00:00The perfect start, then similar to the weekend with how the team came out of the second half,
00:06lots of pressure to deal with and then obviously not the same result this time?
00:11Oh yes, it was a perfect start but already in the first half I think we played,
00:18it looked like we played with too much respect, a little bit too cautious in finding the moment
00:25to press them and also especially in possession, we lost the ball too easily, we played too slow,
00:29we didn't demand the ball, we didn't support each other in possession how it
00:35needs to be that you can also release from their press and so I mentioned it before the game in
00:43the press conference, we need a performance on our top level, then it's possible to win here
00:48and I think, we have to be honest, it was not a performance on our top level, we missed several
00:54percentage out of possession, several percentage in possession and then you lose here and what's
01:01positive is we scored two goals, it's not so easy to score two here but that's maybe let's say now
01:08at the end a little bit frustrating because when you score two at Emirates it should have been at
01:11least a penalty shootout but we missed and overall it's a deserved win for us now today.
01:16Have you seen the replay of the second goal from Arsenal?
01:28Yes, I've seen it, I think it was offside but we are, everybody knows this and
01:34it's they had too many chances in second half, we gave them too many chances where they could score
01:38and when you give them so clear chances, Dean Henderson saved two, three great balls and then
01:44it's just a question of time when they score and this happened today, every situation was quite
01:49similar and when they found the gaps we shifted too slow, we made there too many mistakes, we
01:56didn't get pressure on the ball, we were a little bit, that's what I mean, for me too cautious,
02:01it was half attacking, half being in shape and then they punish you and it's too good.
02:07Do you think it was okay, it seemed a little bit tired in the second half?
02:11No, no.
02:14Gentleman there from London.
02:16Jürgen, Kamada played in the third minute at Brighton and he played tonight again and
02:22he played, he's not considered in a difficult situation, he had to come on before but
02:28obviously he hasn't hit the ball that he showed at Frankfurt or that about Lazio,
02:35what do you think he's missing at the moment, maybe there's something he could do?
02:39I know that he's a little bit unlucky to start here and at the beginning we all,
02:46we didn't get the results, he played many minutes then he got the red card,
02:49was suspended for three games and a long time to wait and now he's fighting back,
02:56he gets better, he had a very positive impact last game and today it was tough for him but
03:04he tries everything, he tries to improve, he knows how we want to play so
03:09of course he also had to adjust to the physicality of the Premier League
03:16but this is what will happen and so I'm very calm that he will get better and better.
03:24What did you tell him when you sent him on to the pitch today?
03:29Some tactical things and then especially, he knows everything, what he has to do and find the
03:35spaces, move the ball there because his football intelligence is very, very good but what I
03:43mentioned before, I think we didn't have the best support of all the players, sometimes we left
03:48them alone and then it was too much pressure and we lost the ball too easily.
03:52Did you feel that your team gave Arsenal a bit too much space on that side today?
04:14No, I think we missed him especially in possession because we had so much space
04:18behind their full-backs because they followed our 10s into the midfield and then we have to
04:24attack this with full determination and I think here we were a little bit too cautious but again,
04:32no one to blame, Caleb made his first appearance and here in front of 60,000 and
04:40Thiago also, in the second half, at the end it became better but this is what Daniel is always
04:50there, always making these runs but he won't play on Saturday so a positive decline, he has a head
04:57and cross and an assist but when we play in this shape, of course we need the support from our
05:04wing-backs, with crosses, with being in the box, we had some situations when
05:10this is what you have to do, then you get an overload, if you don't do it then it's always
05:17difficult to create chances in situations and this is what we want to do better on Saturday.
05:24You didn't have too many really clear opportunities in front of goal in the game
05:29but with that in mind you must have been very pleased with the way that
05:31Mateta and Coutinho, two strikers, did finish their chances?
05:35Oh yes, we were very efficient today, that's the positive thing but going there,
05:43preparing the situations, therefore we have to move the ball quicker, too long.
05:48Today we missed some percentage and then it's not enough to win here,
05:55players wanted, they tried everything, no one to blame, everybody wanted but
06:07it was not the best performance and then it's just not possible to win here and it's not that
06:12everybody wanted but we couldn't transform it today on the pitch.
06:17There's a lot of talk about Arsenal's callers and their strength there,
06:21today you seem to need three people, can you explain the thinking behind that?
06:28Ask me this question on Saturday, please, because we play them.
06:32Will you do the same thing again?
06:35Let's see, we will watch them, I think they will watch them and they will find
06:42new ideas and it's always what are they doing, what are we doing and so let's see and
06:50on Saturday I will answer.
06:54Arsenal made eight changes from their starting line-up today and they brought players on,
06:58presumably they'll start with a different team on Saturday, do you think that could affect
07:03your team's confidence ahead of this match or have any impact on what happens on Saturday?
07:08We can't influence it, so I think Mikel Arteta won't ask me who should play,
07:15so it's nothing I'm thinking about, it's nothing we're talking about because we don't know.
07:21We know they have a great squad, otherwise it's not possible to play for winning the
07:27Premier League. Last year I think they were two points behind City, I think it was in the last
07:33round or quite at the end, so also when I see they're attacking players today with Trossach,
07:40Abel Jesus and Sterling, fantastic, Marino, everybody I think was bought for, I don't know
07:46exactly, but 40, 50, 60 million, so it's a lot of quality in the squad, that's why they can
07:51compete for winning the Premier League and the Champions League, this is their goal,
07:55so we have different circumstances, but I know that we will do our best, we will
08:05analyse this game and we will learn from it and then we will try to beat them in three days
08:11at home. It's not that easy, I know, but we will try, definitely.
08:25All right, cheers.
