00:00Despite the disappointment of last night's results, there are still plenty of positives
00:04that I'm sure you can take forward to Saturday. You talked about being more
00:08ruthless. Can you train that? Is that a mindset thing?
00:14It's just like being ruthless, what I mean is just to of course avoid individual mistakes
00:22because in the end Liverpool punished them so when we look at the first goal it's not
00:27even a chance for them, it's just a shot from outside from an unbelievable angle and
00:34we were not able to keep Gakko on the right foot for example so when you know that he's
00:39trying to go inside so avoid that he can go on his right foot for example.
00:45The same is not only out of possession, only in possession we had plenty of chances where we
00:52where we just needed the last consequence, we just needed the last focus to score and I think
01:00in both directions, in possession and out of possession they're like the small details that
01:04make the difference in the end and exactly these small details you need to have them on your side
01:09and you need to do them in a perfect way otherwise you won't have a chance against a top team like
01:15Liverpool and that's what I meant with being ruthless because I can't say to a player you must
01:22score because of course he wants to score, in the end it's about trying to demand or put pressure
01:30on the players by the things they can control and they can't control if they want to score or not
01:34because I think every player wants to score so that's why focus more on the small details,
01:40focus for example on the on the first touch before you have a chance, focus on how you
01:45defend the one against one, on which side you lead the opponent,
01:48these are things where we have to be more ruthless.
