00:02Good evening.
00:19Pallis, can I start?
00:22Congratulations Roberto. What did you make of the performance?
00:25It's still quite a tough game by the way Pallis is quite organised.
00:28Well, I'm very happy for the performance.
00:32Because we should be a mature team with clear ideas.
00:40And we didn't consider a counter-attack, maybe just one in the second half.
00:47We created many, many chances.
00:51If we want to follow the perfection, we have to be more nasty.
01:05But it's an individual thing.
01:08Because if I'm number nine, number ten, I want to score.
01:12But I can't say nothing.
01:14We are improving the physical condition.
01:16Tonali today was unbelievable, incredible.
01:19We played with two players more.
01:22Tonali was the double today.
01:25But we are improving with Archie Gray, with Robertson.
01:30The two central back very well.
01:32To take the command of the game.
01:36Mateus Fernandez, another very good performance.
01:43Marmouche, Solanke, very well.
01:47Especially when we lost the ball.
01:50So it's a clear signal than they were inside of the game.
01:58Kudus Matistel very well.
02:00So I think they are improving and the team are improving.
02:04The team is improving.
02:06What would you make of Van Hecke's goal?
02:07Because the reaction is on the floor to hit it.
02:10Yeah, Van Hecke is tough.
02:14He's tough, tough character, tough personality.
02:19I'm very happy for him.
02:20Final one for me, Luca Williams-Barnett.
02:22How happy does that make you to bring on a young player for his debut in the Premier League?
02:26Yeah, but my career is clear.
02:31When I work, when I have young talent players, for me nothing changed.
02:39I thought it was the right moment for him.
02:44Because he's the first game in the Premier League.
02:47But as a quality, he's a big, big talent.
02:51It would have been amazing for him to get that assist at the end.
02:54He played so well when he came on.
02:57Luca?
02:59Yeah.
03:01Yes, but he's very, very great talent.
03:08Very young, but great talent.
03:12Feel the confidence, the energy is at the highest among the group since you've taken over?
03:17Luca?
03:19Luca?
03:19Just with the whole group in general?
03:25Listen, I think even before the national break we were playing well.
03:33We were playing maybe not 90 minutes, but many parts of that game we played very well.
03:45We didn't score, okay.
03:47We conceded a stupid goal and then we lost energy, we lost spirit, we lost the right union between the
03:59players.
04:02If we compare Tottenham before the national break and Tottenham after the national break, now we are playing as a
04:13team.
04:14And before the national break, we were playing as many very good players, but not as a team.
04:24Can I just ask about Archie Gray? Was it an injury or was it a tactic?
04:28It was a yellow card, yellow card, yellow card and I didn't want to take a risk for another yellow
04:36card.
04:38I'm sorry because he was playing very well.
04:43I explained why I took the decision, but I think it was the right decision at that moment.
04:53Hi Roberto, you talked about nastiness and wanting your strikers to be a bit more nasty.
04:58Everyone.
04:58How do you get that into your team?
05:05I don't know, I don't know, I don't know.
05:07I don't know because today we won 2-0, but 28 shoots.
05:20I think we play also very well because many times against 10 players, not 11,
05:32it's always difficult to find the space.
05:37The space is very small.
05:41You have to move the ball quickly to put the ball from Matistel to Kudus to move the opponent.
05:51If you want to play between the line, you have to be perfect.
06:00Otherwise you lose the ball and you concede a counter-attack.
06:03But for example, the second goal, we know very well that situation.
06:12The ball on the second post, also in the first half, Matistel put the ball for Kudus in the same
06:20ball.
06:20I think we can do more precision in that situation if we want to score more goals.
06:36I think before the international break, it might have been the Aston Villa game,
06:40I think you said your team were fragile in that match.
06:42Do you sense that fragility is now gone from Spurs?
06:46At the moment, yes.
06:47At the moment, yes.
06:48But we can't forget, I said to the players before the game and in the half-time,
06:56we can't forget where we have been two weeks ago.
07:01Two weeks ago, before Coventry game, we were last on the table.
07:09And we can't forget.
07:11And we can't forget.
07:11I think this is the crucial part, the crucial aspect for this team.
07:17And then playing with freedom, play and join with the ball, attack many players, no problem.
07:26But we can't forget where we were two weeks ago.
07:36Roberto, did Archie Gray really deserve that goal?
07:40Because he's a young player, he's out of position a lot, but it feels like he's really, really consistent and
07:45he's improving all the time.
07:49He's improving a lot, he's, I don't know when, after Manchester United, from Manchester United is playing very, very well.
08:06As a mature player, no? Also the team, today the best thing of the team, they should be mature, no?
08:14They knew what we had to do with the ball and not take risk, stupid risk and to consider counter
08:24-attack even one player more.
08:27I think the style of Crystal Palace didn't change for the red card.
08:35And I knew before the game could be very tough, tough, tough game.
08:41Because now we are improving in the principle, we are improving in the quality of the play.
08:47Maybe now we are not ready yet to play against one love block, so close, so aggressive, so small spaces.
08:56And it is not easy for the top team, imagine for us in this moment.
09:04Maybe in two, three months, we can reach the right level to play better against one love block.
09:14But now it is very tough.
09:17Hi, Roberto.
09:18Destiny a Doggy, Pedro Poro, they got some important minutes.
09:21What did you make of their performances and how close are they to being ready to start games for you?
09:26Pedro is ready.
09:30We didn't take risks speaking with him.
09:34He decided before the game was very honest with me and I appreciate a lot
09:40because Premier League is 38 games, not one game.
09:46And the Doge hopefully in the next future can work many weeks in a row and until now was not
10:02possible.
10:04Perfect, thank you.
10:05Thank you everyone.
