00:14good evening all if you have a question raise your hand and we'll try to come as many as we
00:17can
00:19who wants to kick off we'll go with nick for the back there hi
00:30I'm delighted with the win because to go to the international break after winning is one of the best things
00:36for a coach or for a player I think and regarding the performance I think we were the better team
00:43I think we have enough chances situation to make the scoreline much bigger we were efficient enough to do that
00:50and then we have to rely on generating
00:52volume generating a lot of situations in and around the box insisting insisting and insisting till we are able to
00:59break them down and this is exactly how we won the game and Martin the way he scores is not
01:05the most beautiful one but the most effective one which is a simple shoot and follow the next action and
01:10that was enough today to win the game
01:16well I think I need to praise the players and all the staff as well behind the scenes for the
01:21work that they are doing because it's been very very demanding we have very short time to recover from games
01:27with all the trouble but despite that the mentality and the quality of the team is shown it's it's incredible
01:33so we are not really a strong position we know the state we can improve in a lot of areas
01:39and we will analyze in this break how we're going to do it
01:42we will do that and I will know what to expect afterwards because it's going to be super difficult
01:47James CBS
01:48Harry Carl, a bit of a problem in the first half of the day and maybe throughout the season as
01:52a whole was with the offsides 35 in the Premier League this season what's going wrong with that?
01:58Are you counting the penalty or no?
02:00The penalty is penalty
02:02OK, so 34
02:05Yes, something to improve I said it that there are many areas that we need to improve that's one that's
02:10related sometimes to
02:11to the timing or really in the situation or really in the opposition where he's lined up and where the
02:17space is giving you but certainly it's far too many it's true that the Villa game obviously is putting those
02:23stats in a different perspective I think the sample is quite short still to analyze it but you have a
02:31point there.
02:32Son?
02:33Son?
02:33Son?
02:38Son?
02:38I don't know I haven't watched it back and I didn't watch it back so I don't have to lie
02:41to
02:41you guys so I was surprised because when they sent the referee to the monitor the bench was telling
02:49me it's a clear penalty is pulling in so I heard now that they decided not to because the starting
02:54position of Kada, he was offside so I don't know what the interpretation is I'm sure they will make that
02:59clear to understand it.
03:11I don't know I need to understand the decision what is overruling what in terms of the decision making and
03:20after that I can give you an answer.
03:22What is your opinion?
03:23Well I think he's offside but the law seems to say that doesn't matter.
03:27Ok so there's no offside then.
03:30Tom?
03:31Hi Michele.
03:32Hi.
03:33Quickly, is that clear?
03:34Yeah it's fine.
03:35This was another goal, a win by a single goal, last season I think there were 15 in the Premier
03:40League. Half of your games since the first league game have now been won by a single goal.
03:44What is it that's going to take it to go to the two to the three? I know you want
03:48that but what's it going to take to take that?
03:50I'll be more efficient. We are one against one against the keeper. We need to, that happened twice today. There
03:56is a penalty there. There is another situation inside the box that the ball is bouncing.
04:00So many shots that they've been deflected blocked so we need to insist. So find ways to be more efficient,
04:08sometimes even more pragmatic because sometimes my feeling is that we are trying to score a perfect goal against these
04:13low blocks.
04:14You need to be much more chaotic than that and that's it. And open I think the scoreline much earlier
04:20because obviously that's going to change the course of the game.
04:22Hi Michele.
04:24Hi.
04:25I know you spoke about the work that he's done. Is he an example of someone who by getting rhythm,
04:33by playing a lot of minutes, by playing regularly a lot of 90 minutes is finding himself in a way
04:38that is maybe even better than you or he or anyone.
04:42I imagine he could bring. He fought so much leading an attack that's missed a lot of players that he's
04:48taking so much responsibility.
04:50Yes, but that's the second part of the story. The first one is you need to earn the right to
04:54be able to do that. And Noni did and he didn't do it in the first part of the season.
04:58That's why he wasn't playing. But the way he reacted to that I think is a great example for the
05:03rest of the squad, which is I want to do more.
05:05He went away, started to train, he came back and he was a different Noni. You could sense that he
05:11meant business and he wasn't going to accept the situation.
05:14And since then I think it's been incredible. So now you are in that position, now you need to hold
05:20it and improve it. And he can still do that. So let's see what he does in this break.
05:24Did you see that he seemed quite cross with himself when he was coming up, shaking his head, maybe upset
05:29he didn't get that goal?
05:30Yeah. Is that a sign that he wants more?
05:33Yes, because he knows he had three clear chances to score today again. OK, he contributed and impacted in the
05:39action that is the goal leading to Martin.
05:42But there are still margins there and moments that we can decide better, we can be more efficient and then
05:48the margin will be bigger.
05:50Alexander Liman. Hi.
05:57It's a combination. It's all about timing. So there is a signal on the ball and you need to time
06:09your run that.
06:10If that's a second too late or half a second too late, that's off-site.
06:13I'm glad it's rectified. Surely Kai's goal tie could, in your eyes, go into mine.
06:19You and me can go in the office, work on that and then it's a simple answer.
06:25OK, we'll do the last couple of seconds.
06:26Mikko, you phrased Hall City quite a bit yesterday at your first conference.
06:29Did anything about them surprise you today?
06:33We have doubts with the line-off, first of all, whether they're playing 5-4-1 or 5-3-2
06:37because it's the first time they've done it
06:39in certain locations of players. The way they present it and who they are, it was exactly what we expected.
06:46I give them pride because I really believe that they fully deserve that.
06:50They are really well organised, they are really aggressive when they have to be, they are really pressing on the
06:54block.
06:54And you have the sense that any time the ball is in the box, they can score a goal. And
06:59that's a big quality.
07:00And just quickly, Shemi Ajay, you were on the bench with him the last time Hall City scored a goal
07:03here.
07:04With whom?
07:04Shemi Ajay. How impressed were you with him today before he unfortunately came off?
07:09Well, I mean, I don't like to talk a lot about other players, but I think they deserve the credit
07:16individually and collectively
07:17for what they've done today because they kept believing and going at it.
07:21OK, finally one of them.
07:23Hi, Michael.
07:23Hi.
07:24I'm in from Beacons here. Congratulations on the three points.
07:27Bruno Gavaric's name was chanted as he walked around the stadium.
07:32He led the game today in distance, covered and from touches as well as some key recoveries.
07:36Is this complete phase-to-phase action and control when you had visions from him when you recruited him in
07:43the summer?
07:44Yeah, still not there. Much better. I think he's hitting levels now that are serious, but we can still take
07:52the player to another level.
07:54That's my conviction. I told him in the dressing room, he's very good. He had a massive impact.
07:58He owned a lot of moments throughout the game, but there is still a lot to come and a lot
08:03to come
08:03and still in those relationships inside between the three midfielders.
08:07Thanks so much.
08:08Yeah, thank you.
08:09Goodbye, everyone. Take care.
08:14Question?
08:15Yeah.
