TIMESTAMPS
00:00 Intro
00:10 We want to qualify but when you're in a bad run you need victories. I believe what everyone wants in that dressing room is not only to qualify but also win the match. In football anything can happen but the reality is that a 4-1 victory away from home is good. It's not about losing 3-0 or 2-0 though."
2:00 Gareth Bale doesn't need to convince me. It's about playing the minutes I would love him to play. It's a process. You see the number of matches he played in previous years. He had a positive impact, he had a cross, a couple of assists, he had a shot, he hit the post. He's doing that better but he's not playing 90 minutes. We are managing his evolution. He has nothing to convince me of. Gareth is playing the minutes that he feels he can and what he wants and we want is to play more matches than he did and more crucial matches than he did.
4:50 It's positive in the negative that you say I'm not used to this, but I want to know which coach has always had blue sky and never cloudy or a bit dark. Perhaps only a coach who is always at a dominant club in a league. It shows how beautiful my career has been. Does it make me depressed? No. It's a challenge. I work for the club, the players and the supporters. I always feel I have to give them so much. It hurts me and it's a great challenge for me and I believe I can give it. I give it everywhere I've been and I'm more motivated than ever. I never felt what normally coaches felt when the results are bad, they are lonely men. That's what we normally are. I never felt that in this building. I feel not only respected but supported. Everybody in the same boat. Nobody is happy but nobody is depressed. I feel positive. Maybe a bit weird for you after losing so many matches but I'm positive. I'm not happy but I wake up wanting to come here. Everybody is loving training and working hard with so many matches."
8:40 My relationship wiht Mr Levy is the same since day one which is one of respect and open communication. We respect each other. There is no contradiction between us because we both feel the same. I believe we all feel the same feelings. Nobody is happy, nobody is depressed and everybody feels we are going to do better. I don't know if debt is the right word. What I feel to Mr Levy is what I feel in every club I've worked in. I want to give happiness to everyone, the chairman, the players, the fans, everybody connected to the club. I feel one of them and I want to give happiness to them. I don't change."
14:10 fans back? We will wait for the authorities to take the right decisions
16:30 Maybe this weekend one of my colleagues went a bit far in his words but it's not Jose Mourinho so it's not a big problem. Have to be careful not to say the wrong things after a defeat.
21:25 Toby didn't play against West Ham but tomorrow he will play, that's obvious
22:55 Thank god I'm not the manager I was. We all evolve. Sometimes I had problems, not in terms of results as I didn't have many
