00:00We knew that it was a muscle problem but we didn't know how important it was
00:05because his feeling, his reaction was quite good but unfortunately he had the
00:11scan a few days ago and this is an important one and will be around
00:17six, eight weeks. I said since day one that Christo is not a nine. Christo is
00:22attacking midfielder but we use him as a nine to find a solution with all of
00:26them but we know very good that Christo is not a proper nine. Sometimes we
00:31complain about players but then when they don't play we realise how
00:36important they are for the team. So every press conference you ask me about Nico
00:41every press conference I said that this important player is doing fantastic on
00:45the ball and off the ball and then he didn't play against Brighton and
00:49everyone was thinking it's difficult to play without a nine. We know exactly how
00:53good is Nico on the ball and off the ball. Christo is a completely different
00:58player on the ball and off the ball and this is the reason why I said that
01:01probably we need to change something. I consider Christo a very important player
01:06since we started. The problem is that they think that they are important just if
01:11they play. If they don't play they don't think that they are important but now
01:17also you know with the window transfers closed so everyone is here and they can
01:21try to help us until the end.
