Now that you have more time to spend with the players, does that help?
- It's completely different. You can try different training content and imagine different game scenarios. Not only do you have more time to prepare for your next game strategy, but you can also strengthen your basic training. I think we have created more opportunities from our game. While we will still concede the ball like we did last year, I think it is because of the lack of urgency, concentration and understanding.
Especially now, we have a lot of goals, so we need to focus on that. If we can give the team enough time to reduce concessions, we are not far from winning. So, I think it is particularly important to have more time with the team, and we are also improving as a result. If we still have one game in the middle of the week, things can be difficult.
In Chicago in the summer, you have said that there are games that scare you because you are not sure what the team will perform. What I heard you mean just now is that you still can’t be completely sure about the team’s performance now?
—No, it's completely different. Now, I always feel like we can win the next game and dominate, and I feel that right now. I mean, sometimes in small details, like the urgency. If you compare our match against Chelsea and Manchester City, you'll find that there are two completely different ways to start.
In this regard, I'm not always sure what to expect, but this feeling is completely different from before. When I see my team, we will play against Manchester City, Arsenal, my feeling is that we can score goals, we can be dominant, we can control the game in certain moments. So, this feeling is completely different from last year.
No longer has that kind of fear?
—No, no, no, no, no. I know it will be tough, but this year it’s more about excitement than fear. So I'm always looking forward to seeing the team perform.
You have talked about the mentality of players before, and sometimes they worry about bad things happening instead of good things. Do you think the players have come out of this stage now?
—It depends on the specific situation, we need to win the next game. I think if we start winning, not to win ten or seven games in a row, but the second and third games, the feeling will change. It's about the environment we are in, like Mbomo, when we are in trouble, you will feel that he is different from other players. You need to understand that some players are here for a while and that feeling is still there. To do this, we need to win, it's that simple. ”
Regarding Mbermo, you have to wait for a while, and the club is also a little dissatisfied with Brentford, maybe because they want to sell him to Newcastle or Tottenham. What does that feel to you? Are you impressed by how he did after returning to the preseason?
-Yes, but he went to the United States for preseason training, which is great for us to connect with him there. He has time to start slowly, play 45 minutes first and then prepare for the season. Again, I know this player very well, and I have watched him play a lot of times. Last year I also watched him live against us and that day was not a good day for us .
Did that performance make you more confident that you want to sign him?
- not just that game, but that really helped me realize that he is a very good player, both with and without the ball. When you see such a performance on the spot, it feels completely different. Although at Brentford, sometimes he even has to defend to the right back, he still does a great job. So, it's very important to be able to see him on the spot. If I were the boss of Brentford, I would do the same thing, keep the best players and sell them at a high price. So I fully understand the situation.
As you mentioned earlier, Premier League Two consecutive defeats in the league, and the need to win. Do you think this has been going on for so long, will it have a subconscious impact on the players' psychology? If you can beat Brentford and achieve two consecutive wins, do you think it will make the team easier?
- I think it will help us. I know it is no big deal for people outside the club. At Manchester United, it shouldn't be a big deal, but I think it will help us a lot. So, again, it's not the way we play well or not. It's the way we warm up and prepare for the game, and whether we are passionate about the game, just like we sometimes have to win some games at the extreme. When that. If we always feel that way, I think it means a lot to us. So, it's important to win this game.
Do you think there are any psychological barriers in the past 10 months?
- I don't know, but it's important to try your best to face the game, like we do sometimes. Last year against Liverpool, we had a lot of difficulties. From the start of our season against Arsenal, we were really excited and we should always feel that way. So, we're just starting out. We won the last game and we need to do everything we can to beat Brentford, we need to win this game.
Have you said before that you want to win continuously, is it here, in the locker room, or in the general situation?
—This feeling is everywhere. I think if we as a team, if we don’t understand this momentum now, we will be in big trouble. So, again, anything can happen in the game, especially in the Premier League, you can see it in every game. But the feeling of opening minutes is really important. So, for me, we started talking about that from the first training. We need to understand the momentum of the club and our chances of winning the next game. So, it all depends on us, and the responsibility falls on us.
It is obvious that you come from a club that has maintained a long-term winning streak, and you have also achieved quite a few wins. How did you deal with this situation?
- It's really hard, but I also understand that this is a different club, different pressures, completely different leagues. But that feeling of winning, and making it really normal, I really have a lot of difficulties, and I think so are the players, so changing everything is in our hands. We just have to win the next game and go all out for it.
