00:00I think they have to think about the second leg and they have to think more
00:04about the first 20 minutes than the rest of the game because the game is going
00:08to be really tough. There is no goals away so anything can change and that is
00:14my message to the players and we have to to think about now from for for
00:19Brantford and then for the second leg I appreciate that you've got to be quite
00:27cautious because there's a second game at Old Trafford but is that the best
00:29performance, best result of your time in charge here? No I think it's the best
00:32result because nobody expects this result but again I think you saw two
00:39games today, the first 25 minutes and then after the goal and also with the
00:43sent-off the game changed. That was a good thing, also a good thing in the second
00:47in the second half we try to be cautious, we create chances but the most
00:53important thing is that the opponent didn't get shots, many shots to our goal
00:58and that was really important.
01:04Thank you. Hi, it's I think it's often missed that it's actually quite a young
01:10squad that you've got but tonight thinking Bruno Fernandes, Casemiro, Jaime
01:15Maguire there was huge performances from some of the more experienced players how
01:19important was that tonight? It's really important and they have to step up in this
01:22moment so they are experienced they are international players they they already
01:28played this this moment so they have to step up in this moment that's that's why
01:32they are playing here and they are the most experienced players in this in this
01:37team so I think that is natural.
01:40Hi Ruben, when your team play with such fluency like they did tonight and the sort of
01:46fearlessness, how is it that they can lose almost half their games in the Premier League
01:50and then come out and put a performance on like that?
01:53I think it's it's hard it's hard to to explain we improve in the last games I don't look
01:59just to the results we had some games that we won that we didn't play well and some games
02:04that we lost but we played well and sometimes you just need a little bit luck if you imagine
02:09the first 30 minutes they have chances to score if they score it's a different game so we
02:14need to understand this these moments and when we score we we felt more more free to play so I
02:22know I know that it's hard it's a different competition I know that it's hard to
02:25understand but sometimes it's the context since the way we see things we can win
02:29this competition and in Premier League we are just suffering after game after game so
02:34and try to manage these both things with some injuries sometimes it's hard even for the players
02:39Yeah hi Ruben you talked about the first 30 minutes and in that time Victor Lindelof made a
02:48really big goal and clearance I mean can you how important was that and for him personally you
02:54know he's obviously not been in the team all the season maybe leaving in the summer what kind
02:58of a moment was that for him yeah it's it's it's a moment but we need to focus on on the on the second
03:04leg and then in the final if you if we get there was a moment important for him but also he's also an
03:11experienced player he's fighting for the team and these guys want to to give something to our fans
03:16because you can see every week no matter what happened in Premier League our fans you feel always
03:21the support so we want to give them something so was important moment for him but more important
03:27for the team
03:29Ruben what can you say about Harry Maguire he had a tough time before you came to the club got himself
03:35back in the team scored winning goal against Lyon and then players are you know an important part in
03:40the in the first goal tonight I think it's it's a good lesson for all the players that sometimes you have
03:46some moments that you think that I will never recover from this or or that anything can happen
03:52and I think the it's not just Harry the the the history of this game can tell you that it looks like
03:58really really we are struggling a lot and then everything changed and everybody's going to say was
04:03maybe the best game of the season so we have to understand that some the players have some moments in
04:11in their life that they have to just to continue to work everything can can change
04:16uh good evening Ruben we ask you so much about Rasmus Hoyland and the goals and the numbers but
04:23tonight what his contributions were won't come up on the statute you know he wins the penalty he plays
04:28a part in the third goal so how pleased are you for him and can that be a sign that he can show that
04:34improvement and that will equate to goals eventually I think it's hard to say but I think it was the best game
04:40that he he had with me as a coach he helped a lot the team he he secured the ball and then he makes
04:48the runs and then decide quite well so he's a good moment for him but like like Harry he needs to
04:54understand everything can change so let's focus on the next one this is in the past we have a tough job
05:00to do in on sunday and especially on thursday
