It was hard to to line up
especially in the back four.
We was a was a puzzle
and I think finally we have found found the right
formation and also the organization.
So we have to to find our rhythm
we we needed some time.
First off, although we created very good chances,
Scott dominate twice, Marcus Restford,
good chance, Anthony, but also we allowed them some counters
and there was also a second-half first 5 minutes.
But after that we took completely I think the control
in the game
and we were more calm and composed and be
keeping the ball longer. We stayed there,
we were in there half and
getting the switches and as I say,
we took the control and we created the chances and
we didn't allow them
into the counter attacks. So I'm very pleased with the
second-half especially and I'm most of all very pleased
with the spirit from the team and the passion and
desire they showed and that
must be always the standard.
How big
a goal
might that be? It's big.
We
want to win every competition,
so every game is big.
And
so the the fans deserve
A-Team, whose fight, fighting and a team was acting as
a team and show
determination and show passion and desire and and resilience and
nothing.
They showed it today, especially the resilience.
After Saturday we were all very disappointed
after a very good run.
Yeah, then we had
a defeat and we were very disappointed,
as I said, but then you have to bounce back
and I think that is what we did today.
And as I say, it was no easy because
especially in the back four we have serious problems.
And then I'm very happy that Rafa fought to get
to play this game. Also Bruno
he he had very bad injury as well
and he fought to be part of this game and
then
I'm very pleased for him and how important he is
to have the assist on the goal of Casimiro.
With the draw against Liverpool,
your thoughts on
that? It's obviously it's possibly
the hardest draw here that you
could have had, but also is it being rivals?
Is it one that you you really relished as well?
There are many good teams in the Premier League.
Liverpool's all at this moment top but also City is
top.
So yeah
but it's a great challenge for us and but we
are really looking forward because we like the challenges
and it's a great great game for us to play
and yeah,
but first of all we now looking forward
to Sunday. Oh Casa, very important goals for the legal
final and obviously against United.
When you talk about
experience,
absolutely leadership and he's a fantastic football player and
I think
he scored so many goals for us.
I think he scored more goals than he has ever
done in his whole career
for United. So yeah, it's great to have a player
like Casimiro and in your squad and your team
because and you see how important he then is for
us.
And when he's not there like in October,
November, December, January, you really miss him because
he set some structures in the team and
his leadership makes us better play and also the quality
he has on the ball,
of course. Richard,
hi. Can you explain when Bruno's injury and did he
have
to take injections? I don't go to to to go
into that because also you saw that Forrest
was targeting him and
so I don't go to tell what he has,
but it was a serious injury and then I didn't
see that serious media.
They criticize him also social media.
That is this pathetic and can't be had.
He has a serious injury but he continued to play
on Saturday and now also he
fought to be part of this game and
he has a very
high
pain threshold. And that last year he did also something
similar against person I think in the semi final.
And that shows his leadership
because there he expresses his character,
character and that is very good for when you are
a leader,
that coach and flew it into the team.
You thought
that
Forest targeting, targeting him, there were many false on him.
You thought
you thought that was a maybe a little bit,
a little bit too tough,
but you see when he's getting the ball they are
really tight on them.
