00:00 In case anyone's not aware, we're also doing our Liverpool preview,
00:03 but I'll let you know when we start that.
00:06 OK, when you're ready.
00:12 Good evening, Nuno.
00:14 Your thoughts on the performance and also the result?
00:17 I think it was a good performance, I think we played good,
00:20 much better than the previous game, so improvement from that,
00:23 more compact, solid, and we played really good football.
00:26 Good offensive football, creating chances.
00:31 It's frustrating to lose it in the end,
00:35 but I think we played good.
00:39 Football is cruel sometimes, and today we are on that side.
00:42 Were you frustrated at all by the VAR decision for United's goal?
00:46 I'm not sure about it, I didn't see clearly the images.
00:50 I was speaking with the players, they said there's a block and a possible offside,
00:57 so they have to check it.
00:59 But we had so many issues during this period with the VAR and referees
01:04 that they tried to forget about it and move forward.
01:07 Thank you.
01:09 When you came in, you beat Manchester United,
01:15 that was part of a period where you won games.
01:20 You're not winning as many games now,
01:22 do you feel you've got more of an idea of what you can do with your squad
01:29 to try and get you away from the bottom of the league,
01:32 which is clearly the most important thing?
01:34 Yeah, of course we have a clear idea.
01:37 We still have to recover some players, but we are playing good,
01:41 we have to improve on details, that's still punishing us.
01:46 But then you have to work, and that's what we're going to do tomorrow and the day after,
01:51 to face the next game, because the improvement is clear.
01:58 As a team, we are playing good, but the results are not coming.
02:02 So we have to work harder, play better, be more clinical,
02:08 improve on details, set-pieces, all these things that we are aware of.
02:14 So we are clear on what we have to do.
02:17 Do you feel there's a confidence issue?
02:21 Sorry?
02:22 Do you feel there's a confidence issue?
02:24 With the team?
02:25 No, I don't think so.
02:27 It's football, it's football.
02:29 It's fine margins, details.
02:32 We could be easily talking about a different result
02:36 because we made enough to do it.
02:39 Nuno, is there a frustration that the winner came from a set-piece?
02:44 You mentioned before that you are trying to work on it.
02:48 Yeah, it's a frustration to lose this way, in the final minute of the game,
02:53 after all the effort that we did.
02:55 This is the main frustration and disappointment of letting our fans not enjoy today,
03:03 because they were so supportive, so noisy.
03:08 We have to thank them.
03:09 And it's a joy to play here, and we're going to play here in two days' time,
03:13 so we have to move forward and go.
03:15 Nuno, you thought Mateo Lallaca was deciding who made some important saves,
03:21 what did you make of his performance?
03:23 I think he played good, he was stable, helped us, made some good saves.
03:31 He did a good job.
03:33 Nuno, Eric Ten Haag just said you targeted Bruno Fernandes,
03:39 was there anything in that?
03:41 No, I don't think so.
03:43 I don't think so, no.
03:45 Other than the fact he's a good player?
03:47 Sorry?
03:48 Other than the fact he's a good player?
03:50 He's a very good player.
03:52 Prior to the league, he was in between the two clubs.
03:54 Yeah, and today was the case again.
03:56 He's a good player, he needs to be controlled,
03:58 and I think Jadon Danilo did that, but in a fair way.
04:02 Not ever causing any problems or trying to injure or anything.
04:10 I didn't see what Eric saw.
04:14 It's OK.
04:16 Thank you.
