00:00 Yes, I think we needed this result.
00:10 It wasn't a great performance.
00:13 Of course, we're crazy to lead because it's a team that's full of confidence.
00:19 Very, very, very, very strong team.
00:24 They are doing fantastic, you know, on the Championship.
00:27 I think them and of course, later they are on the top of the table.
00:31 And of course, it was tough for us, even when you concede after a few minutes.
00:36 But I think the character that we show after this situation, I think
00:43 I think it's a thing to learn from the team.
00:46 And of course, on the end, so happy because I think we avoid the extra time
00:51 and we scored on the end and we are on the quarter-final.
00:56 I think was our objective because it's always tough when you lose a final Sunday
01:02 in extra time and then it's 72 hours or less to try to recover.
01:09 I think it was always difficult.
01:10 But I think today, I think the effort was massive again and to say thank you to
01:15 the players because I think they made a fantastic effort.
01:20 Another positive contribution from Kalle Dahlgren.
01:23 Did he show again and has he shown a lot recently?
01:26 Just by the number of years he's played in the NBA?
01:29 Of course, he's an important player and that is no doubt.
01:35 You know, and we were talking from the beginning of the season that the
01:39 contribution is fantastic for the team.
01:43 So happy for him.
01:44 I said, OK, you become top scorer, be careful.
01:47 No, no, I scored too much.
01:49 But I think, but I think it's yes, the effort is there and the quality is there.
01:53 Thank you.
01:54 Mauricio, the team showed something about their character tonight.
01:58 You know, it's extra time on Saturday, on Sunday.
02:02 Their personality was questioned on part of extra time.
02:06 Tonight they won it in the last minute.
02:08 Who questioned?
02:09 A lot of people questioned their mentality.
02:12 Their mentality?
02:13 The extra time.
02:14 The Gary Neville thing, the bubble jobs.
02:16 Yes, it's like Gary, my friend, what you did, because his opinion now is
02:26 like always he's a runner and a runner and a runner.
02:28 Come on.
02:29 That was, yes, of course, I cannot be agree about that.
02:32 With all my love to Gary, I think it's not fair to put this, you know,
02:39 use this type of word in a team that is so brave and in a club that is
02:45 always show that fight for big things.
02:49 Yes, what we can do now only with this type of performance show that
02:56 we are brave, that we can win games.
02:58 And of course, nothing to say.
03:01 It's only to keep moving.
03:03 It's not important for the team.
03:07 It's not important for us because we know how we are.
03:14 And who we are and how we behave and in the way that we behave and
03:20 why we lose the game again.
03:22 Again, Liverpool has nothing to do with this.
03:26 It's because all different things that you need to accept all the opinion.
03:32 But that is not for us a thing to talk.
03:38 We know that we are brave, that we are working really hard.
03:43 And look, if people want to be around and around and around of this comment,
03:49 for us it's not important comment.
03:52 It's only, it says, sorry, you were wrong.
03:55 But look, nothing to say.
03:57 It's to take his opinion and that's it and move on.
04:00 Okay, we're going to do two more and that's it for this evening.
04:02 Neil?
04:03 In contrast to what Jerry Neville said, I would argue that in the
04:10 Aston Villa replay and the Manchester City game, that Gusto, De Sassi,
04:16 Colwell, Caicedo, Fernandes and Jackson all had their best game of the season,
04:21 which would suggest improvement.
04:23 So I think Gary Neville should be called out for talking bollocks
04:28 with the team first, much more.
04:30 But in that area of discussion, the fact is that there are
04:39 too many players it seems of the same age needing development.
04:45 And if they don't play, they don't develop.
04:48 And I felt sorry tonight for Mudrick and Maduaka because they don't match Sassi.
04:55 They don't match fit. They don't match prepared.
04:58 Have you got too many players of the same age and the same need
05:03 for development and you just can't do it with everyone?
05:06 Yes, we need time.
05:08 I think we need time and we need, you know, it's a good question
05:16 because yes, they are young and they need to play if they want to evolve
05:21 and be ready to play.
05:25 But it's true that in the same competition, we need to compete
05:29 and win games.
05:30 And then it's the competition in the training ground with another player.
05:33 You know, we have Cole Palmer, we have Brian Sterling, we have Kunkud
05:39 and now Isinju, but we had Brocha, we had Nico Jackson.
05:43 I think it's not a place to play with six, seven offensive players
05:48 because you need to provide a good balance.
05:52 Yeah, but that is a good point.
05:55 Fair enough.
05:56 Yes, we need to, of course, to work always for the future
06:01 to try, you know, to provide the balance to the squad
06:07 and see if this young player can be all together
06:11 or maybe to have a different profile of player on the squad.
06:14 OK, we're going to leave it there.
06:15 Thank you, everybody.
06:16 Thank you.
06:17 Thank you.
