00:00I think it's a little bit a reflection of our season.
00:11We start quite well, controlling the game, not creating big chances, but controlling the pace of the game.
00:17We suffer a lot with throw-ins and set-pieces, but we already knew that our team would struggle against this team.
00:25We didn't have the height that would be necessary for this kind of game.
00:32They scored twice in these kind of moments, even with the mata on the floor.
00:39And then in the second half, I felt that we were near the draw and then we suffer a goal.
00:45And like some other times, we disconnect.
00:48And then another goal, almost three minutes or five minutes later.
00:54And then we pushed forward, tried to score.
00:56We scored twice, but we didn't have the time to do better.
00:59Did you mention the last fight there? Were they tactical or were they planned?
01:04No, it was just Luke Shaw with mata.
01:08We don't know what will happen on Thursday if we don't have Luke Shaw available.
01:14We can have a problem.
01:16And then we don't have enough defenders for the game.
01:20No, no, no, no, no.
01:21What I'm saying is that we have to protect some players at half-time thinking about Thursday.
01:26So it was just that, not about thinking about the game.
01:31I will not comment that.
01:41The important thing is to have mata, I'm not thinking about Thursday.
01:47Not a big issue.
01:48It's the only thing I ask.
01:51It's not to have them available for this game or for whatever is going to happen in the future.
01:57I just don't want a big issue because we had the problem with Licha and with mata.
02:03But I don't know.
02:04I'm just talking.
02:05I have no idea.
02:06It could be training in three days.
02:07I don't know.
02:08How important is it that your young players learn from today?
02:13It's an incredibly young team.
02:15It's really important.
02:18They have to understand this season.
02:22This season is really important also to understand that we cannot do this anymore.
02:26Of course, we know the context, but this kind of season, we need to change that.
02:31They need to understand what is to play for Manchester United.
02:35I think they did really well.
02:37They are not playing so much, but then they have to play 90 minutes,
02:40because we have to change some other players to save them for Thursday.
02:47And I think we can help even more the young kids.
02:51Especially Tyler did quite well in the third goal.
02:54He needs more help from Ahmad.
02:56So these small things, I think we can help them more.
03:00But I'm really happy with the performance of the young kids.
03:03And how pleased are you with Mason Mount?
03:06I mean, great finish.
03:07He has a huge smile on his face.
03:09It's not just the finish.
03:11It's the position that he has on the pitch.
03:13He's like a third midfielder that can reach the box.
03:17He's really intelligent.
03:19So he's getting there.
03:21And he trains really hard.
03:23Sometimes I have to push him back and to take him out the pitch,
03:27because he wants to do so much more.
03:29We are taking care of him.
03:31He wants to play more minutes, but the minutes were controlled.
03:35I'm really happy with him.
03:37So, just on the list, you don't know what the injury is yet,
03:40or whether it's how to use him or something?
03:42No, no. I have no idea.
03:44So, just on the end of the players,
03:46I know you spoke about how to go forward with it.
03:48How good was it to be for them?
03:51Yeah, it's really important because you can train a lot with the first team,
03:56but to have that feeling, playing with the players, feeling the players,
04:00the speed of the game, I think is the best thing.
04:03So, again, I think they did quite well.
04:07Shidou fought all the game, but you can feel that he's really naive sometimes
04:13in the way he puts his body.
04:15He's going to understand what is the feeling of playing in these kind of games.
04:19This is the best way.
04:21So, we can take that from positive.
04:23The rest, we lose.
04:26We didn't win points.
04:27So, just that.
04:29Okay, thank you.
