured and I'm very close with Xavi Simons.
04:15For example, in this moment, I follow him step by step in his journey as an injured player.
04:24Like Madison, because the management of Madison is totally different.
04:31Because he is another special player and now he is available to play.
04:36Or Kudu last season.
04:39And Kudu was a very important player, even last season when he was injured.
04:46He is a part of this job for the players.
04:50But it is a sad moment, but at the same time it can be a crucial moment to become better,
04:57to become stronger.
04:59I was going to ask about James Madison.
05:01Is he in a position now where he could start the game?
05:03Maybe.
05:05Maybe, yes.
05:07He was involved.
05:08He was on the bench last season when he maybe shouldn't have been or couldn't have played in many minutes.
05:13Just because of the presence he has, it would be a boost to have him fully fit?
05:20Yes.
05:21I think, of course, you need to play in many games to reach the best physical condition.
05:30But there are players able to be important even if they play 10 minutes, 15 minutes, 20 minutes.
05:40And James is one player like this.
05:43But I think this season right now is ready to start the game.
05:48I don't know if we start with him, but I'm waiting that moment.
05:55What did you do in Mafei?
05:58You said the players were on their own?
06:00You set them away to go and learn?
06:02No, we work on the pitch.
06:05We stay together.
06:06We remove the phone from the breakfast, lunch and dinner to stay together and to speak.
06:15Because now it's like all the time.
06:23We had two free meetings, important meetings, speaking about football and our situation.
06:33To take everyone our responsibility.
06:38And nothing more.
06:40Some dinner just for the players, some dinner with the staff and nothing.
06:49Did the players go out together after the training?
06:53Yes, yes.
06:54The players, they went like the staff was with freedom, no military rules.
07:05I don't, I love freedom.
07:08That's quite a gamble with some English teams.
07:11You've probably heard tales of all sorts of drunken behaviour and people,
07:16teammates attacking each other with golf clubs in previous years.
07:21I'm guessing you didn't have anything remotely like that.
07:33No, I, like I said, I think when as a coach, as a responsible, you understand, you have to improve,
07:53you have to improve.
07:54be better. You have to change the situation. I think you find and you try to find all solutions.
08:04I already done this type of training camp with Marseille two times and I think it was
08:13very important. It was a good solution. I spoke with the club, with Vinay, with Johan,
08:21with the owner and together we took the decision to stay together. But it's nothing special. It's just to
08:33stay together and to spend more time together, especially because in the preseason we couldn't
08:42stay together. Many, many new players, many players came back from the World Cup and I think
08:53three, four days together, without family, putting the club on the top of the priorities.
09:06I think it's normal and it's good.
09:13Last week for me, just to clarify with Rich Charleston, who said it's not your problem,
09:19how and who will decide who will decide who will decide who will decide who will decide who will decide?
09:28Listen, I said to your colleague before, if you want to ask me the same question,
09:33we can stay until tomorrow, but I said the situation is very clear.
09:42The question you have to ask because, okay, I'm a coach, I take all the responsibility,
09:48you know, I take criticism. Yes, but I didn't take the decision about Rich Charleston. The decision
10:01started from the club. I am the coach of the club and Rich Charleston knows everything. If you want to
10:12speak about me, he knows where I stay from the morning until the evening. But it's not my problem,
10:21because my problem is Solanke, Marmouche, to score goals, to win games and not Rich Charleston anymore. But I have
10:37nothing more to say about this situation. I spoke many times, the situation was clear. And then
10:46everyone can think and can say what they want, but it's not my problem.
10:55Our lease is finished, please. Have you got anything off? No? Okay, fine. Thank you very much.
