00:00Several weeks. I don't know the exact date, but it's going to be for a long.
00:07And that's it. It's part of football and you continue.
00:13Yes, of course.
00:18No, no, it's the same thing, guys. It's the same thing.
00:21It will be the same thing.
00:30I think we are improving near the opponent box. We had some games that we are near the box but
00:40without a real threat. You could see different things today. You can see that we can shoot,
00:46we are near the goal and you feel it, you really feel it. I think it's a good thing in our team.
00:54I feel that our team is faster, are pressing more, the physicality is improving,
01:02the understanding of the game. And you can see it by the controlling of the game.
01:07And you see it more, especially in this game, but also in the last game.
01:13We understand more the position in the movement that we should do. So there is a lot of things,
01:18but we have to think of the good things. We are out. Let's focus on the next competition.
01:24Jürgen, it's nice to be out for a while and to meet other players and to step up.
01:29You played Anthony tonight. He's obviously had a tricky time at Benion United tonight,
01:33his career so far. But what do you like that you've seen from him so far and what do you
01:37hope to get more out of it? He needs more confidence. If you remember Anthony and I
01:42played against him in Ajax, he lacks a little bit confidence to go to one against one. So
01:49he will improve. But he's working really hard and he's trying and he's playing more inside than
01:54outside, especially in this game. And he just has to do that, to work really hard and I will help
02:02him to be a better player. Just on complacency again, I think he's only played some 33 games
02:11out of 78 for the club. Will you use this period now where he's out to try and get to the bottom
02:16of why he has so many injuries? That is not my department. What I can do is to help Mace,
02:25to teach him how to play our game when he's recovering. Try to use that time for him to think
02:31in different things. And then I think the worst part is that we don't have time to train like we
02:40should do when you are recovering from a lot of injuries. So we are always travelling, we have
02:47games, trainings, we don't have all the team together. And this is really hard to recreate
02:52the game before they come to the game. You can see with Vic, Vic was recovering, they trained
02:58really well, we push him, we make all the sprints that he should do before to come to a game. But
03:03the game is a completely different world. So they have to have more time to train. So it's really
03:09hard. We try to manage that with rotation, but even with rotation it's really hard to have all
03:16the squad. So with Mace and Mount we are going to help them. It's really hard for a player to be
03:23out for so long. And he's trying really hard, the same as Anthony. If they try really hard,
03:30we will help them until the end. It feels like quite a while since you've played at Old Trafford.
03:36Are you looking forward to being back there?
03:42It was really hard, the Nottingham game was really hard to lose that game in the way
03:47that we lost. So I'm always looking forward to hear that song, to play with our fans and to try
03:57to put some happiness in their lives. Because today was really tough for sure for them.
04:04You talked about the three days, another game, three days, another game. What would you like
04:09to do with more time? What would you like to do that you can't do at the moment?
04:13Training. That's simple. Because we are rotating players. When you rotate players,
04:22it's really hard to work in every connection. So if you are always working with a different guy
04:28next to you, more or less in the same position, it's really hard to work on that connection.
04:36We start in the middle of the season. We already know.
04:39So if I have more time, we will use it to train the team. That's all.
