(00:00:13):
It was a pressure.
(00:00:14):
Who said it was not a pressure?
(00:00:16):
It was a pressure because they wanted to pass.
(00:00:21):
Different kind of pressure,
(00:00:23):
yes,
(00:00:23):
but if there is no pressure,
(00:00:25):
there is pressure even in training.
(00:00:27):
every day.
(00:00:27):
So this is part of their life.
(00:00:32):
I believe the most important was what I said before for the Sunday in this moment
(00:00:36):
was necessary to have this kind of performance to give them what they missed until
(00:00:43):
now,
(00:00:44):
this confidence that we have this game and that we do what we want to do on Sunday.
(00:00:57):
You said that there’s no advantage from Forrest playing last night.
(00:01:01):
No.
(00:01:01):
But they are still in Europe.
(00:01:03):
And there’s going to be extra games.
(00:01:08):
How much would you be fine with,
(00:01:10):
or even hope,
(00:01:11):
that they could go all the way in Europe and cram up their fixed units?
(00:01:15):
I didn’t understand this last part.
(00:01:16):
How much would you be happy with Nottingham Forest going all the way to Europe so
(00:01:24):
they would have more games?
(00:01:26):
Of course I would be happy.
(00:01:26):
This is a normal thing.
(00:01:27):
This took energy.
(00:01:29):
For sure it’s help for other teams.
(00:01:33):
But sometimes even going up in a European competition gives something else,
(00:01:41):
gives some confidence,
(00:01:42):
some energy.
(00:01:44):
It’s not always they took away from you,
(00:01:47):
especially when you have two squads,
(00:01:49):
two players,
(00:01:50):
two teams.
(00:01:51):
If you don’t have injury,
(00:01:52):
it can be advantageous even to pass the next round because it gives some special
(00:01:58):
energy in the dressing room.
(00:02:00):
You said the other day that you can either cry about things or you can react in a good way.
(00:02:09):
Does he have that mentality?
(00:02:13):
Yeah, of course, of course.
(00:02:15):
He makes one very good save in an important part of the game.
(00:02:19):
I saw him in progress.
(00:02:23):
He’s rising.
(00:02:25):
I see him better and better.
(00:02:27):
At Liverpool,
(00:02:31):
there was the moment with the player liaison officer Alan Dixson, and we saw it
(00:02:36):
again against Atletico Madrid.
(00:02:48):
No, I didn’t.
(00:02:53):
This time we make it on purpose.
(00:02:56):
What happened?
(00:02:58):
My son,
(00:02:58):
who is 20 years old,
(00:03:00):
said,
(00:03:00):
in Croatia everybody laughing with you because you did this mistake.
(00:03:03):
I said, what mistake?
(00:03:04):
No, no.
(00:03:06):
I said to him, do you know who is the guy?
(00:03:08):
No, I don’t know.
(00:03:09):
And I said, no, it’s Alan Dixon.
(00:03:12):
I’m spending with him all days together.
(00:03:15):
So I come out and he stands in front of my bench.
(00:03:20):
So what other coach can be there in front of?
(00:03:23):
It’s my training zone.
(00:03:27):
He was there, I come into him to make a joke.
(00:03:29):
If you see, understand, I come from this side, I touch him and go to the other side.
(00:03:33):
And when he turned, I was not surprised.
(00:03:36):
I was laughing there.
(00:03:39):
I can imagine in Croatia,
(00:03:42):
because maybe they don’t know who is Alan Dixon,
(00:03:44):
but in England they don’t know that I don’t recognize the guy who I spend every day
(00:03:49):
10 hours,
(00:03:50):
so I come out and I don’t know,
(00:03:52):
it was a little bit ridiculous.
(00:03:54):
Now we did on a purpose to make a joke, because from now on I call him Arne.
(00:03:59):
He’s not anymore Alan, he’s Arne.
(00:04:02):
But this is how it works,
(00:04:05):
this 2026,
(00:04:06):
it’s about news,
(00:04:07):
you know,
(00:04:08):
to invent,
(00:04:08):
to have fun,
(00:04:09):
to...
(00:04:10):
It’s part of the world of today,
(00:04:12):
but sometimes it’s really ridiculous,
(00:04:14):
you know,
(00:04:15):
and I cannot understand this.
(00:04:18):
But you need to invent some news, you know.
(00:04:20):
You know better than me, you are that part of this discussion, you know.
(00:04:27):
We’ve just lost a video.
(00:04:27):
Is there any chance it will continue?
(00:04:31):
Can I also just go back to Rich Armisen.
(00:04:38):
I was wondering if I could get a bit of an insight into what he gives you in a
(00:04:42):
tactical sense,
(00:04:42):
kind of playing up front.
(00:04:43):
Does he allow you to go more direct?
(00:04:48):
Yeah, I think he’s a player who can give most of him in central position.
(00:04:54):
Even his pass was playing on the sides, but I believe that more close to the box, he’s better.
(00:05:04):
In a psychological sense,
(00:05:07):
Richarlison really plays with emotion and really connects with the fans.
(00:05:14):
Yeah, he’s a good guy and care.
(00:05:16):
I didn’t know him from outside, with his tattoo and everything.
(00:05:25):
He can be a really amazing guy, very calm, very caring for the squad.
(00:05:35):
He’s very willing to help the teammates, always very generous with the way he plays.
(00:05:41):
I’m happy to have him.
