00:07Good evening everyone, hope you're well.
00:09We'll take a show of hands for questions, please.
00:13How would you describe that performance?
00:17It's quite clear.
00:18First off, we were not good enough.
00:21We didn't match the intensity that this kind of games require.
00:25We conceded one, we conceded two and then we tried to react.
00:28Most of the time in football, when you are 2-0 down, it's too late.
00:33In the second half, we started much, much better.
00:36We scored one, we could have scored probably more.
00:39Then in transition, after we lost a duel, we conceded the third goal.
00:48Three defeats in a row in the Premier League, how concerned are you?
00:51It's obviously not very good form.
00:54I'm always concerned, even when we win games.
00:57Again, we need to have balance.
01:00We won seven in a row, now we lost three in a row.
01:03So we need balance on that.
01:04Just during the international break, try to understand what we can do better.
01:10And try to start again after the international break.
01:14Can you see it?
01:16Can you see it?
01:17Can you see it, please?
01:17Hi, Anzo.
01:18We saw you sub off both of your full-backs today at half-time.
01:22Was that due to the synergies between them and the winners?
01:24As you saw in the first half, you were quite struggling to create chances at why in this entry?
01:27Both injuries.
01:29Both asked for change.
01:31Marguet's injury.
01:32Iosko, where they all had some issues already during the week.
01:35So it was just because they had problems.
01:40And also, we see you build up in the 3-1-6 shape quite often.
01:43I'm sorry, again today.
01:44Do you think that left Eli Anderson quite open in transition when he's not even forced to
01:48running behind?
01:49No, I think you concede transition when you lose ball like the first goal.
01:53And you concede transition when you don't win duels.
02:10I think, again, now it's international break in the same way we have done the first one.
02:16We're going to use this international break to try, you know, to clarify what we can do better.
02:22We know that we do some things better.
02:26And also, we know that we need to improve things.
02:29So we're going to use that and try to understand how we can avoid this kind of games.
02:34But you don't see any similarities between the three defeats?
02:38No, they are all different.
02:40I think they are all different in terms of, you know, if you see chance, possession, shots,
02:46touch inside the box, all the three games we were much, much better, but we lost all of them.
02:50So there is something that for sure we need to do better.
02:54Anzo, you mentioned the duels a couple of times.
02:56How frustrating is it that you're not winning these sort of basics?
03:00You mentioned duels quite a lot already.
03:02How frustrating is it that you're not winning these sort of basics?
03:20The desire to win second ball, to win duels, otherwise it's not good.
03:26The individual mistakes.
03:30Do you think the individual mistakes are down to, it feels like it could be down to the way you're
03:36building up in the back.
03:38There are a lot of players discussing, there's a lot of arm-waving and talking about how to correct how
03:46you build up in the back.
03:47And that feels like it's putting quite a lot of pressure on the back ball.
03:51No, again, I don't think it's... I need to give you the same answer.
03:56When, you know, when you lost balls in the way we lost the first goal or when we are not
04:05able, you know,
04:06we are attacking and then when we lose the ball we are not able to win duels on second ball
04:10to recover immediately.
04:11It's no matter about three or four, it's a matter of two win duels.
04:17That is the first thing that you have to do in this kind of games.
04:20So are you excited to get fed up of being asked about and seeing the individual errors for yourself?
04:28Today I start... Say again.
04:30Are you getting fed up of being asked about individual errors and seeing them for yourself?
04:35Yeah, no. Again, today I think has been general. It was not about one player.
04:43I think, again, first half, I think we lost almost all the duels, all the contact.
04:50And against this team that they fight for relegation, if you don't match this thing, you're going to struggle.
04:57Why did you... Do you know why you...
04:59It's something that we need to understand, the reason why.
05:01And for sure, if we want to, you know, to win games, we need to improve that.
05:07Yes, a simple question. Why do you think you're losing the duels and what do you need to change that?
05:12We need to... Again, we need to... Today has been the two previous games that we lost.
05:18I never mentioned about... It's just about... It's just about today that this kind of game, first of all,
05:25you don't require to match the intensity. Otherwise, you struggle.
05:30And today, we didn't match the intensity. We need to understand the reason why and try to avoid the next
05:35games.
05:36The goals that you conceded in transition today, defensive transition, what is that down to?
05:42Is that down to individual mistakes, lack of concentration?
05:45No, the second and the third goal that we conceded in transition, they are copy and paste.
05:50The second one, we lost the duels in the middle of the pitch.
05:53And the third one, we lost the duel at the edge of their box.
05:56And from there, as I said, if you make mistake or you don't win duels, you can concede transition.
06:03Is that what concerns you most about this particular defeat? Losing those duels and the lack of intensity?
06:09Yeah, yeah, absolutely.
06:12You've got a break coming up now. Do you think the team needs a break?
06:16There's a pattern of kind of conceding goals.
06:18Yeah, when you lose a game, you won't always go again immediately, you know, to try to win games.
06:24But I think this international break, also because it's the last one until March, so it's also good for the
06:31players.
06:31And when we come back, try to win games.
06:34Will you speak to the players kind of as they go away and while they're away or just kind of
06:39leave them?
06:40No, it depends a little bit.
06:41It depends a little bit. With some of them, if I need to speak, I speak or otherwise not.
06:46And also another game where you've created quite a lot of chances and could have scored more goals.
06:51Like I said, what's not quite clicking in the final game?
06:54In the last three games that we lost all of them, in terms of numbers, I think again, possession, shots,
07:01chances,
07:01clear chances, we were much better than the other team.
07:05But they are all different games.
07:09And today for me, the big mistake has been that we tried to react after we conceded two goals.
07:15And in football, most of the time, it's late.
07:18Thanks, everyone.
