Mar 22, 2024
They were beneficial for you and your players and now it's about making sure you don't lose momentum. I only know that on Saturday afternoon, so they have trained extremely hard. During the break we left, which obviously became public, but I just know that on Saturday I would have loved to continue playing. I said I think it's obviously the first break from the Premier League so maybe it will calm down in years to come and we'd like to be part of that in years to come, I think that's the most important thing but now the other guys They had a couple of days off, but at the end of that week they worked very hard and if it never worked out, you've seen our backup in a different environment, a different climate than the one they were trained in.

They have the ball rebounding and they need to stay away from major injuries, but I have a really good group of focused guys who have great confidence in themselves and are looking forward to the next game and that's the way it's been all season. and obviously as people talk about valuations, eventually it will come down to it that we know we are in a great position, we are looking for the next three points, from our point of view there is none that can take the accelerator off. It can't be that you know that we are once again playing against a talent, it is an established Premier League club and we are still new guys in the first season in the division and I think I said after the Murph game that not a comfortable manager, I'm looking for the next result and the players are looking for that and that makes the result the news about fifth place, although it gave you a boost to the players, is that something you've talked about?

Well, I certainly haven't talked about it being a game long enough to know the dangers of patting yourself on the back and taking a step back, and we're always looking to better ourselves. I think that's something I've always tried to do in my coaching career and especially here, the boys came back in the first season of League One, even though I got promoted, it was below points, which was a Fantastic achievement in the first year in the Championship, finishing in the top ten in promotion and obviously asking for overachievement in the first season in the Premier League, that's what we will always try to do and I think that's a good way to put it. and good looks, good eyesight and a good attitude.

Did you take advantage of the trip to discuss? transfer strategy other plans in place Is there a plan A and a plan B depending on what happens? I would imagine that the owners who obviously release funds in January would know the importance of doing it in the summer, so there was a yes, there is a long meeting during the trip abroad between the owners and the boss because they had the football operations, so we have plans. I think that once again, you will know that they will try to give me everything they can to improve the team that we create.
I did it in January and you know two other lads are fighting to get into the team but they have a lot of competition to establish themselves so that's how I asked for the bait and I'm delighted that The only thing I said to the players was that I obviously organized training and prepared for the games. My only job now should really be what the artist is, one is to choose the team and it's the artists. work, but I have and possibly the artist decisions to make in my time not only here but as a football coach because I have 22 23 players who are healthy and I have the desire to do it. to get into that team and it's a brilliant position as a coach and a difficult position, but I'll accept it, I'll take that responsibility and I'll try to choose the right thing.
Awesome Come on, let's talk this week about the possibility of adjusting the offside law to include daylight, what would be your views other than you've been on the rocket of some very strict offside decisions? during this season? Yes, we had Simon Morgan from the Premier League this year, this week to talk about AR and the introduction of it this year. I think the most important thing is that clarity in communication with followers will not disappear. I've talked a lot about my views on it and then whether it will stay. So the obvious and biggest topic of conversation has been these incredibly tight offside calls and what we should do is try to give the forwards the advantage and I've said all along that they know a couple of great plays, not only of us.
I always remember Francesc a Pookie against Spurs, a brilliant ball, a brilliant run and it's erased, so I think what we're looking for now is maybe the advantage given to the attacking side, obviously, so we're looking. with more goals, more entertainment and surely that has to be for the benefit of the game. Can I keep track of that? So this meeting, so what was the reason for it? Are you assessing the opinion of the Premier League managers? Are you actively considering it? trying to canvass opinions on whether there should be changes, yes, in meeting with myself and seeing these things and I am the captain and vice-captain of Billy and Anala Norwood, so their views are also taken into account, so which was a really open meeting. and an honest meeting and we talk about it, we talk about our experiences, you know, we have benefited in a couple of situations through a var and obviously we have been on the receiving end of a partner that we felt we were quite tight and unfair, but yes, the meeting was open, obviously the Premier League is a big player in all of this and rightly so, from my point of view, you know that polling my opinion and that of the Premier League coaches, staff and players is important, but important as Well, also poll the opinion of the fans because, as I have been consistent with my approach, you know that these are a big part of the game and the player managers, but it is important that we involve the fans as well.
I would say that the wave of opinions would come from players and coaches who see that it is necessary to make changes because it is different, as we have discussed a million times and polarize the pinion area in general for or against, but I would say that it is between the managers. and the staff that really changes is necessary, yes, yes, and clearly and also clearly, so you know an education and I have to eat in the end, you know, I was a little naive. I discovered this. week that for Bournemouth Scholl is the past forums and it touched the referee and I think we all realize this when I think I spoke to Shield about it when we played in Portugal, when this new rule came up the referee kept intervening. the way the game was clicked, it was interrupted and I think it also causes a couple of goals, so the uneducated coach needs to be educated, which we have tried to do, but even in that situation, when the report came From sight and thought I thought that the game would stop automatically, but since the ball did not change direction and did not give an advantage to a suicide, it did not, so communication education there will be changes, there will be to be We all have an opinion on it, but I think obviously the opinion of the players, staff and coaches is important and you need clarity and just finding unlocks.
I realize that is not necessarily what we came to discuss here, but also the VAR there is, as there have also been those incorrect changes that need to be applied, when was the last time you saw someone leave the field of play where should, instead of, etc., are not and hit the referee? "They are not being applied, no, that depends on that, obviously it depends on the governing body from the referees' point of view and from the referees' point of view to force those decisions that were made this summer to activate them and make them happen and it's important that they do it's something we should all say, we all get frustrated with this, you know there was, I've talked about it, you know, I talked about - just with - Simon Morgan in the Premier League and I talked about simulation and that It's been possibly one of the most disappointing aspects of our return to this brilliant division and playing these fantastic Sciences is that it's been disappointing that we've had to deal with that and I think it's been disappointing for our support as well as seeing that from up close and personal, but the authorities are there to implement rules and make decisions and take into account everyone's opinion that we were talking about later bombs that one of the things on the list for the job that I was trying to address contractual situations in terms Overall, what progress has been made by leaving with the club, now with the club in the agents, I believe 100% that the guys we are in the first negotiations with and other players who are in the future.
Will we talk to people like you? , Bashyam An or Word and a couple of us, that there is no fear of losing those players because they want to go play for another football club? I'm one percent sure that the one that has been in the public domain the longest, although it has been lundstrΓΆm, since things changed there, well, it hasn't been from our point of view, it's obviously been talked about , although you know that John has 18 months left on his contracts, some have a little more time left on their contracts, but you know, the initial four that we talked about are, you know, there are no changes in management, we are not looking do one before the other, we seek to reward as I thought, as I have done.
I always said and then look to move on to the next players and obviously it was a difficult and difficult January, you know, to bring in those guys, we did a lot of hard work and like I said, you know, looking at the For the next group of players we want that they be part of our group in the future and it is important that we have that stability, that they know what we are about, we know what they are about. I think it would be a pretty big number if we lost those four players to replace and that's why we want to keep them here and we want to grow and add a better place to the group that we said we did in January and I'm very confident that we will. in the summer transfer window just as we talk about it, so clearly Berger has played, so how is ours if kovitch and the rest getting acclimatised to life at Sheffield United?
Yeah, pushing on, we had where, in testing conditions, we had to play behind closed doors against Lincoln on Tuesday, so I think they've had a pretty interesting couple of weeks introduction to life in Sheffield, away from the players. Actually Martin is there are some stories there and he went back to work in Sheffield and played in that game or put it on. The wind conditions at Highcliff weren't the best but they got it done, they suited the football club well, the players integrated fantastically well and I'm sure they enjoyed that time, of course they are pushing for better things.
I've seen, you know, the palaces, he's

ing, which REO is

press

ing, they're all, you know, plays that we don't even think about Luke Freeman, Jack Robinson, Jack Rod, well, everyone's really making this a Really competitive group, so yeah. The boys played that game behind closed doors and they will be available for selection for Saturday and they are all okay injury-wise, yeah, yeah, so this is a great position to be in and, like I said, going over old ground, already You know, conditioning. work work work or work away from the lights their requests for the gym job request for the extra physical work they have to do to keep it in good shape recruiting so like I said, you know, Paul Coates can't really do anything about it that that's an injury that no one can really affect others that we try to know in terms of recruiting in terms of programs or whatever, we'll do what we can do the best we can, but there's always that association between what we want to put. about them and the attitude of the players towards this, I think it says a lot for the group that they are all, they are all in this and they are all from Philly, all raring to go, so the next Brighton, so what is your evaluation of them between meetings? to defeat them instead, what is your assessment of them right now?
I went down a little bit though, you could have gone either way obviously, we took our chance and called on the second count after two to end the game, but they It's a dangerous place if I obviously had to change my coach's approach team and style, but I am the owner of an established Premier League club that has raked in a lot of money on the Football Club's new ground. I was lucky enough to play there for two or threemonths in the old days and Micky Adams at the meeting, obviously it's a big change from playing on the field with a track to run to just that the AMEX now in the chain is changing the training field just down the road, but an established Club passionate fan base, some really good players and like I said a talented coach who is putting his stamp on it on his team and it's not always the easiest because you have to make changes to change quickly like the app did and I'm sure you know they're going to have a positive season and we'll be back, we'll be back with Graham's influence on every site and over time it's completely understandable why we're throwing questions at them about Europe. etc, but the Premier League from something like well established to 12th or 13th is very close, right?
I don't think there will be any changes to start the season. I'm not very sorry. You know we've been in this position all along. It's consistency. It's about keeping the best plays. Obviously, this is a change of coaches through certain clubs. maybe I didn't get the results that the teams wanted and there are some big clubs in the mix as well as a couple of clubs that are going through a transition after that I can't be bothered and worried because I have enough in terms of making sure we are right , we've done fantastically well, there's no escape from maybe 939 points, whose wife doesn't move, go and of course people will talk about you look up and I want us to look up, I want us to go and drag the teams above us, I can't really, you know, go to a team meeting in half an hour and just say, well, you know, let's be careful to stay at the bottom, free, you know, we've been realistic or the whole time.
It's a difficult division, you know we were favorites, from what we spent to what we paid, to where we've been, the group, we have to be in a promoted team, the second, the second best promoted team. championship last year, but this is a new season and we have tried and we have been consistent in our approach and in our game and we are in this position, so I will see if we can improve this. if we can go and get the next three points and like I said, weeks wherever it takes us, it will take us and we'll tackle it wherever that may be, but like I said, huge 12 games, I think you know that from our point of view as well.
We have to be careful from the fans' point of view that they are not looking at a table now and looking at our position and looking at Brian's position, this is as difficult as it sounds, they have dominated possession in most games against teams . who are really established in the Premier League, you know, Liverpool are the man, sir, it's the many knives, Arsenal, Tottenham, the two Spurs at the top, none of the Chelsea that are coming up, you know, obviously , will whet the appetite of our followers, but this should. be just as big and the noise, the support and the encouragement, if it was ever deserved by a group of players, it should be deserved by this group to push us forward and that's who we are, that's what we're looking for.
We are trying to do our part, as I said, we have to be careful, this is an incredible season in terms of points, and yes, here. come on, let's just know, we're going to get there today and it's a three point guarantee, these tests are enormously difficult and this is going to be a great time to pursue a Christian for Dean and I and This has received a lot of praise this season. I was just wondering how important the next 12 games will be in terms of securing England's birth or whether their spectators have already done enough to be number one.
Well, we all have our opinions on this. The most important one is Gareth, who I totally respect, but he is pushing as hard as he can. He is playing fantastically well. He has been fundamental to our form this year. He kept a clean sheet. Great saves. I think we all talk about concentration levels. You know, when we were. dominating the opposition seems to have been quite a while ago against Bournemouth again to run the game, it's a big security for us, so you know, concentration levels, especially from a young goalkeeper, especially when we're on top, is key in 12 great games for us. a football club and in that obvious individual, it is huge if he has aspirations to play in euros in the summer and as you must imagine he has someone else before the Saudis, no one else, simply out of interest, there were discussions about the Elephant John, you know?
We were obviously disappointed about the gold against Newcastle, but we said the Premier League talked about playing on the whistle and talked about the linesman keeping the flight low, so maybe it was an obvious mistake by the linesman, but we talked . about the change and you know it's difficult also for players to change immediately overnight when they've been taught a game where you know the assistant referee, as I would like to say, John is a key player. for him in the game and when he, as he used to be, raises the flag for him, you really know that was the signal to stop the game, so the games are changing and the players have to change.
I have to change. but that was a topic that was talked about in the meeting, another thing that I have seen again, not stopping when... well, now it will come to an end, so the players have to know from our point of view, forget if the opening run of the linesman's flag in the attacking position goes and plays to the end and then obviously he will get it, he would be seen by var and from a defensive point of view he would see the game so well that he wouldn't He did it that time against those.
I think so, yes, we are all asking for that consistency, we are not and I am sure that, as I have been told, what will happen in the future is that we will find that consistency, let's say okay, attitude. It was something we were punished for and hope

full

y now you know that if that happens in the future we will play until the end and the players need to recognize that because it's a rule that will be here. to stay with you
