00:00It was a good result, I think if you look at both games it was so much tougher than if you look just to the result.
00:25We have so many weaknesses and you can understand that in the game.
00:29But we are fighting and we managed to pass.
00:33I think we deserve, if you look at two games, to be in the final.
00:42I know you've said that winning it won't mask a lot of things, but winning it would surely give you and your team a huge belief going forward.
00:54Quite apart from the money that you get, it would be a trophy, it would tell everybody that you are on the right path.
01:01It's obviously the biggest game that you've had since you've been in the club.
01:06I think that is clear and I agree. The money is not the most important. Even the title, to win a title as a coach is that feeling that we can do good things.
01:19The feeling to give something to our fans, especially in this kind of season. So I agree. It's not just playing Champions League next year. It's that feeling that we can change things.
01:31It's not just me. If you look at the bench, that is the best thing, that is the best feeling as a coach.
01:51When you look at the other guys on the bench and they are so happy for Mason Mount because everybody in that dressing room see Mason Mount doing everything he can to be available.
02:03He's a really good player and you can see both goals are really, really good goals.
02:10So I think not just Mason Mount, not just me, but also the teammates. They were so happy for him.
02:18James?
02:24Aaron, you've won a major title for the team to win this trophy in the contest of this season. What was this ranking on your team?
02:35Every coach will say that the next one is the most important. I think the title will be more exposure.
02:46But I cannot say that it's the most important title. I think your first one is more important because you want to establish you as a coach and to win something to say that you have a title.
02:59But it will be massive, especially after this season in Premier League. So for me it's the most important because it's the next one.
03:10First question.
03:11First question.
03:12You said we suffered tonight in the team and that was the chase as a first star. Do you feel it would be a similar story in the final against Tottenham?
03:24The big advantage of it, three times the season in the four or three games. And with that record do you feel that you would do a win over the team of the fans?
03:34Every game has its history. So we lost the three last games, we can win this one.
03:41So if you look at the odds, we are closer to win than to lose.
03:48Both teams are going to play like all or nothing in this kind of game.
03:53It's quite similar. The position of the coach is quite similar.
03:56I know that NG has one more year. It's different, the context, but we are struggling, both of us.
04:06So I don't know what is going to happen. That is a good thing and a bad thing with this team.
04:12I never know. So I will try to prepare the game.
04:16But I think we are improving if we have more solutions.
04:20You can see that we can take Garnasho that gives us the speed, the transition for Ahmad.
04:26And to have that possibility can help us to win games.
04:29Mason Mount, Kobe Mino, all these players. We can choose from these players and to prepare a final in a better way.
04:38So that we have to understand that this final is completely different from Premier League games.
04:45What was your intention with the substitutions with Mount and Ahmad? What did you make of their impact?
04:53I think they changed the games, but that is credit to the players.
04:57I felt that we needed a little bit more energy. We had to keep the ball.
05:03I think when you play with Manu and Casemiro, we win in some areas, but we lose a little bit in the way we push forward the team.
05:14Bruno Fernandes is a really good player to drive the ball, but also to start the play with long passes.
05:22And that ability can help us.
05:24Ahmad is to change because I felt that Garnasho was a little bit tired.
05:30It was my fault because he did a really good job against Brentford.
05:33But we need to also try to win games in Premier League. It's hard to think about everything in this kind of game.
05:40So my thinking is always to help the team to win.
05:45Mr. Aaron, to follow on to my question, are they capable of playing 90 minutes on Sunday and in Europe at the final?
05:57It's going to be hard. Players like Mezenmont, we have to be careful.
06:01Ahmad is still getting his momentum.
06:05So some players are not capable to do that.
06:10I felt Nuz, we rest Nuz, but you can feel that Maz Raoui doesn't have the energy in this moment.
06:16So we'll try to help him in that department.
06:19Dalo is doing everything to recover.
06:23And I think they will push now to be available.
06:28So some players cannot play 90 minutes and you have to protect them to don't get injuries to the final.
06:37That concludes the post-match press conference.
