get what's right for you right now
00:00:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
should raise your hand question please and ni
00:01:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
hi honor how do you up tonight Disappointing, because you play football to win a game and that's what we didn't do. For me it was a different loss than the one we had against Palace.
00:01:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Because for me there was a lot more to like, especially in the first half, which was maybe different to the Palace game. And in the second half, it became harder and harder for us to create. First of all, because they were fighting with with all they had. So you always have to give credits to them.
00:01:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Second of all, because we hardly played in the second half. And we've hardly played. I mean, the ball was hardly in play. It seemed that at times it was mistakes. Galatasaray galatasra but doing.
Player Management: Rotation & Injuries
00:01:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
You've spoken ah number of times about the need to manage minutes but at the same time getting a balance with continuity of selection as well. So do you see that rotation as having an impact in those individual mistakes that kind of halted the momentum at times?
00:02:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's difficult. there can be There can be so many reasons why an individual makes an error pass or a mistake. what What you see is, and I think I've explained this many times, that that there are a few players ah from us that missed preseason.
00:02:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
So you simply cannot play them every single game. Yeah, you can, but then that could become a risk of players getting injured. We see this more and more because the demands go up more and more and if the demands go up you have to prepare players for these demands and so yeah that means that it's not always that i want to rotate but sometimes i just need to because the player is not ready to play three times 90 minutes in seven or eight days um um as much as we i like my squad so much but we don't have 25 26. so if we if we end up with two three or four injuries 15 or 16 players where a rio and trey or one of these two or 15 or 16 uh need to play almost all the minutes and then things can become complicated so uh but this is a decision we've made together me i i completely believe in this
00:03:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Because if you have 25, it's very hard to to manage your squad. But as a result of that, with Hugo, Alex, Connor, McAllister not having the preseason as a player should have, that also results in the fact that I cannot play them every time.
00:03:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hi, Arne. You said that Allison's definitely out for Saturday. can you What actually is the injury and and how severe do you think it is?
00:03:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, when he sprinted back, he felt something. So, um yeah, we have to, wait I cannot tell you because I'm not a physician.
00:03:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
um But normally when a player, when he sprints back, feels something and he goes to the floor and doesn't come back. and onto the pitch. That's by the way what did they 112 times being injured and coming back on the pitch without any pain.
00:04:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
um But our players don't do this. So if my player is on the floor, I 9 out of 10 times fear the worst. And with the worst, I mean that he cannot continue.
00:04:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
And that's what happened with Alisson. So yeah, then normally he will not be able to play Saturday. That's... That's 99.9%. I've already said 100%, but let's make it 99.9. But I think it's 100.
00:04:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hi, Anna. Can I just check on Hugo against IK as well? It looked like he seemed to pull something when he scratched. Yeah. He felt something when he had to reach for for the ball. I think we all know which moment it was when we were trying to force something.
00:04:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
and full I think at that moment of time on the other side, there was someone on the floor as well. So the referee blew his whistle and I wasn't even thinking that was that we had an injury, but yeah, Hugo felt something.
00:05:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
And after the game, but yeah, that's always the difficult thing with these moments. Then players feel like, ah, it's not too bad. But yeah, when you just walk around, it's something different than when you make a sprint or when you have to shoot on on target.
00:05:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
So he said he couldn't continue, so we had to take him off. Let's see how he is for the weekend.
Player Strategies: Positioning & Tactics
00:05:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
So, ask you about your right side today. I know Dominic's obviously played at right back, but seeing Jeremy Fringpong quite high up the field, is is that something you want to continue with Dominic playing at right back? Is that an issue you need to sort of resolve? Jeremy played a lot of times as a wingback, right winger at Leverkusen.
00:05:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah He played there in preseason for us. He's one of the players that can replace Mo in that position. I don't see many others that can play in that position which are favorite to them. I think Jeremy is one of his favorite positions to play there. He plays there for the national team, for a national team always.
00:06:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah So yeah, he's a player that can play there normally, normally, normally. They play with the left winger inverted and the fullback really high. So yeah, the left winger goes in further, he plays on the midfield. So then Dom is on the midfield and Jeremy is in some kind of a wingback.
00:06:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
But they did it the opposite today, which happens more to us that they change something. But I think both of them can play really well in their position. And I've just explained also that Conor missed out quite a lot in preseason.
00:06:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
and so that also means he cannot play every single game so you then consider which game is best for which player and Mo has played a lot of minutes already so we i we decided to do it today like this and I think in the first half i was I was quite happy with the way we played actually last question did you feel the penalty was was slightly harsh on you I haven't seen it back um
00:07:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
But there was no contact with the defeat and I don't know if you've been to all of my press conference but the last few weeks I'm i'm talking quite a lot about that and we are a very fair team and I think maybe this was a situation where their player was really smart.
00:07:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
He felt something and made it feel as if it was well an unbelievable hit. And the referee said, yeah, there's contact. And then the VAR cannot overturn it if there is contact.
00:07:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Although he did overturn the contact in the last minute when we got a penalty. This is something we have to accept.
