How powerful has this week been?

Powerful, for positive. Not simply due to final sport, however due to the interval and the previous. Not simple state of affairs, not a simple second and from different facet an enormous problem to alter issues. Like every part in life, you possibly can select the best way to see the state of affairs. So, you possibly can keep and cry or you possibly can struggle. You may be the sufferer or you possibly can say I can change one thing. That is the message I need to begin and what I instructed to the gamers.

Everybody talking, everybody has opinions and the life is all the time the way you see it. The bottle is all the time half empty or half full. Right here there may be nothing full, there may be numerous empty issues however troublesome moments don’t final perpetually. It’s going to move and I imagine the gamers who will take this as a problem, as a possibility will get up with the braveness to alter issues, after this era they’ll change into higher individuals and higher gamers.

So, in powerful moments it’s all the time about that, it’s all the time about us. Within the final interval, numerous issues about what’s the membership, the issues, nobody can do nothing and this like victim-ism, like we had been victims. I stated this morning to the gamers completely opposition issues. We’re the workforce and we’re the employees. It’s all about us. All of the bullsh**, all the opposite issues are bullsh** and sorry to make use of this phrase, nevertheless it’s on us.

Are gamers listening to this strategy?

You understand, I do every single day this work. Psychology work. It can be crucial additionally to provide the braveness to the team-mates. A few of them they can’t handle, for positive. Someplace you arrive and you may assist them. My aim is to search out if I can assist to do 18 gamers out of 20, 15? I do not know the way a lot? Generally you can not do something, however more often than not you are able to do even small adjustments. Small assist, you understand, you are able to do it, but additionally it is what I all the time wish to say to the gamers, do not be a sufferer. Do not assume it isn’t about me. You understand that may be the issue greater than all these items about Tottenham and membership, you understand, like magic on the membership, like unhealthy black magic and this different bullsh**, you understand. So that is about what I need to ship a message.

That’s your message to the gamers?

To everybody concerned with this membership.

To the house owners?

The possession is the possession. The membership is there. The proprietor is the proprietor. They’re all the time proper they usually do what they need with the membership. It’s all the time like that however the issues are of everybody. Not simply the participant or the coach or the employees it’s everybody’s downside.

Have you ever spoken to the hierarchy over the previous couple of days?

I communicate with the director and Vinai on a regular basis. We’re talking and sharing opinions.

Do they share your frustrations?

Everyone seems to be disillusioned. That is for positive. The gamers care. If you happen to don’t care, you don’t wrestle. Then you aren’t within the insecurity in the event you don’t care. You care after which it occurs that perhaps some conditions there’s a insecurity in conditions on the pitch that normally don’t occur. That can be a proof.

Micky van de Ven stated it has been a ‘horrible interval’ after the defeat to Atletico. How involved are you concerning the psychological well being of your gamers?

We try to assist them and supply every part we are able to from the membership. Like I used to be talking earlier than, there may be the one level. The opposite level is it’s a part of the job to be below stress and selected what you need to do. As I stated firstly, the identical reply I gave to your colleague I can use it right here, so it’s not simple however all good issues will not be simple. Message within the coaching (periods) is identical. At all times after we do some troublesome issues that’s the message. The appropriate and the most effective issues will not be simple.

Antonin Kinsky had a tricky evening. Do you could have any hesitation about taking part in him once more this season?

No, in fact he’ll play [this season] for positive. He got here again the day after and was superb in coaching. Optimistic. Nothing else. So this case occurred, very uncommon, most likely the primary and final time in my life and the lifetime of lots of people however this may occur. It’s the similar message I stated earlier than. You may exit from the state of affairs as a sufferer. ‘Poor me what occurred.’ All people sending a message of assist and I’m with you. That is good additionally.

Generally 2025 this social media life grew to become like it’s extra essential what you say than what you do. However as I stated earlier than, that is regular, it is a mistake that can occur. For positive in his profession there will likely be different errors however he has a energy and high quality and in entrance of him is an excellent profession.

Are Palhinha and Romero again for Liverpool?

No, no, no, they’re out. Micky can also be out, Bissouma is out, for the muscle tissues. Conor has some fever however most likely will likely be in. So, we’ve once more numerous issues to make first 11. That is how it’s on this membership. this occur on a regular basis. We begin to construct one thing, then occurs one thing, or a purple card, or final sport, or three or 4 accidents.

That is very uncommon that occurs in my profession. I by no means see these conditions. Each sport, lacking two gamers. The subsequent sport and a purple card. It is very uncommon, very uncommon, however we have to settle for this. And attempt to change the issues you possibly can change. On these stuff you can not do nothing.

Who’s discovering the state of affairs most troublesome?

Everybody. Everybody finds it troublesome, if you wish to discover it troublesome, and difficult if you wish to discover challenges. So, to provide measures, how a lot is one or two or three, that is not the purpose.

The state of affairs, how is it? You might want to see how you’ll look on this case. Like in life. In life, you may be proud of small issues, otherwise you may be sad and have virtually every part.

So, it isn’t about that. Life is about what’s sufficient for you. You select that. Soccer can also be a part of the life. So how you will notice the state of affairs, you select.”

Who are you able to lean on inside the membership?

We’re everybody collectively. I do not see any points in that route you go. We’re everybody collectively. We communicate, we work, we attempt to change issues. Every part is the issues we’re doing, doing in the appropriate manner.

I do not know the way a lot. I feel they are going to be again for positive for Nottingham Forest, perhaps even for the Champions League.

So it isn’t concussion then?

I do not know precisely. They most likely will likely be again.

(Spurs confirmed that Romero and Palhinha are present process concussion protocols and can proceed to be assessed below them following the Liverpool sport)

One thing’s unsuitable. Stunning man, lovely participant. I did not know him earlier than a lot, so from inside, he has my huge respect.

Was Vicario dropped for that match in Madrid, or was it simply rotation?

So I can clarify that state of affairs, what was the concept. The concept was to make [Kinsky] play, as a result of to start with, he is a superb goalkeeper, and seeing the state of affairs and the second we’re, for an extended interval, to provide some freshness on the ball, even in a unique competitors. So it was the concept firstly, however not after what occurred, you assume it was the appropriate factor to do.

Earlier than, it was the appropriate factor to do. Then what occurred occurred, then in fact it is just a little bit completely different.

Do you anticipate Vicario to come back again in, and the way is he from the standpoint?

He is good, he is good. He’ll be within the aim.

You have received numerous noise round your future, do you continue to really feel that you are the greatest man to get Tottenham out of this case?
