Jürgen, first of all, how pleased are you with that performance and result,
and overall this week with the response after the Merseyside derby?
Good, a tough week obviously - a lot of games, a lot of minutes, tough opponents,
hard-fighting opponents. [We] won the two [matches] after the Merseyside derby,
so really pleased with that obviously. That’s it.
Obviously the controversial moment in the first half was the Sheffield United penalty,
I don't know if you've had a chance to see it again - if so, what was your view?
No foul. So...
It’s now the sixth [Premier League] game of the season,
in three of them we were on the wrong end of these kind of decisions.
It’s not about we want to have any advantage -
we just don’t want to have any disadvantage, how you can imagine.
That’s the situation now today.
We were really good in the start of the game [and] the penalty we conceded
gave Sheffield a proper boost.
Until then, they couldn’t really get us, to be honest.
But with all the quality they have and the problems they caused us,
it was good until then.
Then we lost a bit of patience, did not do exactly what we wanted to do.
[We] scored anyway a goal in the best attack actually,
when the formation was in the best place and all this stuff.
Went in at half-time, adjusted a few things, started really well in the second half
and scored a second goal; scored another one which was,
I don’t know anymore offside or not.
Mo had this incredible chance, super play of him.
We didn’t score so the game stayed open and they had their moments,
but we defended well with a big heart. And so I liked it.
Hi, Jürgen, can I just ask you about the change of formation tonight,
was that a way of getting Jota and the normal front three in the same team
and how did you think it worked?
Good in a lot of moments.
It was not so much about getting Diogo on the pitch,
because he can play a lot of positions in our actual formation, our usual formation.
It was like, "How can we start? How can we change?
"How can we do all the stuff which is important in a game?
"How can we cause them problems?"
Sheffield United has a big advantage obviously
that they prepare a full week for our game.
They can do 12 different set-pieces, to train them during the week;
we have recovery sessions.
So we thought with a slight change
we could at least give them some problems as well, which we did actually.
The very first ball was an incredible ball,
and we didn’t play that ball anymore after that, unfortunately -
when Sadio was through and Mo was nearly there.
The idea was just not to change too much for us, because it’s only moments.
Of course, defending-wise it’s completely different. Offensively, it’s not that different.
But it gives us an extra option. It brought Mo in a different position,
where I have to say he played an incredible game.
Mo and Sadio didn’t score but played outstanding.
Sadio was in the one-on-one situations pretty much undefendable.
Mo between the lines - sensational. Super chance.
And the other two boys scored and played good as well,
so that helps obviously.
You got Alisson back today, a bit earlier than expected, how much of a bonus is that?
Look, Adrian did really well again in that moment,
but getting Ali back is of course a pretty, pretty big boost for all of us.
It was nearly three weeks he was out, I think,
and it feels like we had 50 games between now and then!
I was really happy when he gave the green light and said,
"Yes, I am ready", because it was his decision.
I cannot make the decision for him and tell him,
"Do you still feel pain or too much pain when you bounce on the ground or whatever?"
So it was his decision and he said thumbs-up,
and so we were happy.
Jürgen, on Jota, he's already made a decent impact...
Good player, yeah?
Yeah, looks a good player, can you just talk about what he's brought to the team
and how pleased you've been with how he's settled in?
Oh, it's not so much what he's brought - he's a good player, that's why we signed him.
I said it only a few minutes ago when I was speaking with my coaches that it is so easy -
he is such a likeable person and so it is so easy to like him.
That makes everything easier.
Then the player he is: he is quick, he has the physicality, he is strong,
he is good in the air, he is good on the ground... A lot of good things.
He has exactly the quality we need, so that helps a lot.
Tonight was a game where all four played up front together
and you know how good Shaqiri was in Amsterdam and he is close.
Taki is very close, and so all these things help, of course.
This is the area where we have in the moment options, and long may it stay like this.
In midfield, we had to make the decision: do we push the same midfield through again?
How can we change then, and all these kind of things.
We thought it was better to change the system before the game
and go back to the [usual] system in the game when we have to change.
That’s why we decided for tonight [to change formation].
Yes, Diogo scored a super goal and was really involved in the game.
He can be much better, 100 per cent, and that’s good news.
Just on that point about Jota, you've always said new players coming into your team
need a bit of time to adjust, to get to know your style,
your way of working. Given that he's already scored two goals
and is having an influence, in these circumstances with so many games,
has the way he's adjusted so quickly taken you by surprise?
He is still adapting. In the moment, a lot of things we do are not natural to him,
but that’s only because Wolves play different -
but a lot of things he did for Wolves are exactly what we want him to do.
Yes, that he is that close already is just a sign of how good a player he is.
As I said, if he stays fit, he’s 23 and the future is bright, let me say it like this.
We will need his quality and I am really happy that he settled nicely so far.
