🕵️♂️ Transcript:
particularly canate Simas and Bradley how are they are they ready yet or is it more the weekend or a bit longer uh Costas is coming close um she going to train with us today maybe for the first time so let’s see uh how that works out IO and uh and Connor are still not training with us uh you yourself have got to serve a touchline band for this game against Southampton how do you feel about having to serve that and how will it impact you throughout the game um not as much as I thought I it should impact me because if you are suspended in uh in Holland then you’re not allowed to be in and around the dressing room uh you you can not do the media as well so uh this is a lighter version of of uh of suspension uh I would say that I’m used to but I’ve never been used to being suspended so it’s the first time I am um yeah uh so um I think I’m still able to do the things I want to do uh the moment you have the less impact you have on your team is is during the 45 minutes and the most impact you can have is at halftime before or before the game uh and those are the things I can do but in ideal situation I would have just been on the sideline but um I got a yellow which I probably deserved again as well and um yeah this happens do you think you deserved all of them are you a little bit surprised to be in no no one of the one of the three I didn’t deserve but I I told what I said back then which was for Tony he okay that’s where we don’t use that much over here um but that was meant to one of my players so that one was a misunderstanding but the one I got against Chelsea was absolutely deserved this game I could have I could have got five maybe so um to to come out with one was was maybe even a I have to thank the the referee for that but what do you expect from Southampton given obviously they’ve changed their manager or they’re about to change the manager but they have taken Russell Martin out to that yeah yeah which is uh which is in my opinion A pity and uh maybe it’s a good moment when we talk about uh uh referee decisions and how to react on that and and the manager being sacked I feel really really sorry for Gary O’Neal uh he’s done so well in my opinion if you look at how his team is playing and he was so so so unlucky in multiple occasions especially against West Ham in my opinion so uh these things happen and and Russell Martin has done so well last season at Southampton plays this season again a good football we’ve experienced this when we uh had such a tough day over there we only beat them 3-2 so you always feel sorry if managers uh don’t get the chance to to continue um and especially in these two situation because for me they are uh uh managers that uh had a good idea of how they wanted to play with the team and uh unfortunately uh um they they weren’t able to get enough points uh and uh then manages get sacked do do you wonder what to expect whether they Sorry that was your question I didn’t answer it at all uh we jack I have um it’s difficult because uh I saw them uh during the weekend starting with four at the back which they changed after 15 minutes going to five at the back and the one that takes over uh normally plays with four at the back so uh yeah uh what can you expect what would you expect four or five I’m going four to be fair throw little up in the air in the minute I think the players maybe uh uh feel more comfortable with five from what I saw during the weekend but yeah it’s also a moment for the manager to have his impact and may if he truly believes four is the best then he and and depends maybe also how long time is he going to get is he only for there for one game or is he there for longer uh will he play with his normal starters if he only has one chance or a few chances to lead the team will he then do what’s uh uh was best for the Premier League or for him as a chance to uh maybe reach the semi-final of The League Cup so it’s difficult what we can expect um in terms of formation in terms of uh Personnel but what we do know is that we have to play in away game against Southampton against 11 players thank you J morning I just want to check right now where you are as a side is this where you anticipated to be in in a quarterfinal still fighting on all fronts when when you came into this job to a certain extent yes because I think that is normal for Liverpool to be fighting for every Trophy and to be uh uh uh for a long time in every cup uh to go all all the way uh this happened last season when we uh not we but when this club won this uh competition so I’m not surprised that with the quality we have we are competing uh at this moment uh for these three uh trophies and the fourth one is starting in January but it’s uh it is a challenge because we have a lot of competition great competition in other teams here as well and also in the League Cup if you look at the other teams that are still in uh it’s um it’s for none of the teams that are in is going to be an easy uh an easy road to the final and doo J has returned to the squad is this a good time for him with all these games and this particular match coming up to get more match Fitness uh that is for me the positive uh positive thing also about the League Cup because like you’ve seen I think till now we haven’t played uh with many starters yet so it’s mostly been a game where the ones that haven’t played that much started the game and that’s that’s really important so for the likes of vat uh Ando for example he hasn’t played that much but but but fortunately for us he plays for his national team and the few times he can play in the League Cup helps him to keep his rhythm as well so um Joo would have been definitely one that was ideal for him to play but after the game he he he he wasn’t completely fit so he didn’t train with us yesterday so let’s see if he can train with us today um so don’t expect him to start hopefully he can make some minutes but I don’t expect him to start tomorrow thank you hi Anna it’s been notable in all the games that Liverpool haven’t been winning towards the end that you’ve been willing with your tactics and your substitutions to maybe sacrifice a defeat in the pursuit of a win uh even in situations where maybe a draw would be creditable like away at Arsenal or down to 10 men for 70 minutes for example has this always been your philosophy or have you maybe been influenced by the group who’ve been so good at winning games later on it is a combination of both it’s always been my philosophy uh since I’ve been the manager uh to try to win the game in the end um uh so um but it’s definitely also that our players have this same mentality long long long before I came here so uh it’s probably also the mentality of the club is the mentality of the players maybe that’s also one of the reasons why they brought me in because it’s also my mentality to uh to try to win every game um even if we in a situation like you said where um where you can accept a draw as well but um it’s it’s it’s the mentality we have together and that’s why we uh we are at this moment of time happy with each other I know you said Joo might not be fit enough to start but how’s feder Rico doing is this a game where he could potentially start him he still needs to be managed a bit carefully it’s definitely a moment where you can get minutes and the amount of minutes is uh is is is a question mark you you cannot expect from him to play 90 I think uh especially on this level uh where the intensity is so high um because he’s been out for five or six months now but he will uh if he uh uh has a good training session he will make minutes but it’s going to be a game where not all the all our starters will start uh so we have to manage minutes uh if if if the the the few if we want to use a few start is not for 90 minutes so we have to balance I can only make five substitutions if you know what I mean so uh the ones that make minutes and uh and go off maybe at halim uh can be more than five because you can only make five substitutions so um so he will make minutes uh federo tomorrow if he starts or comes in or plays the second half that’s something we have to uh we have to make a decision about uh during this day and talk going to m the boots having Allison back for the past couple of games but this competition in the past has been massive for K and K can we expect him to come back in tomorrow yes can and you’ve spoken a lot about in the past about his quality but just in terms of his character and his temperament as a number two it’s one of the most difficult jobs in in football really but can you just tell us a little bit about about him and and how he’s dealt with sort of dropping back out of the team yes I agree with you is one of the most difficult jobs in football if the first goalkeeper is always is available uh because then you work for the whole season and you hardly ever have the chance to play because you normally don’t come in 10 minutes or 15 minutes before the end he’s uh unfortunately for us uh but good for him uh he’ve already made quite a lot of minutes so I think if you make a list of players of the amount of minutes there will be players that have far less playing time than him so uh uh I think he he can look back at the first half season as for himself as a positive first half of the season uh we as a club of course hope that all players are available in the second half of the season so he will not make the amount of minutes as he did in the first half but we are really fortunate to have such a great second uh goalkeeper that if we need him he’s able to do as well as he did um could you talk a little bit about your your back room staff because they’ll be maybe a bit lower in the spotlight tomorrow um would be being suspended um you relate how long you’ve sort of sorry how how much sort of Delegation you give to them how important they are to you your longstanding relationships with cka yeah yeah cka I work with for a long time so we knew we know each other in and out especially uh football wise uh one of the reasons why we work together because we we we have so much in common if it if it’s about the playing style or a game model or or or the or the changes we make uh during the game and John H is now here with me for the first half season and uh um I couldn’t have wished for more so um very yeah if I say talented I I I I I I I I don’t not even rate him high enough because he’s more than that already he’s been a head coach himself but he’s still young but uh uh uh grew into our staff from the start in a in a in a very good manner uh so the same idea about football that’s also why why I chose him to come to us as well but the way he’s with the boys just like C is very positive we do almost all the things we do we do together uh like in every other staff I think it’s like this but that’s definitely the way it is over here as well they get a lot of uh time to work with the players in individual way but also lead part of sessions um have the same idea about football as I do so yes I will be involved tomorrow but if I wouldn’t be that wouldn’t would not be a problem at all for the players they would not notice anything different than I think and then we’re talking about the technical staff but I think we’ve all seen uh how much of a compliment our performance STA and medical staff should have if you look at how players come back like Ellis and like J now two days ago but also that we can we be with 10 and our opponent can say it felt like they had 11 that probably tells you a lot about our performance staff and about the players but I have given them enough compliments so let’s stay with the performance staff and uh and the medical staff and my back room staff uh as for now just one on the suspension do you think you need to change anything in the way that you you behaving on the touch L is it just un just unusual have you thought about that at all uh no you always reflect but uh I think in General I’m calm but if if if if I don’t know if it’s smart to say this but if if so there’s there’s also a limit for me let’s put it that way and uh and then I can get emotional uh and that unfortunately that limit is uh is earlier reached by referee decision than the decision my players make uh because they make more good decisions than the referees do in my opinion for my team no uh the Chelsea game was emotional we we we should have had a second penalty but the F changed it this game I think there were a lot of controversial uh decisions being made uh and if you then down to 10 uh that that that comes even that that works out even harder or I should I say this so um yeah like I said uh Chelsea game in this game was emotional and uh maybe I I should stay just underneath instead of going uh above uh yeah it is what it is I think I have three options to go now again don’t I I go is it again free before I start funny if on that topic on I just wanted to say cuz obviously we’re very used to what Jurgen Klo is like on the touch line you are not like Jurgen klopp on the touch L but does this show you’ve still got that what we say fire in the valy you still have that passion yeah I don’t always think you have to show it to uh to have that fire I think it’s clear that if you work uh in a club like this or around the world in the at a top club you do have this fire inside you of that you want to win every game and you try to influence as much as you as you can and um the mistake I make uh I’ve made a two times already here and one or two times in Holland that sometimes you think that uh creating an atmosphere that the whole world is against you can lead to some positive decisions in the end of the game but uh um here till now in as well as in the Chelsea game as in this game for the whole 90 minute it stayed the same so it didn’t change it wasn’t like after I was trying to influence a bit that the refe then all of a sudden gave us one of two uh uh free kicks no he just kept for the whole game the same so um I know that it doesn’t work but yeah sometimes you feel can I influenced that a bit but it didn’t help at all last one if Sim isn’t fit tomorrow we only have four Defenders with Andy Robson suspenders are players like Amaro James Norris even would they be Avail ready to to step up and play and what if you made the young players development Jo time that’s very positive uh you talk about these two now but I think we have a few others that have made a a good impact in our training sessions till now we’ve we’ve also used them like Trey has has been used already in the league cup I’m aware of the fact that we have only four Defenders available and probably the ones that have started a lot of uh times will not play uh 90 minutes for sure and maybe not even at all so uh it’s going to be either Academy players that are going to play uh get playing time or it’s going to be uh players that nobody would expect uh to see in the last line that are going to play in the last line tomorrow
