SPEAKING TO BT SPORT

-

I DIDN’T like the game. I think we deserved to win because the game was more or less in control for the majority of the time. We didn’t play the way I want the players to play. I didn’t have the reaction from all of them. I had a reaction from some of them and because some of them were mentally strong enough and with football quality to play was the reason why we won. But a team of 11 when you don’t have a minimum of six, seven players performing and wanting to play, want the responsibi­lity to have the ball…

When I spend two days working on faster build-up and the ball arriving earlier in attacking areas. And that depends on qualities and decisions by the defenders in possession but also depends on the movement from the attacking players.

When I spent two days working on this and I arrive here, attacking players hiding behind defenders, not wanting the ball in between the lines, defenders playing just square passes and taking 10, 12 passes for the ball to go from one line to another line, I have to feel frustrated.
