00:00Questions, let's start on this side, with the Spanish press.
00:16Hello.
00:18What happened?
00:19Because after half an hour, the team had an idea, they were carrying it out.
00:27What's the key to that change in the second half and conceding at the end of that first half?
00:37The clear moments, or the key moments, were when they equalized to make it 2-2 just before halftime.
00:46And then the manager has an advantage, because it's always very positive,
00:49because it allows you to anticipate what Andoni was able to do.
00:55We had a fantastic first half.
00:57The mentality and the emotion drops theirs, grows, particularly when you're playing at Anfield,
01:04and it affects you.
01:06But I do believe we were able to remain in the game until the very end.
01:13But I really do believe if you score three goals, you play very well in the game,
01:19and you end up taking home a defeat.
01:23Where you have to analyze it is just on the errors or the mistakes that we made.
01:30And you just mentioned the moment the equalizer going into the second half hurt you a great deal.
01:43It was a moment where the fans feared getting beat heavily.
01:52When Ingemoa...
01:54Do you feel that Ingemoa was the difference?
01:58And do you think there were moments where you could have even drawn the game towards the end?
02:01I think Rio Ingemoa had a great game, but also many other players played well.
02:07I think both sets of players, you have to look at it collectively.
02:12There's emotions, there's goals.
02:14And when you play at Anfield, these things can happen.
02:16We've seen it many times.
02:18When a goal is scored here, you can feel that reaction.
02:24But I don't think we were close to getting hammered.
02:30I think even when it looked as though we were out of the game,
02:35I knew that this could happen within the game.
02:38I believe if we're able to correct simple details, but they're elite details,
02:45I think we would be close to winning these types of games on these types of stages.
02:51When you speak about small details,
02:54the equalizer, it was a ball that went across the area.
03:00He tried to let the ball go out.
03:04And Iba got injured when it felt like you had space in the middle.
03:09Do you feel that those were the things that caused you problems today or damaged you?
03:14I think there are many simple details which mean that they start to improve emotionally,
03:20get into the game.
03:22They almost peg you back.
03:24And they have that control or you lose that control and security that you had in the first half.
03:30It starts to evaporate.
03:31I don't like to talk about individuals or specify these details,
03:36because I think it's a joint collective effort.
03:39I think it's...
03:41...and that you can put them in the last half.
03:43Many of their players that managed to get them equal.
03:48In one of those moments against these types of opponents,
03:52perhaps you need a little bit more of defensive,
03:57I don't know if it's being more solid.
04:00I don't know if it's being more solid.
04:04I don't know if it's being more solid.
04:22I don't know how to manage tonight, but I really don't have that key factor, and I'm not going to
04:28think about individual details, I think it's something that happens collectively in the same way that it happened in Dortmund.
04:37Can I ask you about the changes? Because you needed to, and just the team, when they obviously equalized, they
04:46should do more. Is it because it was difficult to... and just that, obviously, Gerard came off, Molet came off.
04:54When you make changes, in this case, you try to always overcome what the other teams did to you to
05:05try and hurt them also.
05:07And at the beginning, I think the commitment to attack that they had, I think we needed to contain that,
05:15but I also knew that if we could get over that moment, get through that moment,
05:20so that we will also have moments in the game. That's why I said that there have been a period
05:25in the game very clear for each team, but ultimately, again, we had that lack of efficiency in certain moments.
05:39Thanks.
