Ralph, or did you make of that?
Well, I think we play, they're
good at least decent. If not Goods first half,
we were competitive in the first half,
obviously difficult to consider an early goal.
We shouldn't allow the cross to come in. We were three against
one in that, in that moment, on our right on our right back
side. But there we did, then we came back. Scored a brilliant
goal ourselves. We had our moments of the first half
on the counter attack in transitional moments.
Then conceded another
to easy goal and then the second half
From the very moment that's called the third one. It was
difficult. Very difficult game against the best team in
the world in possession of the ball. If you keep chasing
the balls, you can see probably for the fifth or if not even
a sixth goal.
We consider the fourth one in the last minute of the game.
But in the end it was a difficult difficult day that
showed
that we still have some steps to go in order to close that Gap.
Particularly, in that first half. How much did you feel
the formation? Your Chosen.
And the Personnel
was? Okay.
Yes, it was working. I mean, for us, it was clear. If you
want to have a chance to go to get something out of this game.
We have to do a lot of running. A lot of
even - runs, but
you have to be in a Sprint and attacking and hunting mode
mode, and we did that in the first half for the players,
tried everything. But
as I said, when we consider the third goal
that killed us off in the end.
What changed in the second half?
Did they turn up the power? Or did you fall away or was it
both?
Well, as I said, it's difficult,
if we attack them very high. There's a lot of.
Yeah, - running that would eat that. You need to do.
So we decided to attack them more in a mid block
and we did that even until we scored the third goal. But
the third goal was just a brilliantly taken free kick.
I watched it again. Now
in the locker room. It was almost impossible to defend
that.
How concerned are you about the attempts on? Go
4:36 in there? In the whole game, second half 14 to them,
none to you. Yeah, as I said here, the second half for there
were the better team. They show it what kind of quality they
have.
And we were struggling in that second half,
especially after they still had scored the third one.
Oh, so you're missing key players as well. In terms of
Firepower today. When do you think you be able to call upon
the likes of Cavani and Ronaldo? Once again,
I don't know.
I was hoping to have them available for this game, but
they weren't so I don't know. We will we will have to wait
and see. We have two important games coming up at home against
pros and against Atletico.
So we have to put our full focus on that this kind perhaps
illustrate the gulf between where Manchester United are
right now and Manchester City.
Well, yes, in the second half he did. But as I said in
the first half, it was a competitive game. We could have
also scored one or two more goals in the first half, but
obviously, everybody knows how good they are. They are
one of the top teams in the world. And yeah, there is a gap
between the two clubs right now and then the second half, we
became even more obvious.
Obviously this
a number of games ago, but potentially how damaging could
this be for your fight for the top four?
Yeah, we are fully aware that we need to win games.
This was one of the most difficult ones that we have to
play. But as I said now it's about
accepting our although it's difficult accepting that there
were the better team today and now look for look forward to
and ahead of to the next games
and make sure that we that we win. That especially the next
two home games are essential for us and we will do
everything to win those two games at home and she time
rough, do you
