00:00How much is he improving under you and how important is it that he's going to be, you
00:18know, you keep him and he's going to be important to you?
00:21I think he's not improving under me.
00:24He changed right away since that game from City.
00:28The way he understands things and understands that I just want to help him, I just want
00:32to win games.
00:35And he changed in everything.
00:37The approach when he talks with him, the way he recovers, he understands that sometimes
00:42I'm a different coach, that I'm demanding in my way and sometimes it's hard the first
00:48impact because he's a different kind of coach and he understands that he's never in a bad
00:55way.
00:56It's always for him, but I'm a different person.
01:00And I think all the merit is from Garnaciu and he's improving and we want to continue
01:05to improve with Garnaciu again today.
01:09He understood the position, the moments of playing inside, outside, the connection with
01:14Aloha, I think he's improving a lot.
01:15Just on Coventry again, you've played really well tonight but it's his first start in the
01:22last three games, I think he was sucked on in two games prior to that.
01:26Did you feel maybe that Tolkien's contract has been kicked up recently and also, of course,
01:32that the uncertainty over his future with the club might have affected his form as much
01:35as what you mentioned before about playing in that big of a role?
01:38I don't think it's the contract.
01:42He has everybody in England sees him as a very, very good player.
01:48He played in the Europa Championship final.
01:53So I think it's more the position.
01:56Then he's not comfortable because before he was always playing and now sometimes plays
02:02and sometimes don't play, he's not comfortable.
02:05Maybe there is something to do with that.
02:08But I think the key point is the position.
02:10It's different for him, demands a lot from him and today, in that position, I feel more
02:16happy to play, simple as that.
02:19I don't look about just the movements, the way he touched the ball, I feel it just watching
02:26him.
02:27He was so happy on the pitch and that is important for me because if they are happy, they play
02:32better.
02:33So I think he can change position.
02:34We mentioned the cost financial situation a few times and that needs to raise money
02:35to reinvest and ultimately, as they are, selling academy players is a way to do it.
02:37But how do you balance that with keeping those players as well and getting the best out of
02:56them?
02:57Because we've seen the impact Kovac and Alejandro have had tonight, they've both been linked
02:58with being available.
02:59This window, is there going to have to be some difficult decisions there or do you want
03:00to build a team around Jean-Jacques Broglie?
03:04That part is true, but I want players like Kovac and Garnaccio.
03:10The focus is that we have to improve our academy and you have to bring more because that is
03:17something that all the clubs in England have to take advantage of, the players that came
03:24from academy.
03:26To play, to fill the shirt and also to sell.
03:29So our focus is to bring more.
03:32The rest, I just want to prepare with both of them in the next game.
03:37Reuben, Lucho came back from training yesterday, how close is he to serving when we expect
03:44to see him?
03:45It will take a little bit more time.
03:49I think he needs to train more, to spend more time with the teammates, playing like normal,
03:57even small side games, not just working alone.
04:01He stays there to make a different type of work, so he's going to get together with the
04:09team when we arrive and start from there.
04:12When I feel that is the right moment, we will start with some minutes in the games.
04:17Simon.
04:18On the Sunday team, what's the update on Malmsteen Evans at the moment?
04:23And with Malasia, he's obviously had a terrible injury, he's taking time to come back, he's
04:28taking over half time again today.
04:31Do you think it would be beneficial for him to go and get some minutes elsewhere perhaps
04:35for the rest of the season?
04:36We will see.
04:37What I know is that he's really hard on Malasia.
04:39Long time without playing, then it's hard to make a lot of games and a player like him
04:45is a full back and sometimes in this system, he played in national team outside and inside,
04:54sometimes it's hard for him because he's not so offensive and he can play like one
05:00of the three defenders if we have more possession and more control of the games.
05:05So it's a really difficult context for him, but he's our player and we are going to help him.
05:11I'll leave it there.
