Ruff. Congratulations, you spoke pre-match about Jekyll
and Hyde performances of late. So what was your appraisal of
tonight or overall?
I think first half was mr. Hyde. Second half, dr. Jekyll
for a change. It was different today in the last three games.
We
were very good in the first half this time. It was in
the second half that far better half.
But in the end, it was important to get the three
points against an in-form team. I mean, it's not so easy to
play against a team, like Brighton, very possession,
based with full of confidence.
And yeah, we had to take more risk in the second half to
attack them in. Hi.
Positions to attack them, even with our Wingers
on the center back positions and
it paid off. We not only scored the goal but also have the red
card on dunk
with a brilliant situation from Antonia longer where he
intercepted and yeah, we had more turnovers in the second
half and obviously after the red card,
we should have taken the game home much earlier should have
been 34 new
after 75 minutes.
But again,
I think there is a little bit of a lack of a shrewdness in
front of goal
and are very much. I hope that in the next couple of weeks, we
take more advantage of out of those opportunities that we
had. Again today. Was that the gist of your message to
the players at halftime
because the way they started that second half
was completely different to the first half.
Yes, but we had two. I mean
we realized that we
had far too often possession of the ball and we could
only in very few situations Intercept in the first half and
for us it was clear. It was either. Should we change
formation for example, to a Pack 3, which is We have not
played that often since I arrived
and we decided to stick to the 4-2-3-1 and take more risk.
Just telling our wing us to attack the saddlebags on
the ball side, and our fullbacks to jump high to there to there for
banks. And again, it paid off in the first 10 minutes. We had
a lot of more success moments.
And this, of course, raised our level of confidence and
the crowd were all of a sudden,
not moaning, but behind the team. And I can understand
the crowd because
at home, Against dementia with Manchester United against
Brighton. If they have
yeah, it feels like 60% possession of the ball.
This is not what they want to see,
how grateful we are, to debit our higher tonight. For his
first part of the first half, sage and one in particular from
yeah, Komodo. Yes, I mean that's
has been the case in the last couple of
weeks in the last ten, twelve games
quite a few times,
brilliant, safe after the header from motor.
But again, that's why we have one of the Best goalkeepers in
the world here at Manchester United. You lost the run before
the kickoff. What happened to bring us up to speed if you
would
While on the way from the hotel after dinner, and after
the team meeting, he felt uncomfortable, he had some
stomach problems, and we were hoping to be able
to get rid of it and to get it better with some medication.
But in the end, he just didn't feel well. And that's why we,
then decided to play Victor Lindelof, instead in terms,
finally, if kick starting your season. We spoke about this
before the game. How significant does this
performance? And this result more over tonight? Feel
very important after especially, After the last
three games with three drawers, and in any of those games,
being one allow up. This was highly important for us, and
now,
another very intense game coming up on Sunday at Leeds,
high speed football. Probably four, ninety five minutes,
and it's important that we recover
and then hopefully be
in form and ready for that game at Leeds United at elland Road
on Sunday. Ralph Lauren tonight. Thank you. Thank you.
