00:04Good evening, everyone. Hope you're well. We'll take a show of answer questions, please.
00:08We'll start with questions from English media, followed by any questions from German media.
00:12Summer to start, please.
00:15Jamie?
00:19Congratulations on the win. Two questions, if I may.
00:22First of all, does this again show how valuable Erling Haaland is?
00:26He's there when you need him.
00:27Absolutely. I said yesterday that it's always important that he's inside the game.
00:36We know that at any moment he can help us, he can score goals.
00:41Tonight also we score more goals with different players, we create so many chances that unfortunately we miss.
00:50But again, happy with the three points because Champions League away, Germany, it's always difficult.
00:56As you say, very good that you found a way to win, but I have to ask you, Donnarumma was
01:01unfortunately, at fault I would say anyway, for their first equaliser.
01:05How do you see it and will you speak to him? Is it a concern for you?
01:08It's not a concern, but it's a mistake. We recognise, he knows that it's a mistake.
01:13Yeah, now it's 48 hours, nothing on Forest away, we need to be focused on that and then we have
01:20an international break and we can see different things.
01:26Hi Enzo, lots of chances created, three goals scored but two conceded. Does it kind of show that this team
01:32is still a work in progress?
01:34Absolutely, yes. Absolutely, especially because I think that both goals are quite silly goals that we can avoid.
01:41But as you said, I think we are creating, since day one, many chances in each game, but we need
01:48to avoid to concede silly goals.
01:52How do you stop conceding silly goals? How do you tighten up at the back?
01:55Working, working more, understand, analyse, reviewing things.
02:00As I said, probably because I spent here one season three years ago, but I'm new here.
02:07I need to know the players, they need to know me, it's four months that we are together.
02:12So that's why I'm so happy, so confident, because we can only improve with this short period.
02:23Erling was captain tonight, do you like him as a captain? Do you think he shows leadership?
02:28Absolutely, yeah, also he was very happy, he scored, so yeah, happy for him, but again, Ruben was out, he
02:36was on the bench,
02:37Marguet was there, Gigi was the other one, but I think it's always a nice feeling to be the captain.
02:42He said on the TV, Enzo, that he thinks the team can still do much better, do you agree with
02:47that?
02:48That we can do much better? Yeah, no doubt, absolutely, that's why I'm so happy, so confident,
02:52because I can see that we can do much better, and again, for me it's a normal thing because it's
02:59just four months ago that we start,
03:04and this is not, you know, automatic, you need time, you need to work together,
03:09that's why I'm so happy, so confident because I can see that we can improve in many things.
03:16Enzo, you were talking yesterday about other players other than Erling scoring goals, Enzo Fernandes scored today,
03:22is that what you want to see more of him, sort of more of a gambling in the box from
03:26him?
03:26Yes, yeah, yeah, and Enzo with me at Chelsea scored many goals, no doubt that he's going to score more
03:33goals,
03:34because I think also that Turkey had a very good chance, a very good game,
03:38the wingers were very dangerous, especially Ely and Jeremy when he was inside,
03:43so again, we need that in the first goal, Nick O'Reilly was creating the chance,
03:49and yeah, happy because we have more players that they can create chances.
03:56Is the international break a chance to look at the goal-keeping situation for you, that break?
04:02At the moment, I'm not, to be honest, serious, at the moment I'm not thinking about the international break
04:08and the goal-keeper situation, because we are talking about the mistake,
04:13but a few minutes before the mistake, he has done a save that any keeper in the world,
04:18they are not going to do that save, so it's always a balance, and Gigi knows that the first goal,
04:25he was not good, but again, he's going to do better.
04:31There hasn't been a clean sheet for a while, is that something you can address on the training pitch?
04:38Yes.
04:40That can get better with work?
04:42Yeah, no doubt. I think also it's sometimes, I think we are at the moment of the season
04:48where we did four or five clean sheets in a row, and now we are conceding goals,
04:53so it's also the moment of the season that you concede goals, some moments not,
04:58but again, when you concede goals because the opposite is better, it's one thing,
05:03but when you give away goals like the first one or the one that unfortunately we gave away
05:09in the last games, that is something that we need to avoid.
05:14Jack?
05:20There is another Jack over there.
05:25Go on, Jack.
05:26Can I just ask you about the field that you were talking about, the kind of incomplete sheets,
05:32are you trying to find the perfect formula in the field?
05:34Because it looks like there are different tweaks every game in the way that it's set up,
05:39are you just trying to find the best way to play with this?
05:42Yeah, first of all, I have to say that what I said yesterday, we have so many good players,
05:48that to go always with the same one, I don't think it's correct.
05:53So it's good to give chance to all of them, but for sure I think it's happening the same
06:01with the defensive line, sometimes Kusa was out, sometimes Margay was out, tonight Ruben was out,
06:06but that's why I'm saying it's just for a month, I need also to understand more things about the players,
06:13I need to understand them better, that's why I'm so confident, because I'm sure that we are going to be
06:18better and better.
06:19So the sort of tweaks, you've got to see them do it before you decide on what this team looks
06:27like moving forward in the future?
06:29Yeah, sometimes it depends also on the other team, sometimes we have more physicality,
06:34sometimes we have more technical players inside the pitch, it depends a little bit on the game plan.
06:39But again, I'm also thinking that, as I said yesterday, it's 65 games, so it's a marathon,
06:47we need a player's fit and available for all season.
06:51Go to Sam for some questions from German media.
06:56Thank you, Sam, and then we'll do...
07:02Hi, coach, Aubrey Leipzig gave you the lead by an own goal, how did you experience and see the opponent,
07:10and how did you like the game plan of one of your best friends, Martin?
07:14Yeah, I know that they are very well organised, they are doing very good in the league,
07:22again, tonight they show how difficult it is to play here against them, they are aggressive off the ball,
07:28they are dangerous on the ball with Gruda, with Nusa, they are very good players,
07:35so again, that's why I'm also happy, because I know how difficult it is this stadium,
07:39I've been here in the past, so I know how difficult it is this stadium to come here and try
07:43to win the game.
07:48Hi, Enzo, just on the midfield again, it's obvious that one of the midfielders always seems to be quite wide.
07:56Enzo Fernandes, for example, at the weekend he was wide on the left, today he was more wide on the
08:00right,
08:00he joins the front line, and I guess maybe that can help pull the other defenders out of position and
08:07let a winger go in.
08:08But I guess if they're in that wide position and then the ball is lost, it can leave the midfield
08:13open,
08:13is that fair and is that the kind of trade-off at the moment where the attack can be very
08:19good,
08:19but also the defence, you know, it can be quite exposed sometimes?
08:22It can be correct if this kind of action that you just said happened many times in the game,
08:30but I don't know, the Brighton game or Aston Villa game, we are in the right position,
08:38but then at the end we finish to concede. I don't think in this moment it's a matter of balance,
08:44also because, as I said, probably in the last five or six goals we conceded in all the competition,
08:50they are almost individual mistakes, so it's not about the system,
08:55it's not about the defensive line or midfielder or the offensive line,
09:00in this moment it's more individual mistakes that for sure we need to do better and to avoid that.
09:05But the flow of the games can be quite open, can't they?
09:07I know not the goals, if the goals are coming from mistakes that's fine,
09:10but the games are quite open and end-to-end generally?
09:16Probably something that we need to review, now we have one more game before the international break,
09:21and then during the international break I will review things and see how we can improve.
09:28Any more questions from German media?
09:32OK, we'll leave it there.
09:33Safe trunks home, everyone. Thank you.
