If you go 2-0 up should you win that game?
Yes, that goal that we conceded in the last action of the first half gave the belief to Arsenal. Of course it was a big emotional hit for us because from here in one action you were down. For them the same they were down and suddenly their emotion was high and the belief in football is about emotions.
I thought the team recovered really well after half-time. We created a lot of chances to score the third goal. I thought it was very important for us, it's not the table or the points, it's to recover the good feelings after Newcastle and the summer and all that happened in these last four weeks. That is most important. Worse impossible, only we can improve.
We have positives, we have the quality and we need to build again to create the togetherness to perform in the way that team can perform. In the previous three games I think the team didn't show all the quality they have.
You're conceding more shots than last season, are you worried about that openness?
But that happens because it's a collective problem, not only the defensive line. I think to try to find the balance again is the most important. To try to find that again we need that togetherness and to work really, really hard, altogether.
The team wasn't settled. I told you from day one when we started the pre-season in London and moved to Singapore, that is why I wasn't happy, I was a little bit worried about the situation, because we knew very well what was going on.
I am optimistic, happy, what is most important is to all be on the same page, with the club. That players have a clear idea where we want to arrive and how we want to move, clear minds like today Christian and different players, tomorrow they're only going to be focused on Tottenham, not on thinking about different things that make management so difficult.
But the most important thing is we knew what was going on when we finished the Champions League final, it's about learning from our mistakes and of course from now it's to decide on a strategy so we're in a position that we should be.
Are you saying you are now 100 per cent confident Christian Eriksen will be staying?
No, there are still hours or one day. I want to say it is going to be impossible but it is going to be difficult (for him to leave). I think nothing is impossible in football, but the most important thing is that it is only 24 hour and I hope that everything will be clear for everyone.
How impressed were you with the counter-attacking in the first half?
Not only the transition, the possession was even in the first half in the second half we gave them a little bit more because they tried to push hard and score, they dominated. But overall I am happy with the performance, it was great.
For sure if we don't concede at the end of the first half I think we will win the game. That is football, I want to improve, but I am happy for the performance with the team?
Should you have had a penalty at the end?
I don't know. This season from now I don't want to talk about the referees or VAR, we need to accept the rules.
In the end now it is done. Look what happened with Aston Villa. In this type of situation there is no point talking too much, we just have to accept the referee's decision.
Tell us about the thinking in playing Davinson Sanchez on the right and what did you make of his performance?
The performance was great. I think, Hugo (Lloris), him, Harry Winks and Christian Eriksen were on the top of the performance. Then the rest of the team were fantastic too. He is fast, it was difficult to face with space to control Aubameyang. If it wasn’t Aubameyang it was Lacazette or Pepe.
We were watching games from him when he was at Atlético Nacional, in Colombia that he played on the right or on the left and it was not strange for him that situation or position. I think it was a very good solution for the team and I happy because his performance was great.
