-TIMESTAMPS-
00:00 Intro
00:20 The update on injuries is short, it is only Mateo Kovacic we are missing. Everybody else is available and in the squad tomorrow
1:00 It is the best way to arrive in a CL match with a crucial win on our backs. It is a crucial experience we have in our luggage, it makes the bon strong and close. Tomorrow we need clearly a top level team performance
2:10 The experience is that we have together, we don't have to talk or convince them as a coach to be confident. This is what I feel, every match we are able to play at a high level. If we can't play our nicest match then we don't let our opponents play their best match. We ave a strong bond in the squad, I feel very involved. Ready to work and suffer together.
4:50 I trust 100 per cent in the referring and UEFA. I trust who they send at this level, you need the best referees. I trust them 100 per cent
5:45 We deserve to be in the semi final, like Real Madrid deserve to be. We have come a long way. Of course we deserve to play a semi final. If problems persist on a sports political level then they have to be solved at that level, not on the pitch. We deserve, through the competition, to be there.
7:20 Maybe the next level is to keep this level, don't drop it. I strongly believe in our squad. Maybe the next step is to keep the level and not over-expect to go to the next step.
8:45 I am a pretty lucky guy, a lucky man, I am very grateful. When I started in academy football, every day was different, I enjoyed every day with the under 14s then 15s, 19s. This was already a big gift.
11:45 New CL format next season? I am not sure if I like it. It's very hard for me to be excited about. I am not happy about it, not at all.
13:15 Be ourselves, that is the strategy. Rely on yourself, your strenghts and do the things that make you confident. Hoepfully we don't over-think and overdo it
14:10 Eden Hazard's return, He is a top quality player and a key player for many years at this club and this league, the hardest in the world. So consistent. I have the biggest respect for him. He is a big player, we have many people here who know him well.
16:10 Quality and commitment of the players who are ready to do the things that are neccessary to do to cover my teammate when he goes into a challenge, are you 100 per cent reliable? This is a huge effort that we put into the games, defending.
18:15 Message to neutral English fans who might want to see you fail after ESL debacle?
Really? They want to see us fail against Real Madrid? We all made mistakes, if you own the club tyou can make decisions that not everybody understands or likes, it does not change the game. I love this game so much, as does everybody in the dressing room. We are so excited for tomorrow's semi final.
