(thomas tuchel) Thiago[br]cannot play on Sunday.
0:00:06.210,0:00:09.360
He did a individual[br]session today,
0:00:09.360,0:00:12.210
but a session on[br]the pitch, and felt
0:00:12.210,0:00:18.850
was a big progress, big step[br]ahead, or up front for him.
0:00:18.850,0:00:22.800
So I hope he will join[br]the group next week.
0:00:22.800,0:00:24.630
We know what we are up against.[br]
0:00:24.630,0:00:28.080
a team that can hurt you any[br]second with individual quality.
0:00:28.080,0:00:32.000
A team that can hurt you[br]any second with speed.
0:00:32.000,0:00:34.080
They are a strong[br]team from away, they
0:00:34.080,0:00:37.140
can defend very compact,[br]they are very, very good
0:00:37.140,0:00:38.888
in transition.[br]
0:00:38.888,0:00:41.180
With their wingers, with[br]Rashford, with Bruno Fernandes
0:00:41.180,0:00:44.740
Shoretire deliveries, and[br]then Greenwood, Edi Cavani,
0:00:44.740,0:00:48.120
Martial, whoever plays it[br]will be a big challenge
0:00:48.120,0:00:51.250
to defend all this, to[br]defend counter-attacks.
0:00:51.250,0:00:56.370
The implication is[br]huge, of course.
0:00:56.370,0:00:58.770
If we get a win out of[br]this game it's huge for us,
0:00:58.770,0:01:01.830
if they get a win it[br]will be huge for them.
0:01:01.830,0:01:04.349
In general, I would say like[br]the big games are always
0:01:04.349,0:01:07.740
the next games because there are[br]no bigger games than the games
0:01:07.740,0:01:09.390
that you play in general.[br]
0:01:09.390,0:01:13.260
And then there are[br]some special fixtures.
0:01:13.260,0:01:15.480
It's obvious there[br]was a London derby,
0:01:15.480,0:01:18.750
there was a Champions[br]League game in Madrid, now
0:01:18.750,0:01:23.625
is Man United, Liverpool,[br]and Everton in the league.
0:01:23.625,0:01:29.670
It's a series of big fixtures[br]and, of course, big teams,
0:01:29.670,0:01:33.330
and big challenges to overcome.[br]
0:01:33.330,0:01:35.310
But this is exactly[br]why we are here
0:01:35.310,0:01:38.790
and we're looking forward to[br]prepare the team from tomorrow
0:01:38.790,0:01:42.030
on, and to be ready on Sunday.[br]
0:01:42.030,0:01:45.630
I think it's not a pleasure[br]to play against us,
0:01:45.630,0:01:48.060
but the picture is not finished.[br]
0:01:48.060,0:01:49.920
We have still a long[br]way to go, and we
0:01:49.920,0:01:53.157
have a lot of things to improve,[br]and this is the good message,
0:01:53.157,0:01:54.240
and this is the good news.[br]
0:01:57.090,0:01:59.010
There's no other way[br]than to stay hungry,
0:01:59.010,0:02:01.410
and then to be ready[br]to improve every day,
0:02:01.410,0:02:02.980
and we need to do this.[br]
0:02:02.980,0:02:05.470
There's a lot of[br]things to improve.
0:02:05.470,0:02:09.720
But I can clearly feel the[br]attitude and the energy
0:02:09.720,0:02:10.979
of my team on the pitch.[br]
0:02:10.979,0:02:13.470
That we are a strong[br]group with a strong bond,
0:02:13.470,0:02:16.950
and we have strong[br]competitors in our group.
0:02:16.950,0:02:19.240
And that makes us hard to beat.[br]
0:02:19.240,0:02:22.590
I believe strongly that[br]football is a team effort,
0:02:22.590,0:02:26.010
and this is the mentality[br]that I feel on the sideline
0:02:26.010,0:02:28.830
when I coach the team, and[br]when I observe the matches.
0:02:28.830,0:02:31.050
And this is the best[br]feeling that we can have.
0:02:31.050,0:02:35.760
And yeah, we are on a good[br]way, but it's not finished.
0:02:35.760,0:02:36.840
He's fit as ever.[br]
0:02:36.840,0:02:40.800
He can rely on his physical[br]impact in the game.
0:02:40.800,0:02:43.110
It's hard to play against him.[br]
0:02:43.110,0:02:46.770
And he's used to[br]play a high rhythm,
0:02:46.770,0:02:48.750
he's used to play[br]in Premier League,
0:02:48.750,0:02:51.470
and this helps him a lot, I[br]think, to be on this level ,
0:02:51.470,0:02:53.670
and he's very self-aware.[br]
0:02:53.670,0:02:58.800
He's in a fantastic[br]mood every day,
0:02:58.800,0:03:02.100
to push everybody[br]around him, to play,
0:03:02.100,0:03:05.400
to win every little games we do[br]in training, to be very, very
0:03:05.400,0:03:07.920
positive with[br]everybody around him.
0:03:07.920,0:03:10.590
So that did never[br]change, even when
0:03:10.590,0:03:12.240
he did not start[br]every game for us,
0:03:12.240,0:03:15.630
or he did not even come from[br]the bench in some matches.
0:03:15.630,0:03:18.240
His mood and his[br]attitude never changed,
0:03:18.240,0:03:21.390
and this is what[br]in the end makes
0:03:21.390,0:03:25.425
the difference between also good[br]players and big personalities.
0:03:25.425,0:03:27.600
And Oli is for sure[br]a big personality.
0:03:27.600,0:03:30.500
