00:00We'll start with Phil when you're when you're ready Phil
00:11Is that a tale of what could have been given me, you know the chances that you were could maybe should have taken
00:19Good evening. Of course, we are we have to be really an app with the result
00:23It is the first thing that and is the feeling that we have we all share in our dressing room
00:29And happy the result of course looking for the performance and the way the players they
00:34They stuck with the plan. They executed really well the plan and then they perform really performance wise was a
00:41very good one and
00:42quest looking for the chances that we did create throughout the game and
00:47Comparing with the with city, of course, we deserve more from from the game and but that's football
00:52Of course, we have to keep working is a process
00:55For the next time we have this type of chances in a game like this one
00:59for us to be able to score more and to be able to get a different result coming here at the ad and
01:03score twice and to have probably more for clear chances to score is not easy to achieve and we did it and
01:11The bit difficult the first ten minutes of the game the way city started strong wasn't a bit difficult for us to adjust
01:17After that moment and the first chance we created with Adam when we won with the Edison
01:21The game changed a little bit not in terms of control, of course city at the control of the game
01:26We defend a little bit deeper than normal
01:29we like to do it and
01:30was the plan to even if you don't have
01:32That plan city has the capacity to push you back and we we did we change the position of Alex and Adam
01:38because we wanted to explore some things in the in the way they set up themselves when they are in positional attack and we did
01:44It and after that moment, of course, we started to control it a bit better
01:48More more possession from them as normal a little bit deeper as I said before
01:53But we are always able to to make some dangerous counter-attacks and to create super team in that moments
01:58And it is of course, we first chance without them. They had one good chance with the
02:03Ingrid Allen before our our chance to after the chance with Adam who scored one nil and after straightaway
02:09We had the chance to score the two nil and and to have even bigger impact on on the game
02:14And first for us after comes equalizing in a deflection in a second action of defensive corner for us and I
02:23Think we are really more punished by the way
02:25The way you started second half really and concede the goal the first minute and the way we did it
02:30because we adjust some positions in the in the off time about the position of our two midfielders because I
02:37Believe that we are too deep in some moments with our two midfielders and the beginning of the second half
02:41You can see the goal in the same way
02:43This is the things that we clearly have to improve and to learn but overall and looking for all the picture, of course
02:49Proud of the way you play the way we are brave the way we we did it
02:53But we have to be really an app with ourselves about the result
03:01Once the sort of initial
03:04Frustration sort of dies down, you know
03:06So so very rare to see a team created that many outstanding chances here. Yes. Yeah
03:12Will you be really encouraged?
03:14Do you think going forward by the quality of your performance particularly on the transition and how frequently you actually cut city open?
03:22Yes, definitely
03:24As I said, we have to two ways to look to and to analyze the game
03:28Of course better from our eyes and the way we perform the way you created chances, of course
03:33And throughout the game we have to be really proud as I said two goals years for two goals here and we have more
03:38for clear chances three of them just want to be one with with others and of course we have to be and
03:44gives us the
03:46Really the feeling we don't need this type of situation
03:49But that we are in the right direction and we are we are growing and the process is there and we are going
03:54And that is not just in transition because even after the I think that the two one and the three one the way you did
04:01Control the game on the ball
04:02It's not easy to see CT defending so deep like they defend last 15 minutes of the game
04:06we are able to be patient and to to have the ball even even our first goal the way you
04:11Were the we circulate the ball and the way you were in our position attack
04:15They're really high on the pitch and we are able to do it
04:17We have been showing that most of the times in the home games to be to be honest and we did it
04:2215 minutes
04:23we we are the control of the ball to see a city finish with the
04:27Three centrally fans with five at the back and all the stuff that show that we are
04:30We are capable even on the ball to create problems for them. Not just in transition. But yes gives us the
04:36the
04:37Courage we know that what we are capable to do
04:40but it gives us the confidence more than the courage to keep going the direction that we want to to go and to keep and
04:45And to stick with our with our philosophy as a team
04:49Any further questions?
04:52Thank you
