00:00 If we have our normal post-match press conference in Africa,
00:12 we'll follow with the BNP for Boxing Day.
00:15 Hi Jürgen, great game that, between two brilliant teams,
00:20 have we seen two teams there who are serious title challengers?
00:27 Ah, I saw two top teams, that's what I saw.
00:30 What does that say about City, Tottenham, Essenwil?
00:38 Nothing. Top teams as well, and others as well,
00:42 maybe had a little bit lesser points, but they are there as well.
00:45 I saw just two really good football teams, a really good game, super intense.
00:53 Top, top, top moments for us.
00:57 Could have won, maybe should have won,
01:00 in all the news I had so far I forgot completely the Trans Crossbar.
01:06 So that's why I said, "I'm not sure, maybe they could have,
01:09 "but with that chance we should have won the game."
01:12 So I only realised that when I had the radio interview.
01:16 Yeah, besides that, just a better start, we came back super in the game,
01:22 and Phil was outstanding tonight, I think everybody felt it,
01:25 it was brutal, it was really nice to see what we can do all together.
01:31 And the reaction to the one-ern was fantastic,
01:34 we were super intense, nearly too intense,
01:39 we tried massively to influence from outside,
01:43 we have to calm down in moments, we have to mix it up a little bit better,
01:48 so we did, created really good moments with that.
01:51 Scored a wonderful goal, maybe the best pass I saw in my life,
01:56 I saw a few.
01:58 Second half we started extremely well.
02:07 I'm not sure if it's directly from First Second,
02:09 but then we had them where we wanted to have them,
02:12 and our high press was absolutely exceptional.
02:15 They lost it there a little bit,
02:17 but we should have created better chances with the high ball wins we had there.
02:22 That's definitely something we should improve,
02:26 if we have similar situations again.
02:29 Then we have that massive chance from Trent,
02:34 and then we were not that much in control anymore,
02:39 and that's obviously the moment when they are directly back again in the game.
02:42 They are really good, and really physically strong, I have to say,
02:46 and they are in four positions, wow.
02:48 It's a good football team.
02:50 Thank God we are as well, that's why it's 1-1.
02:52 Jürgen, what did you make of the incident in the first half?
02:57 Martin Edgar looked as though he was playing basketball,
03:00 and it didn't look as though he went to the AR,
03:03 it seemed like handball, what did you make of it?
03:06 I didn't see it in the game, I saw it after the game,
03:09 and I think we all agree, of course handball,
03:12 I always wait until Mr Dermott explains to me the next day what's really the case.
03:18 He will find a way to explain to me that it was not handball.
03:21 I don't know, that's for me a clear handball.
03:24 I have no idea if that would have influenced the result or not,
03:27 I don't even know exactly when it was,
03:28 because I only saw it after the game and not in the game.
03:31 And...yeah, that's it.
03:35 Are you surprised at the challenge from Saka on Kostas?
03:41 I was too close to really see what happened, to be 100 per cent honest.
03:46 The problem I had in that moment was I thought, "OK, I'm fine,"
03:49 so I was just assuming that Kostas is fine as well,
03:53 and he's actually the opposite of fine.
03:55 He broke his collarbone, at least.
03:57 That's really bad for us.
04:00 Yeah, I cannot say anything about that.
04:04 You have to judge that, not me. I don't know.
04:07 Jürgen, I wanted to ask you about Blue Truth,
04:10 if you had the chance to talk to him, does he have an injury?
04:15 I hope not, he has pain, it was knee-on-knee.
04:18 In that moment we wanted to change twice, and then Blue Truth was down,
04:25 and we actually first wanted to wait, maybe Blue Truth has come off,
04:29 but then we decided we would change all three,
04:31 because we don't have to wait how Blue Truth is, and that's what we did then.
04:35 So, Lucio told me, little pain, physios were not too concerned,
04:43 but you never know, and we play in three days,
04:45 you never know how quick the turnaround is, so we have to see.
04:49 Any more?
