00:00 After the defeat to Arsenal, did it feel like a major setback at the time,
00:05 and if so, what have you had to do this week to lift the place again,
00:09 or do your best to ensure you get the response you're looking for this weekend?
00:13 After all the time in England I was still 100 per cent sure
00:18 that I understand all the world's 100 per cent right, a setback.
00:21 We lost the game, and it felt like that, definitely.
00:26 People told me after that we only lost Tottenham, before that it was City.
00:34 I didn't feel for a second like that, if you want it felt like we lost in one game, five games,
00:40 but not because of the situation at the table,
00:42 just because we lost the game and we didn't play a particularly good game.
00:46 And that just shows how it goes.
00:50 A few days before that we played in a lot of parts of the game,
00:56 probably the best game of the season, a really good game,
00:58 complete performance against Chelsea, top-class performance.
01:01 Everybody could see the other night how good Chelsea can be, if you let them.
01:07 And they go to Arsenal, and Arsenal played a good game,
01:14 and we had our parts, but not more.
01:18 That's obviously something that's always a challenge for a manager.
01:22 What are you doing? Ignoring, or putting the finger properly in,
01:28 and it's always somewhere in between.
01:31 We don't take these things lightly and think, "It can happen, at Arsenal you can lose."
01:36 We want to perform better than we did, and that's what we try and we want,
01:40 and we have to show reaction, that's actually the only good thing about it,
01:44 that you can react, and that's what we have to do, definitely, 100 per cent.
01:49 So many things, especially against the ball, were not even close to our standards.
01:54 People might say we didn't finish shots on target, which is 100 per cent true,
02:00 but it all comes with the way we defend,
02:04 and that's why that was the main point we were talking about,
02:09 and that's exactly what we have to do much better,
02:14 and if we do that, we will be better, and that's the first step.
