00:00Erling Haaland and then there's the rest, but the rest include Stryker you're up against tomorrow, Chris Wood.
00:06What's your appreciation of him technically?
00:09You know, he's had a fantastic season. He's scoring lots of goals. How do you see him in the standing of overall Stryker?
00:16I think the numbers speak for itself and Stryker is always the first you see is how many goals and the fact he's there
00:22but it's not just that so they link with him many times and
00:27from there create something so
00:30He's a strong really really strong Stryker and when they live close to the box good finishing is so dangerous
00:38So they're really well in Burnley
00:40The impact in the beginning in Newcastle was good, but at the end
00:45You know with moving to Forest and look what happened
00:49Do you think technically that's suited him to play in that role for Forest a more
00:54central
00:56Long Stryker playing in that system. In which system? Chris Wood. In that system. Do you think it suits him?
01:03Yeah, absolutely
01:05Look the results. He's a pure pure Stryker, you know the movement the far post and
01:12Diagonal balls from the keeper or centre defender always effective. Yeah, no doubt about that
01:17I
01:22Mean clearly you don't want to speak about Jack what he does off the pitch
01:28But on the pitch, it's been a difficult season for him
01:32It's a World Cup next year
01:33I'm sure he desperately wants to be part of it and a lot of people suggest that if he's not getting the game time here
01:40He might come and look
01:43For a move in the summer
01:44Would you be do you understand what would be his frustration and not getting the game time ahead of a World Cup year?
01:51crucial names of squads here I
01:54Understand all the frustrations all my players
01:57So it's so good. I have a dream to play the World Cup and the European Cup with his
02:02national team with his country
02:05Will be concerned it would be otherwise. So I'm not bad about that what happened in the end of the season
02:12No terms of Jack for for everyone. So we'll be treated at the end of the season now
02:17We are playing for many important things for the club for the future and for them
02:21So there's no doubt about that. Or of course, I want the best no Jack for everyone
02:25So Jack play a really good the last game and and hopefully can have the consistency. You think he'd be best
02:32Served by staying here and fighting to get more games. He's a play for Man City
02:37So there's no doubt about that. So what happened? I don't know what's going to happen
02:41so
02:47Is Jack's performance against Forrest earlier in the season that is that the kind of output you expect from him
02:54regularly
02:56Possibly as best game as a long time ago. I
02:59Won I won a Jack of course
03:00I want to Jack the best but you have a set the back sometimes we didn't play bus and that's for the injuries
03:06You cannot get the rhythm that you need to be every three days ready
03:10Because you mentioned his fitness last week is this week been is is is he ready for tomorrow and yeah
03:18He's ready. He's fit. Which is a bone. Yeah, it hasn't happened. Yeah, I was seven days, too
03:23You know for the last game seven days. So yeah, everybody's
03:31But just on
03:33Just the pictures of Jeff and the other day
03:37If you are you all right with that as a manager that he's got two days off he can do whatever he wants you've
03:46They know what they have to do see the obvious day of is no training they are a private life they will do
03:52Whatever they want
03:55I'm not going to control what they do in the private life
03:57So I judge we have to see what the pitch the training sessions in the performance in the game
04:03That's what I judge the judge the players
04:07and with the
04:09Just with the defenders and the sort of injuries you've got a center-half
04:12Are there any players in the squad that you think you could drop back into that position if you needed to?
04:21Nico for a stature, but
04:23Just arrive, you know have to that certain process in one position change a lot
04:29Wow, we have more problems in that position maybe but we have him we have a
04:36Jamal play few a lot this season. We have Max Delaney that we trust a lot on him. So
04:43Two players for the academy. They're doing really well in the in the youth youth club youth competition in the
04:50Midweek, so yeah, we have two central defenders plus the truth Academy
04:54I
04:57Bet the players you signed in January have been needed to come into the first team straight away
05:02Really have they helped kind of freshen up the the group and the squad that you see in training as well
05:08The new players will bring something like when we are nine years. It's different to bring of course
05:13They want to play here. They are incredible focus and have a training
05:16So you realize when you arrive in one place and everything is new
05:21You are incredible focus and you have a dream to you know to make a good impact
05:26not just in the team in the English football and
05:29Of course, they are there and and we have seen it. So
05:33both the minutes they play because Victor play
05:37in a in a tough game in Orient for the pitch and the conditions for the opponent they play and
05:43Except the first minutes. They behave really well and today the last game
05:47against a striker from
05:49From Plymouth was so strong. He handled it really well, but of course still there are a few things especially ball that
05:56Need time to know to improve and realize
05:59Just a lot of people ask sort of how how you keep going in your 10th year here. You've won so much
06:07Do the new faces kind of help to give you motivation as well?
06:14Yeah new players always give you a boost you cannot disappoint them
06:20They have an opinion on you from external and you don't want to be a match you want to be serious
06:24You have to be professional you wanted to try to help them
06:29Yeah, but this it's question of time I would like to have the old players
06:34Turn eternal, you know for all the time, but it's not possible
06:38And it happened for not just the players the managers the staff backroom staff
06:44The people change is normal
06:47Hi Pep
06:49You've always had a nightmare with injuries this season really bad
06:52Look, I know you've got these four new players
06:54You may may add some new ones in the summer
06:56But do you think we're now generally in an era of football where?
06:59Each season is gonna be a lot of injuries at all clubs because of the sort of schedule
07:03I mean is that just sort of part of the deal now, do you think?
07:07You spoke a lot lately
07:10It will be even worse
07:12Why would it be even worse you think?
07:14But the body I said many times has a limit
07:19When you have one week
07:21You have more time to recover. You are more fresh
07:24Mentally and everything we have three weeks during 11 months plus 11 months plus 11 months plus 11 months
07:29So at the end of the club either club the body
07:32From my point of view. I'm not a doctor. I'm not a science, but I had the feeling that
07:38The moment say it's enough
07:40So with you being in the world through the Club World Cup in mid-june maybe mid-july
07:47How difficult after that to recover oh, they told me the golf courses are really nice
07:52In America you mean yeah
07:55You're gonna play some
07:57In my back allow it
07:59Absolutely. Do you have any plus fours? I draw really well the ball
08:03I'm a problem with the patch, but you know, I'll practice. Yeah, we're going to
08:11To try to you know to enjoy the experience so after 11 months being there
08:16I don't think about it to bring the players 24 hours in the room thinking in the next game
08:20So we're going to training, but I want to let them free of course they had to behave well
08:25Otherwise we'll be in trouble
08:27But yeah, I had to have fun and play the games as best as possible for this new experience
08:33To do it
08:34You guys thank you
