00:00I know we don't want to focus on one person, but could we just explain the second goal?
00:28We lost the ball in one transition, then a lot of open space and then they scored. All the teams suffered that goal.
00:43Has Andre Agnana explained that he seems to be going in the wrong direction?
01:13You conceded it to corners at Arsenal. The first goal today was a corner game. Who's fault is that? The players? Yourself? Your coaches? Why has that happened?
01:43It wasn't the best way. We did a lot of work in this area because we saw it in Arsenal. It was really hard. In this context, in the beginning of the game you suffered in the first play.
01:58It's really hard to put energy in the team, but we managed to do it. We drew the game and then in the second half the same thing. Then you feel it in everybody.
02:09The fans, the players, it's really hard to transmit something like continue to do your job. We managed to score one more, but then it was more like we wanted, but with not a lot of quality.
02:25Rasmus Rasmus scored twice against Everton. You haven't started them since. What do you think?
02:55It's been a tough defeat today. It's been a challenging few days. How do you look back on that?
03:25We understand the context, but we have to keep in the same way, doing the same things. The same words that I have here with Everton, I have today.
03:38Continue to focus on the performance, what we need to do. We need to improve on a lot of aspects of the game and continue to do the same things tomorrow in training.
03:49I know you lost against Arsenal, but even at school you haven't had this. How do you focus? How is your mentality?
03:57I had this and worse in Sporting in the beginning. The feeling for me is the same. For the world it's completely different because you know Sporting in Portugal.
04:11In Manchester you have a lot of attention, but for me it's the same feeling. I had this period in Sporting. If you are a little bit experienced in football, this happens with a lot of clubs.
04:25We have to manage to continue to do the same things and improve the team because this will turn around. We need time and we need to continue to work in the same way every day.
04:41Bruno is safe enough with the team trailing. What was the rotation? Would you have done anything differently?
05:11It's very technical and we need fresh legs. If you see the game, transitions. We can lose the ball and if you suffer another goal, it was over.
05:24I used all the substitutions with a lot of games. I felt that Bruno was a little bit tired. I had Mason Mount and tried to put Mason Mount and Josh more near Rasmus to try something in the end.
05:37In the first half, your central defenders kept passing to each other quite a lot. It seemed quite static. Is that because they don't have the confidence to go forward or is there not enough movement in front of them?
05:50I think we suffered a goal and then we went forward and we managed to have a situation. In the middle, in the end of the first half, we blocked and we played just with the central defenders.
06:05They are trying to reach the perfect solution and they need time to train. The same thing again. We are in the beginning. It's just two weeks and the focus is not to lose the ball with sloppy passes.
06:20They are trying to do that. I know that they have to have more confidence not just to take the ball but also to put the ball between the lines and we did it in the goal. The first goal is a play like that. It's everything you said.
06:35They are trying to do everything perfect and then they are finding the right solution but sometimes against low blocks you have to take the risk and we are in this path.
