00:00 Good evening guys, hope we're all good. We will start with some questions for the open
00:17 section and then we'll set an embargo towards the end for 10.30 on Sunday evening. We'll
00:20 do consecutive translation rather than simultaneous, so you can ask your questions in English,
00:24 and Kevin will translate. So, where to start? Jamie?
00:31 I'm going to start with the second question, which is easier.
00:38 I'm going to start with the second, which is easier.
00:45 It's difficult for Jack to be in condition, but I'm not a doctor and it would be difficult
00:52 to explain it well.
00:59 It's difficult for Jack to be in condition, but I'm not a doctor and it would be difficult
01:11 to explain it well.
01:20 It's good that two similar situations have happened between us and Sheffield.
01:30 It's good that two similar situations have happened between us and Sheffield.
01:35 It's good that two similar situations have happened between us and Sheffield.
01:40 It's good that two similar situations have happened between us and Sheffield.
01:46 It's good that two similar situations have happened between us and Sheffield.
01:53 It's good that two similar situations have happened between us and Sheffield.
02:00 It's good that two similar situations have happened between us and Sheffield.
02:07 It's good that two similar situations have happened between us and Sheffield.
02:14 It's good that two similar situations have happened between us and Sheffield.
02:20 It's good that two similar situations have happened between us and Sheffield.
02:26 It's good that two similar situations have happened between us and Sheffield.
02:33 It's good that two similar situations have happened between us and Sheffield.
02:40 It's good that two similar situations have happened between us and Sheffield.
02:46 It's good that two similar situations have happened between us and Sheffield.
02:52 It's good that two similar situations have happened between us and Sheffield.
02:59 It's good that two similar situations have happened between us and Sheffield.
03:06 It's good that two similar situations have happened between us and Sheffield.
03:13 It's good that two similar situations have happened between us and Sheffield.
03:20 It's good that two similar situations have happened between us and Sheffield.
03:27 It's good that two similar situations have happened between us and Sheffield.
03:34 It's good that two similar situations have happened between us and Sheffield.
03:41 It's good that two similar situations have happened between us and Sheffield.
03:48 It's good that two similar situations have happened between us and Sheffield.
03:55 It's good that two similar situations have happened between us and Sheffield.
04:02 It's good that two similar situations have happened between us and Sheffield.
04:09 It's good that two similar situations have happened between us and Sheffield.
04:16 It's good that two similar situations have happened between us and Sheffield.
04:23 It's good that two similar situations have happened between us and Sheffield.
04:30 The team wasn't good. The ball wasn't fresh, it wasn't useful.
04:35 The opponent kept the ball for a long time and made us drop a lot.
04:40 So it's not an easy game for anyone.
04:43 But for a number 9 of these characteristics, it's more than enough.
04:46 It's difficult to find the moment to participate.
04:48 In fact, in the break I've said it, it's not an easy game for a forward of your characteristics.
04:54 You can not make a good game, but you can help us with the goal.
04:58 And look, he didn't score one, he scored three.
05:02 In respect to the first question, today in the first half none of the team played well.
05:07 We didn't find that freshness in our play.
05:10 Our opponents kept the ball well and that made it difficult for us.
05:12 So it would have been difficult for any number 9 in that game,
05:15 particularly with the characteristics that Erling has.
05:18 I said to him in the half-time break, this is not an easy game for us,
05:22 particularly with the type of player you are, but you can still help us by scoring.
05:25 And he didn't just score one, he scored three.
05:28 Sam.
05:51 Normally, the context absorbs any player as good as he can be.
06:01 Those who play inside, if there is more room.
06:05 They have characteristics of orienting the game more towards the goal than towards the game itself.
06:11 So if the team is not giving that amount of passes that bring them closer,
06:17 it is still more difficult for them.
06:20 Julian doesn't lack the ability to attack, he is always ready.
06:27 And Erling too.
06:29 So I think it affects the overall character of that type of player.
06:38 First of all, the question was, congratulations on the victory.
06:41 How much is the team affected by when you play both Alvarez and Erling Haaland on the pitch?
06:48 And does it sometimes take something away from the team?
06:52 And the answer was, it's normal.
06:54 Players are absorbed by the context of the game.
06:57 Players that tend to play inside more suffer more from this.
07:01 Players that look to score goals are affected when the team aren't able to get passes to them.
07:06 But both of them have conditions, and Alvarez has conditions to play on the inside as well.
07:12 So I think, and Erling as well, I think what affected us today was the overall performance of the team,
07:17 and that had an impact on those two players.
07:19 We'll do Simon and Simon before the embargo.
07:22 Two wins in two games as a Premier League manager.
07:27 Have you enjoyed the experience?
07:29 Or will you be happy to step back and become Pep's assistant?
07:34 I don't know if that's the right question, but two wins in two games.
07:37 Have you enjoyed that role of managing the team?
07:40 Or are you hoping to be back with Pep?
07:42 I want to be with Pep.
07:44 I want to be with Pep.
07:46 Pep has been very present today, and again throughout the game.
07:50 We've been talking to him before the game, during the game, and even afterwards.
07:56 Like the other time, Pep is always present.
08:00 I'm happy that the team has kept winning, but not more than in other conditions.
08:09 It's exactly the same.
08:11 I've missed him. I've missed him.
08:15 I want Pep here.
08:17 Although he was present with us today, he was always talking to us.
08:20 He spoke to us before, during, and after the game.
08:23 Just like last time.
08:25 Obviously I'm delighted that the team have continued to win,
08:28 but not in these particular circumstances.
08:30 We need him here, and I miss him.
08:33 Two questions.
08:36 On Pep, on the touchline, he's so expressive, and he's always talking and saying things.
08:45 What's he like when he's getting messages to you, and you're tempted to just ignore him for a bit?
08:52 And also with Haaland, he's got so many goals last season.
08:56 I think most people thought that he can't get to that level again,
09:00 but he's got the same amount that he got in his first four games last season.
09:04 Can he get to that level?
09:07 Yes, two questions.
09:08 First, when we see Pep on the touchline, he's so excited,
09:12 he's talking to the players, talking to the players.
09:15 What's he like when he's talking on the phone,
09:17 and you're tempted to just ignore him for a bit?
09:20 No, not at all.
09:22 He's very reflective.
09:24 No, no, no. Very reflective.
09:26 When you're not experiencing the situation in person,
09:29 it's even easier to be reflective.
09:33 We discuss things like when we're on the bench,
09:36 we debate, looking for what we think is best.
09:40 But we keep debating amongst ourselves,
09:44 looking for something in common,
09:46 because Pep makes everyone around him very participative.
09:50 No, so this is the answer to the first question.
09:52 No, he's very reflective and he reacts to what's happening,
09:56 and even more so now that he's stepping away from things.
09:58 What we do is we comment on how the game's going,
10:01 we debate in the same way we would if he was here in person,
10:04 and we look for a way to find together that way of moving on
10:09 and finding a way during the game.
10:12 And the second question was about Elling Harland.
10:15 Obviously, he scored a lot of goals last season.
10:18 He was a phenomenon, he couldn't have scored more.
10:21 At this point, he's scored the same number of goals
10:24 after his fourth game.
10:26 Do you think he can reach the same level as last season?
10:30 As far as the number of goals,
10:33 this kid was born scoring goals, I think.
10:37 He'll die scoring goals.
10:40 I don't think it'll surprise us that he'll get there.
10:45 But it wouldn't be a problem if he didn't get to that level.
10:48 Today, he's the one who scored the first goal, right?
10:52 Then he scored another deep one,
10:55 I don't remember who, but he ended up scoring a goal.
10:58 It was a goal he came down to pick up.
11:00 So, in the end, he's also being important in other actions
11:04 that aren't just about scoring goals.
11:06 It wouldn't be fair to recognise Elling,
11:08 exclusively in his numbers.
11:10 If there's something that I think,
11:12 not just now, but before,
11:15 I admired his intelligence more than his numbers,
11:18 since I met him in Salzburg.
11:22 This guy was born scoring goals,
11:25 and he'll go through his whole life scoring goals.
11:27 It'll be no surprise if he manages to get those same figures as last time.
11:31 But it doesn't matter if he doesn't.
11:33 Today, he's great at providing play for other players.
11:37 I think he gave one assist,
11:39 also he put a goal through to a player at a certain point,
11:42 I can't remember who that was.
11:44 He has this importance to other players.
11:46 It's not just about scoring goals.
11:48 I'm more impressed by other figures as well,
11:51 not just how he ends up on the scoring charts.
11:54 He's someone I admired from before as well.
11:57 I'd always looked at his intelligence as well as his goal-scoring stats.
12:02 Guys, we'll set an embargo for 10.30 on Sunday evening.
