WEBVTT

00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:03.640
Right, straight into it, bow. Hello and welcome

00:00:03.640 --> 00:00:07.580
to HYBR1D Powered by chinkseyMEDIA. Right, I'm

00:00:07.580 --> 00:00:11.099
here for every word from Arteta's post -Olympiakos

00:00:11.099 --> 00:00:15.000
presser. There was plenty for Mikel Arteta to

00:00:15.000 --> 00:00:17.920
discuss after we beat Olympiakos 2 -0 in our

00:00:17.920 --> 00:00:20.980
first home Champions League game of the season.

00:00:21.300 --> 00:00:24.219
In his post -match press conference, he was asked

00:00:24.219 --> 00:00:27.059
about the performance, Martin Odegaard's display,

00:00:27.280 --> 00:00:34.649
squad depth, On his thoughts on our win tonight.

00:00:35.030 --> 00:00:37.810
Well, very happy. Obviously, winning the Champions

00:00:37.810 --> 00:00:40.850
League is always very complicated. Keeping another

00:00:40.850 --> 00:00:44.810
clean sheet, we make something like 11 in 14

00:00:44.810 --> 00:00:48.409
games, which is remarkable from the boys. I think

00:00:48.409 --> 00:00:51.689
we started the game really well. I think we looked

00:00:51.689 --> 00:00:56.829
a real threat. Really dynamic. Really playing

00:00:56.829 --> 00:01:01.130
forwards around a lot of threats. Generally,

00:01:01.130 --> 00:01:03.810
to the goal, another two or three big chances

00:01:03.810 --> 00:01:06.890
and we don't put them away in this competition.

00:01:07.909 --> 00:01:11.609
You have to be careful. The first arrival, David

00:01:11.609 --> 00:01:14.469
had to make an incredible save to deny the goal,

00:01:14.609 --> 00:01:17.790
which you need in this competition as well. And

00:01:17.790 --> 00:01:20.890
after that, we had moments of a lot of dominance,

00:01:20.989 --> 00:01:24.349
as you said, and some others. that without control

00:01:24.349 --> 00:01:27.549
and dominating in a direct play we got a little

00:01:27.549 --> 00:01:30.790
bit deeper and every time they put balls in the

00:01:30.790 --> 00:01:33.489
box with the crosses it's a team that is very

00:01:33.489 --> 00:01:37.049
very dangerous at the end again missed two big

00:01:37.049 --> 00:01:39.950
chances but at the end found a way with bakayo

00:01:39.950 --> 00:01:42.329
to score a goal and breathe a little bit in the

00:01:42.329 --> 00:01:45.250
first few minutes because it's a team that ended

00:01:45.250 --> 00:01:49.969
the game really well I think they won five already

00:01:49.969 --> 00:01:53.150
this season in the last few minutes and we discussed

00:01:53.150 --> 00:01:55.310
that they were going to keep believing until

00:01:55.310 --> 00:01:57.730
the end and they made it difficult until the

00:01:57.730 --> 00:02:02.409
end. Yeah, very lengthy response there from Mikel.

00:02:02.549 --> 00:02:07.569
But to summarise that, I would say the first

00:02:07.569 --> 00:02:10.409
half was good. The second half, it reminded me

00:02:10.409 --> 00:02:13.870
of the Shakhtar Donetsk result in the Champions

00:02:13.870 --> 00:02:16.830
League this time last season, probably the beginning

00:02:16.830 --> 00:02:20.620
of the year. Where we had 1 -1 -0. We ended up

00:02:20.620 --> 00:02:23.740
hanging on for that one. This one we somewhat

00:02:23.740 --> 00:02:25.780
hung on. Didn't play well in the second half.

00:02:26.099 --> 00:02:30.240
A bit pedestrian. A bit probably complacent.

00:02:30.240 --> 00:02:33.300
I feel like we didn't put the goal away in the

00:02:33.300 --> 00:02:35.439
first half. And it almost came back to bite us.

00:02:36.240 --> 00:02:39.219
Olympiacos did put a lot of balls into our box.

00:02:39.460 --> 00:02:42.599
Looked dangerous on crosses. Grew in belief as

00:02:42.599 --> 00:02:46.780
the game wore on. They're not used to losing,

00:02:46.860 --> 00:02:51.300
so for us to inflict their first defeat of the

00:02:51.300 --> 00:02:57.879
season, if I'm not wrong, is a good result. A

00:02:57.879 --> 00:03:00.319
2 -0 win, most people would have probably predicted

00:03:00.319 --> 00:03:03.419
2 or 3 -0, is a good result. Another clean sheet,

00:03:03.680 --> 00:03:06.120
another three points on the board in the Champions

00:03:06.120 --> 00:03:11.520
League, and we move onwards and upwards towards

00:03:11.520 --> 00:03:17.699
more difficult challenges ahead. On Odegaard's

00:03:17.699 --> 00:03:21.000
performance, he's got all the licence in the

00:03:21.000 --> 00:03:23.879
world to go forward, Martin, and to play with

00:03:23.879 --> 00:03:26.439
that freedom and to play with that level of threat

00:03:26.439 --> 00:03:29.680
especially. Not only with the passes, but the

00:03:29.680 --> 00:03:32.439
way he was taking the ball, carrying the ball,

00:03:32.580 --> 00:03:35.280
making runs and arriving in really dangerous

00:03:35.280 --> 00:03:39.139
areas. I think he put three people through today

00:03:39.139 --> 00:03:41.479
to score a goal. He should have scored a goal

00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:44.289
as well. So great to have him back. He played

00:03:44.289 --> 00:03:46.650
some very good minutes in Newcastle to help us

00:03:46.650 --> 00:03:49.629
to win the game. And I think today he was phenomenal.

00:03:50.830 --> 00:03:54.069
Yes, it's interesting because the two players

00:03:54.069 --> 00:03:58.610
that have been much maligned in recent months,

00:03:58.810 --> 00:04:02.909
maybe last year or so, have been Martinelli and

00:04:02.909 --> 00:04:06.150
Martin Odegaard. And one of them got the opener

00:04:06.150 --> 00:04:09.099
for us. and the other got the Man of the Match

00:04:09.099 --> 00:04:12.439
award. Obviously, the aforementioned Martin Odegaard

00:04:12.439 --> 00:04:15.539
was exceptional today. The through balls he was

00:04:15.539 --> 00:04:20.420
putting in should have been converted. He's carried

00:04:20.420 --> 00:04:23.860
on his form from Sunday at Newcastle, where he

00:04:23.860 --> 00:04:25.500
was exceptional as well when he came off the

00:04:25.500 --> 00:04:29.759
bench. And today, he was back to his best, essentially.

00:04:30.379 --> 00:04:33.639
So, for me, I think he's played himself back

00:04:33.639 --> 00:04:38.310
into the starting XI. For Saturday at West Ham.

00:04:38.769 --> 00:04:42.509
So it'll be interesting to see where Eze plays.

00:04:42.910 --> 00:04:46.209
If he plays. I'm sure he will. I'm probably going

00:04:46.209 --> 00:04:50.189
to say Eze will probably play on the left wing.

00:04:50.329 --> 00:04:54.269
With Odegaard, Rice and Marino in midfield. And

00:04:54.269 --> 00:04:56.790
then obviously Jokeres and Saka on the wings.

00:04:56.870 --> 00:04:59.730
Which means Gabriel Martinelli will miss out.

00:04:59.829 --> 00:05:04.290
But he had the full 90 today if I'm not wrong.

00:05:04.720 --> 00:05:06.879
But he played a substantial amount of football

00:05:06.879 --> 00:05:11.220
today anyway. Martin Eli does. On the depth in

00:05:11.220 --> 00:05:13.879
our squad this season. Yeah, with all respect,

00:05:14.000 --> 00:05:17.399
last season we were looking and we had five academy

00:05:17.399 --> 00:05:21.759
players that probably had never played professional

00:05:21.759 --> 00:05:24.779
football in the Champions League. So yeah, it

00:05:24.779 --> 00:05:27.740
makes a difference. Today we decided to change

00:05:27.740 --> 00:05:30.939
six players, I think it was, because I want everybody

00:05:30.939 --> 00:05:34.879
to be really involved and feel part of it. And

00:05:34.879 --> 00:05:37.139
it was great. And we had the feeling as well

00:05:37.139 --> 00:05:39.800
that physically we were dropping because we played

00:05:39.800 --> 00:05:42.540
a really intense match in Newcastle a few days

00:05:42.540 --> 00:05:45.699
ago. The ones that came in again, they lifted

00:05:45.699 --> 00:05:47.800
the level and they helped us to win the game.

00:05:48.079 --> 00:05:50.759
And that's great. Yeah, I mean, yesterday, I'm

00:05:50.759 --> 00:05:53.660
pretty sure I mentioned that if I was to make

00:05:53.660 --> 00:05:56.879
changes, it would be the fullbacks. And unsurprisingly,

00:05:57.120 --> 00:06:00.379
Miles Lewis, Skelly and Ben White came in. Having

00:06:00.379 --> 00:06:03.240
said that, Ben White wasn't at his best today.

00:06:05.139 --> 00:06:07.439
The Olympiacos swinger gave him problems. Daniel

00:06:07.439 --> 00:06:10.480
Pedence, I think, formerly of Wolverhampton Wanderers,

00:06:10.519 --> 00:06:13.500
was looking really good. I mean, seeing him up

00:06:13.500 --> 00:06:18.639
close and personal, he is short, short. I mean,

00:06:18.720 --> 00:06:22.920
bordering on a dwarfism, no offence. But, yeah,

00:06:23.040 --> 00:06:24.920
because I had a good seat right at the centre

00:06:24.920 --> 00:06:28.060
circle today, right in the midfield level. So

00:06:28.060 --> 00:06:30.759
I saw the players up close and personal. One

00:06:30.759 --> 00:06:33.759
other thing I would like to note is how... Big

00:06:33.759 --> 00:06:37.660
and strong Myles Lewis Skelly is in great physical

00:06:37.660 --> 00:06:42.060
shape for someone that's just turned 19. But

00:06:42.060 --> 00:06:44.980
yeah, it's good to give some players some minutes.

00:06:45.240 --> 00:06:49.079
Obviously, Martinelli came in. Odegaard came

00:06:49.079 --> 00:06:53.139
in from the start. Marino started the game. Rice

00:06:53.139 --> 00:06:56.420
was given a rest. So, good squad rotation. Obviously,

00:06:56.759 --> 00:07:01.180
Jokeres played the full match. Yeah, on Saturday,

00:07:01.220 --> 00:07:05.220
I expect to see Timber coming, Calafiori possibly

00:07:05.220 --> 00:07:10.019
coming, Eze coming, Rice coming, Saka coming.

00:07:10.220 --> 00:07:13.120
So, top players ready to come in and win that

00:07:13.120 --> 00:07:16.660
game on Saturday. On Gabriel's fitness after

00:07:16.660 --> 00:07:19.579
coming off, yeah, I think he's going to be okay.

00:07:19.620 --> 00:07:23.100
He felt something. I think it was a kick, I'm

00:07:23.100 --> 00:07:26.459
not sure. In the first half, he was a little

00:07:26.459 --> 00:07:28.879
bit uncomfortable and towards the second half,

00:07:29.000 --> 00:07:31.899
he was there. He should carry on, but we decided

00:07:31.899 --> 00:07:34.300
not to take any risks because he's played a lot

00:07:34.300 --> 00:07:36.939
of games. He's coming from a long -term injury

00:07:36.939 --> 00:07:40.120
as well. And we need to look after him. Yeah,

00:07:40.160 --> 00:07:45.579
Gabriel Magalhaes was... He went down today with

00:07:45.579 --> 00:07:48.100
an injury, but he was taken off as a precaution.

00:07:48.319 --> 00:07:52.709
And obviously, the evergreen... Ever so fantastic

00:07:52.709 --> 00:07:56.610
young defender in Christopher Mosquera came in

00:07:56.610 --> 00:07:59.730
and was an able, more than able, deputy. Didn't

00:07:59.730 --> 00:08:02.189
put a foot wrong. Another clean sheet alongside

00:08:02.189 --> 00:08:04.769
William Saliba, who signed a new contract earlier

00:08:04.769 --> 00:08:08.250
in the week. So, I mean, even if Gabriel was

00:08:08.250 --> 00:08:11.410
to not feature against West Ham, although I think

00:08:11.410 --> 00:08:14.209
he'll be alright, we've got an able replacement,

00:08:14.670 --> 00:08:20.459
Mosquera. On the history between Arsenal... and

00:08:20.459 --> 00:08:23.899
olympiakos well i don't know there are stats

00:08:23.899 --> 00:08:26.959
and hopefully we broke that one which wasn't

00:08:26.959 --> 00:08:30.480
a very positive one credit to them i think the

00:08:30.480 --> 00:08:33.039
atmosphere they created as well with the away

00:08:33.039 --> 00:08:36.679
fans i think it was incredible i talk about the

00:08:36.679 --> 00:08:40.289
manager i know really well as a team That through

00:08:40.289 --> 00:08:42.590
their simplicity, they became really, really

00:08:42.590 --> 00:08:44.889
efficient at what they do. And we knew that.

00:08:44.950 --> 00:08:48.009
And they presented a very tough game, as we expected.

00:08:48.470 --> 00:08:51.049
Yeah, I mean, it was a tricky game. Obviously,

00:08:51.129 --> 00:08:55.750
to be fair, I'll give Olympiakos credit for not

00:08:55.750 --> 00:09:00.429
just sitting back in a low block. They actually

00:09:00.429 --> 00:09:03.309
attacked us, grew in confidence, stayed in the

00:09:03.309 --> 00:09:06.750
game. They made Raya make a few top world -class

00:09:06.750 --> 00:09:09.980
saves in that game. They made at least two. But

00:09:09.980 --> 00:09:13.360
they gave us a really good game. They remained

00:09:13.360 --> 00:09:19.279
competitive, which was very interesting. But

00:09:19.279 --> 00:09:22.120
yeah, with regards to their away fans, they had

00:09:22.120 --> 00:09:25.940
a great camaraderie between them. They had some

00:09:25.940 --> 00:09:28.399
good chants. They created a good atmosphere there.

00:09:28.440 --> 00:09:33.950
It was really good to see the Greek fans. literally

00:09:33.950 --> 00:09:36.370
just come back from Greece a few months ago so

00:09:36.370 --> 00:09:41.389
yes a country that I respect a lot on Jokeres

00:09:41.389 --> 00:09:46.990
chasing his next goal okay this is going to be

00:09:46.990 --> 00:09:55.909
an interesting one right so Victor Jokeres what

00:09:55.909 --> 00:09:58.690
I sense is that he's doing better and better

00:09:59.289 --> 00:10:02.250
Things every game. And today he was denied a

00:10:02.250 --> 00:10:05.509
few times on one of the blocks and then he hit

00:10:05.509 --> 00:10:08.049
the post. But I think overall his performance

00:10:08.049 --> 00:10:11.169
was exceptional. Again, his work was really good.

00:10:11.250 --> 00:10:14.190
And yeah, we want him to be scoring goals. But

00:10:14.190 --> 00:10:17.190
if he doesn't do that, at least to do everything

00:10:17.190 --> 00:10:19.690
as he's doing for the team because he's helping

00:10:19.690 --> 00:10:23.309
the team a lot. Yeah, I mentioned yesterday that

00:10:23.309 --> 00:10:27.509
Victor Jokeres, you know, he probably needs a

00:10:27.509 --> 00:10:31.659
goal now. I make that 3 -8 if I'm not wrong.

00:10:32.360 --> 00:10:37.179
So we come up against West Ham on Saturday. And

00:10:37.179 --> 00:10:40.840
I'm sure he's going to be itching to score his

00:10:40.840 --> 00:10:43.460
fourth goal for the football club. And that would

00:10:43.460 --> 00:10:46.779
be another home goal. So I think I want to see

00:10:46.779 --> 00:10:49.159
him score against West Ham. And I also want to

00:10:49.159 --> 00:10:51.759
see him score away from home as well. So the

00:10:51.759 --> 00:10:54.200
next opportunity to do that will be at Craven

00:10:54.200 --> 00:11:00.350
Cottage against Arsenal Light. On whether the

00:11:00.350 --> 00:11:02.750
floodgates will open for Jokeres once he scores

00:11:02.750 --> 00:11:05.889
again. I don't know, but hopefully yes. And hopefully

00:11:05.889 --> 00:11:08.389
it will be on Saturday. So yeah, that's just

00:11:08.389 --> 00:11:11.610
Arteta literally concurring with what I said.

00:11:11.730 --> 00:11:14.289
Hopefully he'll score on Saturday against West

00:11:14.289 --> 00:11:17.750
Ham. On Martin Odegaard's creative actions tonight.

00:11:17.909 --> 00:11:21.429
I think we have to play in our qualities. And

00:11:21.429 --> 00:11:23.769
we have a front three with that pace as well.

00:11:24.190 --> 00:11:27.759
With those timings in the runs. and we have players

00:11:27.759 --> 00:11:30.740
we can activate, and we have to do that 100%.

00:11:30.740 --> 00:11:34.080
He did it in Newcastle a few times in 15 minutes,

00:11:34.320 --> 00:11:37.779
and that's a game that I want for him. Well,

00:11:37.980 --> 00:11:42.179
when you say players with pace up front, certainly

00:11:42.179 --> 00:11:47.039
Martinelli has pace, as does Victor Jokeres to

00:11:47.039 --> 00:11:50.500
an extent. However, Trossard's more of a ball

00:11:50.500 --> 00:11:53.500
-to -feet, dribble -dribble type of guy. He didn't

00:11:53.500 --> 00:11:56.259
have the best of games today. His finishing was

00:11:56.259 --> 00:12:00.720
a bit off. His radar was a bit off. But obviously,

00:12:00.879 --> 00:12:04.700
for me, I think we're going to see a period where

00:12:04.700 --> 00:12:08.559
now Trossard will be on the bench and would have

00:12:08.559 --> 00:12:13.039
to now come on as an impact sub. I think Arteta

00:12:13.039 --> 00:12:17.620
has just used this game to kind of give him minutes,

00:12:17.659 --> 00:12:19.960
save the players that will actually play on Saturday

00:12:19.960 --> 00:12:25.450
in a game we need to win. And yeah. And also,

00:12:25.470 --> 00:12:27.470
obviously, to give everyone an opportunity to

00:12:27.470 --> 00:12:31.309
play because it's a strong squad. On Lewis Skelly's

00:12:31.309 --> 00:12:34.500
performance. Very good. I think he played a really,

00:12:34.559 --> 00:12:37.220
really good game. Every level, defensively and

00:12:37.220 --> 00:12:40.220
attacking. And he looked really focused. He understood

00:12:40.220 --> 00:12:43.240
really well when to take chances, when to keep

00:12:43.240 --> 00:12:45.820
the game flowing. And very simple. And I'm pleased

00:12:45.820 --> 00:12:48.740
with what I've seen today. Yeah, I agree. Myles

00:12:48.740 --> 00:12:51.620
Loskelly didn't put a foot wrong. Some good trademark

00:12:51.620 --> 00:12:56.259
runs. Very robust, tough, sturdy, but with quality.

00:12:56.440 --> 00:13:00.000
So he mixes the good physical elements and attributes

00:13:00.000 --> 00:13:05.909
with technical. quality which is very rare in

00:13:05.909 --> 00:13:10.049
a player to have the physical because usually

00:13:10.049 --> 00:13:12.570
a player's more on one side they're more either

00:13:12.570 --> 00:13:14.909
more physical or more technical however he is

00:13:14.909 --> 00:13:18.110
a fantastic combination between the two played

00:13:18.110 --> 00:13:21.169
really well some good runs i like the way he

00:13:21.169 --> 00:13:25.870
draws fouls protects the ball well and um and

00:13:25.870 --> 00:13:27.970
knows when to release it as arteta did mention

00:13:27.970 --> 00:13:33.720
on odegaard's challenge of being a leader and

00:13:33.720 --> 00:13:37.399
a creator. I think that creativity part is his

00:13:37.399 --> 00:13:40.120
nature. So it doesn't bring any pressure to him

00:13:40.120 --> 00:13:42.659
because it's his best ability to generate things

00:13:42.659 --> 00:13:46.179
that not a lot of players can do. And he has

00:13:46.179 --> 00:13:49.679
that total freedom from my side to do and to

00:13:49.679 --> 00:13:53.419
explore and to tailor his content and to fill.

00:13:54.009 --> 00:13:56.710
The moment and where he needs to generate those

00:13:56.710 --> 00:13:59.149
spaces, and I think he's certainly done that

00:13:59.149 --> 00:14:01.750
in the last two games. Well, one thing I would

00:14:01.750 --> 00:14:04.210
say is the fact that we've got other similarly

00:14:04.210 --> 00:14:07.990
creative players in and around him means he has

00:14:07.990 --> 00:14:11.610
more space automatically. The same goes for Bukayo

00:14:11.610 --> 00:14:16.110
Saka, who actually scored his goal tonight from

00:14:16.110 --> 00:14:18.450
the left because he switched with Eze, which

00:14:18.450 --> 00:14:20.570
is something I haven't seen in years. Bukayo

00:14:20.570 --> 00:14:23.769
Saka on the left wing. Abreche Eze playing on

00:14:23.769 --> 00:14:26.750
the right was a bit of a strange one, but I'd

00:14:26.750 --> 00:14:29.350
like to see Arteta mix up the tactics a bit.

00:14:30.429 --> 00:14:34.210
Something less predictable and that was definitely

00:14:34.210 --> 00:14:38.250
Saka being the left. As for Odegaard, so as I

00:14:38.250 --> 00:14:41.009
mentioned, because we've got so many good attacking

00:14:41.009 --> 00:14:43.990
players, you can't really double up on him, giving

00:14:43.990 --> 00:14:47.090
him more space. And the fact he's getting more

00:14:47.090 --> 00:14:50.110
space will allow him to do what he does best,

00:14:50.250 --> 00:14:53.509
which is kind of create. as the manager did allude

00:14:53.509 --> 00:14:57.750
to. On the importance of protecting players with

00:14:57.750 --> 00:15:01.350
rotation, yes, especially with Bukayo, because

00:15:01.350 --> 00:15:04.110
he comes from a long -time injury. He's played

00:15:04.110 --> 00:15:07.129
45, 60, 70 minutes in a really short period,

00:15:07.330 --> 00:15:10.850
and today it was more risky, so we decided to

00:15:10.850 --> 00:15:13.809
keep him. Gabi did really well, and I think on

00:15:13.809 --> 00:15:16.750
the right as well, and with Deccan, because he

00:15:16.750 --> 00:15:20.759
had some incredible outputs three days ago. He's

00:15:20.759 --> 00:15:23.480
played so many games. He's going to have to play

00:15:23.480 --> 00:15:25.960
so many games as well. And it's great to have

00:15:25.960 --> 00:15:28.559
someone like Mikel come in and perform really

00:15:28.559 --> 00:15:31.600
well. And when we need a different profile, bring

00:15:31.600 --> 00:15:35.080
him in on the pitch. Well, I like the fact that

00:15:35.080 --> 00:15:37.299
he said he's going to have to play so many games.

00:15:37.399 --> 00:15:39.259
It's because he's expecting and anticipating

00:15:39.259 --> 00:15:46.659
to go far in the Cups because Declan will obviously...

00:15:48.230 --> 00:15:52.049
in every league game pretty much. I think he's

00:15:52.049 --> 00:15:54.110
got the fitness to be able to play every game

00:15:54.110 --> 00:15:56.929
anyway, but I think it's a case of keeping him

00:15:56.929 --> 00:15:59.710
fresh, rotating the squad just as Pep used to

00:15:59.710 --> 00:16:03.909
do. Pep would, in a certain Premier League game,

00:16:03.990 --> 00:16:06.649
you'll just see a top player on the bench and

00:16:06.649 --> 00:16:09.909
you'll be like, rah, you'll be perplexed, bemused,

00:16:10.110 --> 00:16:16.509
dumbfounded. Just as we saw Saliba on the bench

00:16:16.509 --> 00:16:19.230
on Sunday, I think now and again you can have

00:16:19.230 --> 00:16:22.350
a Saliba, Gabriel or Rice or Saka on the bench

00:16:22.350 --> 00:16:25.570
as we had today. Bring another top player in

00:16:25.570 --> 00:16:31.090
and still win the game. And we did. On facing

00:16:31.090 --> 00:16:36.370
his former coach, Jose Luis Mendilibar. Well,

00:16:36.549 --> 00:16:38.929
great to see him. So glad that he's doing so

00:16:38.929 --> 00:16:41.940
well. Very happy for him. And it's strange at

00:16:41.940 --> 00:16:45.419
the same moment because he was my coach. So when

00:16:45.419 --> 00:16:47.980
you have to play against your former coach, it's

00:16:47.980 --> 00:16:50.679
always something weird. I'm getting older, which

00:16:50.679 --> 00:16:53.220
I think is good. I learned a lot from him, from

00:16:53.220 --> 00:16:55.440
my time with him. And it was a good experience.

00:16:55.879 --> 00:16:58.419
Thank God we won the game. And I wish him all

00:16:58.419 --> 00:17:01.720
the best. Yeah, I mean, like I mentioned earlier,

00:17:01.840 --> 00:17:05.960
we inflicted Olympiacos. I need to double check

00:17:05.960 --> 00:17:08.839
whether it's their first defeat of the season.

00:17:09.799 --> 00:17:12.380
But they haven't lost in Greece anyway. So that's

00:17:12.380 --> 00:17:14.180
one thing I know for a fact because I follow

00:17:14.180 --> 00:17:16.900
the Greek league. However, it was a good result

00:17:16.900 --> 00:17:22.220
to beat them. Tougher tests await. I think this

00:17:22.220 --> 00:17:26.220
Champions League campaign has a storyline in

00:17:26.220 --> 00:17:28.460
most of the games. So one of which was today

00:17:28.460 --> 00:17:30.640
where Olympiakos knocked us out of the Europa

00:17:30.640 --> 00:17:33.599
League a couple of years ago when Pierre -Emerick

00:17:33.599 --> 00:17:35.960
Aubameyang missed that gilt -edged chance late

00:17:35.960 --> 00:17:42.380
on. Next up, we've got Atletico Madrid, who knocked

00:17:42.380 --> 00:17:47.680
us out of the Europa League in the semi -final,

00:17:47.700 --> 00:17:54.759
which was painful. Very painful. And then, obviously,

00:17:55.059 --> 00:17:58.279
you've got Inter Milan, who beat us last season

00:17:58.279 --> 00:18:01.660
with a penalty. That was a harsh decision. In

00:18:01.660 --> 00:18:04.819
a game we dominated anyway. And then, obviously...

00:18:06.019 --> 00:18:12.539
Last but not least. The old foes. Bayern München.

00:18:15.019 --> 00:18:17.059
That's the one I'm really looking forward to.

00:18:20.400 --> 00:18:21.140
One love.
