00:00Great result, great performance in midweek in Milan,
00:03how important was that, not just to get you off to a good start in the Champions League,
00:07but to bounce back from the defeat against Nottingham Forest,
00:10and also was that evidence of the players getting to know more
00:14of what you want and expect from them?
00:18That evidence I think they've showed for many games,
00:21except for this one game which you just mentioned,
00:23Nottingham Forest, but in all pre-season and all the games we played in the season till now,
00:28I think they showed their quality and how well we can play.
00:33For me it was not only about bouncing back after the loss against Nottingham Forest,
00:37it was also the reason that the last two years how we performed in Europe.
00:44We had some difficulties in the Champions League two years ago,
00:48and last season when Atalanta came it was also a difficult moment,
00:52so I think we had a point to prove and the standards were set really high
00:56by so many Liverpool teams, but also by a few that are still playing in this team,
01:01and we have to try to get back to those standards in this season,
01:06and we made a good step against AC Milan,
01:09I think if you can play in away games, in San Siro's first game.
01:14And then, not the result, but the way we played,
01:17that shows that we are a very difficult team to beat,
01:22but we can also play really good football, dominating football,
01:26and in another stadium than Anfield.
