00:00I know we've spoken about injuries, and in previous games I know it's been brought up
00:04with you about injuries of the opposition and players that they might be missing,
00:08do you feel that your injuries have been a bit underplayed so far this season,
00:12given that you seem to have overcome them very well?
00:15I think in general people only talk about injuries if the results are not there,
00:20so it's a good thing that nobody talked about our injuries,
00:23that means that we got our results in,
00:26but the moment you start to lose it's about a kick-off time on a Saturday afternoon,
00:32or it's about injuries, or we always come up with certain ideas why we didn't win,
00:39but nine or ten times it's about the quality of the players from the other team or their game plan.
00:44But we do have some very important players for us being injured,
00:48but if the replacements do so well it's normal that people don't talk about it that much.
00:55But, yeah, it is true that missing Alisson, who has been a starter for this club
01:01and has been so important for this club for so long,
01:04missing Djoko Djota, missing Trent in the last two games,
01:08those are players that have had an impact a lot on the results in recent years.
01:13But it's a good thing that we don't talk about it, I think.
