Jürgen, congratulations, how does it feel
to be in your third Champions League semi-final with Liverpool?
It's great, absolutely great.
It never happened that I take something like this for granted. I'm really, really happy.
That's it, pretty much. I said it now a couple of times:
I know we will talk about the game and the things that happened,
the goals we conceded and all of these kind of things,
but on a day when I'm not over the moon
about qualifying for the Champions League semi-finals, then something is really wrong -
maybe it would be the right time just to quit. So, it's all good.
You won't have been able to analyse them yet,
but I imagine you seen the Villarreal game last night,
how are you feeling about the prospect of facing them?
Tough, tough, tough.
Both games [against Bayern Munich], they deserved to get through.
I didn't analyse them because you watch the game
and you try to figure out, both teams with real quality.
And Villarreal has probably the most successful cup-competition manager
in world football, so he knows what he is doing.
And the team is really strong. Two different approaches away and home -
it's clear that they defended at Munich even more than they did at Villarreal.
It will be difficult.
But it's the semi-finals of the Champions League -
if it wouldn't be difficult then something would be really wrong.
I love it, see you...
Oh, no.
What did you think about Benfica's fightback?
Great. Very strong, really good, but, of course - and I think you see it as well -
it was about us in this moment, as well. It was difficult.
I made seven changes, that's one thing - the last line never played together like this.
I decided that yesterday, so you have 15-20 minutes to try to put it right,
and the majority of the time they did really well.
I liked it, I liked it a lot. I liked the way we played football,
the only problem was, when we lost the ball, our protection was obviously not perfect.
And the thing with defending in a Champions League quarter-final is, it is about details.
I didn't see the offside situations back, but it's part of defending to put the opponent offside.
Tonight that didn't work out too well, we have to admit,
but that's my fault because I made seven changes.
The next problem that we had is we are 3-1 up, on aggregate 6-2,
it's an incredibly busy period and some of the boys didn't play 90 minutes for a while,
so that's then the next step.
They are human beings, we are like this, you think, "OK... job done" -
and Benfica was still on fire, and I respect that a lot.
They scored really good goals; it's not that easy against us,
it should not be that easy as it was tonight, but Benfica deserved the three goals.
That's how it is and, of course, we could have scored more, that's clear in other situations,
but I'm really happy about it.
I know about challenges in football games which you face constantly,
and tonight it was after 3-1, everyone thought - me included -
"That's it," and Benfica thought, "Let's give it a try."
I couldn't respect that more.
We missed Virgil?
No, we played with a new back four and missed the boys of the back four, if you want.
He's not injured.
Diogo got a knock in the first half;
about Mo's knock I don't know, nobody told me yet.
I spoke to two physios and nobody told me Mo has a problem.
So, for the moment, everybody should be fine.
