Sorry we can wait. now. we can wait. It is four minutes
maybe somebody's working looking for a
car park
I Know
In the next Senegal Squad
Says he will be one hundred percent fit. What is the reality?
I don't know how he can know but I don't know so that's how it is Sadio is
Yeah still in in rehab is that so this is indoor. It was not even on the
No, for any exercises outside so that's a situation a moment and
so
If he's fit earlier, I would be I would be really happy but nobody knows in this moment so
nothing else to say about
They have very important games so or at least one they need I think Senegal needs one point
From two games, is it right?
Not sure I need one point
I think and so that's up there to be qualified for the World Cup so I can imagine it's very
they
Feel the pressure a little bit, but
Yes, we cannot change the situation and we cannot change the, if Sadio is fit. We cannot hide it
Why should we do it so if he's fit. I think we can do nothing to keep him here then
He would go to the to the national team of Senegal. That's clear, but in this moment. I don't know
For one students the students you sighs how do you feel going back to the river you have a little bit of history I
Never played against lotta Melbourne, please oh, maybe that's that's another thing guys so I
Think what I can say, how often did we play there? Did I play there two times? Yeah both times?
Thank you very much, I felt really I lost all the games there so um
Well, I can't say that the performance was always really good so in the terms League final the performance was really good everybody who saw
it I think
Yeah knows that and
Capital One Cup final, City, yeah was
Unlucky in a penalty shoot at the end, so that's how things can happen
But we don't feel bad when we see Wembley or something
It's it's a good place it wonderful Stadium, so and we never played against Tottenham there so it's nothing really
what we're thinking about, it's just
The only thing about the game against Tottenham and not where we play
Never happen in Liverpool
I'm pretty sure now after two years ago and say it will never happen
Laughs but because we concede one goal and it's always one player
Who is then not good enough or whatever that makes for me absolutely and it may never sense for me to be honest
But it's it's like it is and from from
The goals we conceded away, however. I knows three the first day matchday. That's that's so long ago
I can't even really remember
and five against City
And if you then play me in a game
With ten with one man down against City the the defense because I think you talked about the last line
so then it makes no sense at all and
So yes, we know we have to improve improved in the last two games. I said it after last
after (against) Maribor
and already after United that we were much better and much smarter in protection and
to protect our own offensive situations
we have a different game against Tottenham, so we don't have to talk too much about this but
In these two games when it was similar what we had to do
Most important thing is to avoid counter attack, and we did that pretty well as a team
And I said that at Maribor yes, we scored seven goals
But the best thing in the whole game was our counter pressing
it was outstanding and that will good help in each game and when we do this it's always easier for the last line and
so that's what we have to to do in the next few games too
No not so far because we won session and yesterday I gave to buy us a day off it makes sense
We don't have especially the international players don't have a lot of days off so we will start again today had a few
little issues after the games or few players couldn't
have
Couldn't feel part of training anyway so um
It was made sense that we make this day off yesterday
So, but I don't have to need to have a look on this so I know that it of course it helps you
But it's not enough it's not that it it's the only thing we missed in the last few games or whatever yes
it was it was always clear that it can happen at one day and
It's not nice to be then the opponent and that day when we when we really
finish all the situation which we create, and it wasn't this day Maribor and
When we made analyse to be honest of maribor every strong side and you will see this in other games never much closer
when it's played against heavy, but
Top team from Spain. They were really good in defending all that stuff
But we were not really to defend on that day
So that was really good
and we have to take this and with all the things I said before that they have to stay confident because of good reasons and
It makes it easier now of course, but confidence alone again is not enough to
get a result at Tottenham, but it's
Something what can help of course?
Yeah
But no no problem. I was not never in doubt about Milner. No there's not nothing new about this yes
He I'm really happy for him that he's going to perform that well um
like
All the others, thank God
But that's the situation we wanted to have that's the situation we need we need to have we have more
Highest quality players than eleven so we we play now meanwhile
without Nathaniel Clyne, without Sadio Mane, without Adam Lallana, and the best thing is
If we still have more players and we can then we can use
With the first whistle so that's all and yes, I've respect Milly a lot, and it's a very very
important the pitch and off the pitch so and
but no no no problems with that good I
Don't say I don't both never speak about lineup, but it's um Jordan is our skipper
And I thought really it made sense again at I told
Jordan played so far pretty much all the games and the plan of a sensual might be apart from Leicester
and the Carabao Cup not sure but
He had both
International games with England ninety minutes was very happy about this, but
So and then played the next game again against United which is a very very intense game for
Defend defensive midfield player
and so it was up bus clear that we will make one change in this game and
Many red balls in this moment now Jordan, but that's all
Often my place comes of course it takes time to secondly develop, but he
Said oh yes quality that snows no doubt about it everything he needed
Half an hour at Watford round about that. That's it and Watford the first few challenges it looked like
He's not
heavy now
Furniture strong enough whatever for his challenges in the in the league in can be can be difficult and from this moment on it
He was he was in the league, and that's that's most important, and it was a fantastic
job of the of the Scouting Department
It's not that that I didn't know Mo Salah of course everybody knew him knew him since you a puzzle puzzle
But to see the difference
Also sees development in different things and too we all together may head tend to make the judgment is
How can we compare the Italian league with the English Premier League and stuff like this and all the rest is Mo Salah is
fantastic boy
And always it helps if you settle as a person very quickly perhaps you settling as a player
And I didn't I don't think he needed even half an hour to settle in the team so that was for the first day
Fantastic and hopefully and stay fit. What would be very important for us because he's the other one
Okay, Egypt is is qualified meanwhile, but I don't think that I
Give him a lot of rest there
He's the man in Egypt so it's like like Sadio in Senegal so
That's always a I'm always a little bit afraid when they are way
Different pitches long trips long travels and stuff like they sold it, but so far it went well, and hopefully it stays like this
But by the daily turn against my over the fact that the counter pressing and attentive to the standards that
You do look for do you think that the plays of almost?
Remained what what you want for him?
So after all the things we be
May be made our analyze of the last few games
I'm and you saw all the good things we did, but at the end it didn't lead to the result we wanted
I mean you then or not he was
Specific, but when when you asked me?
After game what can we do?
That bitch core stuff like this we cannot change
the
situations we had we only have can have more and
easier, and it could be easier if you win the ball back and
more situations than we did in the last few games so earlier in to counter pressing and
because it's
It keeps you in a much better position on the pitch
It's kind of energy-saving because you don't have to run long distance with the whole
squad nearly
And that's all and so I was very happy about this am I am I one hundred percent sure that we will do it again
Not so far, but I'm open for
The proof because I really think and that's that will be a big key again
Against Tottenham which is a fantastic football team and?
a football playing top team of the league, and so it would have a lot, but we will see
That's night
Who's one of the best strikers in
Delle Ali maybe not this time this stuff ugly season that we know he can produce for Ericsson but
Really hoping from you know top end of the pitch
But but by March when you play against them he even managed to to neutralize. That's right
We played so far well, it's in it, that's a nice football game. I think every support again again looking forward to it. We don't
We don't hesitate both both teams don't hesitate then with any
effort any
Investment stuff like this we are both teams always spot-on wants to do best
so far
Tottenham did a little bit better than we did
Result wise but I'm sure they can play better than they played so far. We can still play better
then we played so far so I think that's really an interesting game and
so far we did well, but that's all nothing else and that's
fantastic
development since since I'm in England if they were already good when I came in I
Think putting I was already a year doubt well. I'm not sure, but it was for sure well
When here then so that was you could already see um what they are what they can achieve in the future so far no
apart from Walker this year um
Nobody left a club of the decisive players
that's a that's a big big job what they did so far and
it will be a big challenge for them in the next few years because
Harry is not only one of the best strikers in Europe
he's one of the best strikers in the world one hundred percent everybody knows that in Delle Ali as well and
Eriksen as well because and not striking about midfielder so they are
In a really good moment
as a club and
We have to we are the challenges when we go there and that's how it is
But they know that it will not be easy game, so good. Let's play
Let's see and what happens
So I'm really looking forward to this game because these are the you don't have a lot of these games where both teams
Are going for everything that's a little bit? That's obvious again city like this
and against Tottenham is like this and that's that's it pretty much and I
Don't have to judge these two
both
Fantastic fantastic strikers, I think the only it's the little total the difference is
That Harry (Kane) is much more a part of the game when he's not scoring so that's it, but I'm pretty sure that
Lukaku can make these steps still so it's a Serb he's pretty much not to defend if we give him the balls
He's not to defend PB avoided just the balls to Lukaku
I would say and that's which must be a key against Harry again as well and
That's that's it and
But you are to concentrate on one player then
Yeah, Delle Ali is everywhere in the box around the box and Erikssen shoots from everywhere or place decisive passes so
or they have
wonderful skills boy with wings
obviously
On a very good way, and so it's it's a good team
you cannot be concentrated only on one play and a few nice examples if you and
Davis is for me a perfect example I
Think especially because Rose was there nobody thought of
Really Davis play that much at the beginning as I saw it he struggled in the 1-1 two
moments, but they
Stayed cool with him and he made big steps
It's a fantastic player
And it was probably before I didn't know him that good before but since his they made big steps
and so if you stay cool if you
stay
Full of trust and faith with players who are convinced about then time can bring big big things, and that's one example
It's okay
I
Don't think I spoke a lot of college
I said here in his press conference because you asked me what I think about it, and I'm to be honest I
Don't know when it happened last time that somebody could
Take something, but didn't take it
because of common sense I don't know so
sky
Thank you III don't know when I heard it last usually you I can get it so I take it
Hope that's how it is. That's how the world looks a little bit in this moment and
So it's a I thought it's a very very
Good decision especially for defense that's number one because it's still difficult
We will do everything from the club side that we can bring our friends on Friday night, right?
Friday night at least back from London. What could be obviously a little bit difficult?
and
but it's very good sign very good sign a lot of these signs because I said a few times and
all the contracts we respect all the contracts and the Premier League or the club's signed but
It's still the players who
Decide how nice the proton ice the thing is how nice the game is and when they aren't when they've never can rest
And it's a problem so but if they cannot now ball rest. We only have one day
Football off in the year, and I think that should be okay for most of the people
They have two rooms
You
