00:00Anybody want to kick us off?
00:26Jürgen, overall, how do you see the performance this time?
00:36I find these questions always difficult, because in the end,
00:41football is always like a game of results, and we need results also for the process,
00:48and we have to understand how to get results.
00:51On the other side, of course, the performance was good enough to win this game easily,
00:58especially in the first half.
01:01There were a lot of moments where we should have scored a second or even a third goal
01:06and I think then the game would have been completely different,
01:09but in the second half there were two or three moments where we weren't precise enough,
01:14where we lost the 50-50, where we got a little bit attracted by the atmosphere.
01:20These things are so important to experience and also to learn,
01:25to get the results you deserve in the end.
01:29That's why for me it's always a balance between, of course, the performance is good,
01:33but in the end we are a club of ambitions and we need to get results out of these games.
01:40Brian?
01:41Fabio, you used the word ruthless, is that one word that comes to your mind today?
01:47We can repeat it again.
01:50I think it's the second or maybe the third bad experience in one week we made,
01:58so we gave away a 2-0 lead against Wolverhampton,
02:03we played a very good game in the Carabao Cup against Liverpool,
02:07we played another very good game here, but in the end we had three games and we have one point.
02:12Of course you say ruthless, I think in some moments we could be more ruthless, for sure,
02:18but to be honest you also need a little bit more luck,
02:22so if you want to win at Anfield in some moments you need the luck,
02:25and when we saw the cross, the first goal, the luck was on their side,
02:29and on the other side you need also, in the right moments,
02:33give the 50-50 jewels to you, and that's all part of the game,
02:37when you want to get the result, and we didn't have this in the second half,
02:40so in the end we lost it.
02:46You mentioned the atmosphere, the players being attracted to it,
02:50how much of an influence did that have?
02:52Did you see your coaching staff signalling to your players just before the goal?
02:59How much of an influence did that have?
03:03Yeah, that's a good question. How we can solve this?
03:06Maybe I have to call Jürgen and ask him what are the solutions for that for the opponent's team,
03:13but that's a tough moment.
03:16I only experienced it on television so far, about the atmosphere,
03:21and now we experience it on our own.
03:25These are the small details, you know, being loud, great atmosphere,
03:30maybe a wild environment, exactly these moments to stay calm
03:34and to still play out from the back.
03:36Because in the end there were still solutions we could find,
03:39and we couldn't find them in the second half.
03:42Then the dominance from Liverpool getting bigger and bigger,
03:48then they had more crosses from outside the box,
03:51I think there were not big chances for them.
03:54Of course they have strong players as set-pieces,
03:57but in general we defended quite well.
04:00That's also a little bit, and then we have to take responsibility for that,
04:05that we weren't this precise, we were playing with this courage,
04:10like we did in the first half.
04:16Hello, Fabian.
04:18I'm Emmanuel Navarro from Sport International from Mexico.
04:23Bart De Bruyne made a few mistakes before the international break,
04:27in recent performances, he has been impressive.
04:31How important is he to your role model,
04:34in terms of the distribution and the sequence,
04:37because tonight he also made a couple of outstanding saves?
04:45I think in all the developments it's so important to see the age from Bart,
04:52so of course we want to play out from the back,
04:55and in some moments you make mistakes,
04:58and I demand it from my players, because like this you develop.
05:02I really enjoy working with him because he's an unbelievable character,
05:08for his age he's very, very mature,
05:12and he sees things very, very professionally,
05:16and that's why he's a role model for everything.
05:19I think he can play a big part in the future for the club,
05:22and of course on the pitch he helps us with the saves,
05:26but not only with the saves, also with his foot.
05:29He's very good and very important for us to build up from the back,
05:32because in the end the goalkeeper is the first pillar player and we have to use him,
05:35and that's why I'm happy with him and his development,
05:38and I'm sure he will be a very important part for us in the future.
