00:00Hi Ruben, there was always going to be a bit of a calm down on Thursday night, but you
00:16etched that for large periods and you were frustrated by the way it panned out.
00:20Yeah, if you look at the game, we were the better team, but in the end it doesn't matter,
00:26because if we don't score goals, nothing matters, because in the end it's the result that counts,
00:32especially in these kind of moments, so we create a lot of chances, we have the game,
00:38we control the game, we block some good players from the opponent and then one set pieces,
00:46change the game and that's it, it's really frustrating to end the game like this.
00:56We will address that in the end, of course we have a plan and we talk about that every day,
01:11but the season is not over, so let's focus on that.
01:15What do you say to the fans who are looking for something positive?
01:20Obviously Thursday was phenomenal and nobody will forget it, but then when they watch this game,
01:26they kind of look at it and think, what do we have that would make that a good team?
01:32Yeah, we say to the fans the truth, that we lack a lot of things in our team,
01:38that we miss chances, that if we don't score goals we are not going to win,
01:45and we have a lot to do and to focus on improving the team and step by step,
01:52and understanding that until the end of the league it's going to be like this and then we need to do something.
02:00Ruben, just on Rasmus, is it a confidence issue with him at the moment?
02:05And I know your options are limited with Josh being injured,
02:09but is there becoming an argument to maybe take him out of the spotlight?
02:12Because it feels like there's no hiding place for him at the moment.
02:15No, I think if you look at the games, we have several players that miss big chances, not just Rasmus.
02:27But Rasmus, of course, the game for Rasmus is to score goals because he's a striker.
02:32But it's a team thing. I've already said that. Our team should score more goals.
02:38It's not just Rasmus that are missing chances, it's all the team.
02:42Ruben, how do you think Tyler and Fredrickson did today?
02:45And with the kids that are going to have to play now, between now and the end of the team,
02:48is there a chance for some of them maybe to, who wouldn't be necessarily in the sport for next year,
02:52or might you think that there is a chance and they deserve to have a spot?
02:57That I don't know. Again, the season is not over.
03:01What I felt today is that they deserved a better memory from their first games.
03:06Tyler played really well. Also Amas played really well.
03:12And they deserved better.
03:15Because we were the better team. We play well, create chances.
03:20But in the end, again, one opportunity for the opponent, they score.
03:25In the memories, it's not the best for these kids, but they play quite well.
03:31Just on Rasmus again, I get it that you say it's a team game,
03:35but at the moment he seems to have a bit of the weight of the world on his shoulders.
03:40He just kind of needs that goal to lift him.
03:42How do you maintain his spirit when he's not scoring?
03:45The only way I know is to work on him, show him the videos.
03:52Like you said, he needs to score a goal. He will not score if he's out.
03:56So I try to manage that during games.
04:01But he needs to score one. Maybe that's all a striker needs.
04:06Last question, Dave.
04:08You said you need to score more goals.
04:10Did this game underline the fact that you need to recruit a proven goalscorer this summer?
04:15That is your priority?
04:17I think, again, it's a team thing.
04:20Of course, we have an idea what this team needs.
04:24But also the guys, we play with at least three guys in front so they can score goals.
04:31We play the midfielders that can reach and you see it today in the game.
04:35So all the team needs to score more goals and you have opportunities with the midfielders, with the striker.
04:42We need to improve as a team.
04:44Because if you don't score goals in this league, it's impossible to win games.
