00:00 Well, the second goal helped us a lot.

00:03 I liked it because the first minutes we were talking at half-time they were more aggressive

00:08 than they were, but we made incredible two build-ups with Ruben and Ederson.

00:14 And after we dropped them, they were even more scary.

00:17 After Bernardo and Jack and Bernardo made a good action and Jardim scored the second

00:22 goal.

00:23 That was the key point of the game.

00:25 We were losing and I decided to bring more offensive power in and there we made a mistake.

00:35 That was not according to the game plan.

00:38 We called up the keeper in that moment and then we cut our play and the two-nulls too

00:43 quickly and then it was a tough game, absolutely.

00:46 But the first half, don't forget, I think, exactly how we had to play against them.

00:52 A lot of respect for United for what they do, but we were now our best, especially in

00:57 the second half.

00:59 But the opponents play, you know that when you're losing balls it's because they are

01:05 really good and the manager explained the tactics that they did to beat us.

01:13 But when we win it's because we have done good things too.

01:16 But football is so difficult.

01:20 When you face City, they will go up to press and then to play with Rafa and Maguire over

01:30 the left, that can be giving problems.

01:32 Then you end up only kicking long balls.

01:37 For me, he's better on the right, Harry.

01:40 And especially against teams who are pressing high.

01:43 And second is, you have to step in over that side.

01:47 It was our tactic to step in over Alvarez and get Sufjan higher to get press on their

01:54 building up.

01:55 I think I said many times, we are in the same direction.

01:57 The chairman, the CEO, the support director, the manager and the players.

02:01 We go there.

02:02 Braun, alright, it doesn't matter but we go there.

02:06 And McInnes, of course, and things like Weah.

02:09 And when we lose or we are not going well, we are not here to blame someone or the reason

02:20 why is just, we have to do better.

02:22 What happened?

02:23 The opponent is getting better, we are getting worse, what we have to do.

02:26 Find a solution.

02:27 That is nice.

02:28 To find the way to do it.

02:29 We have done it since day one.
