I think there are two aspects to this. First, we need to understand where we want to get to. This place is relative to the situation we were in in the past, and we also need to know what steps we need to take to get there. I sincerely feel that being able to advance to this point is an extremely amazing achievement. The players deserve huge recognition for this. Then you just think about continuing to make progress. Like I said a few days ago, the closer you are to the top of the league, the more difficult things will be. You must take a huge step, but this happens to be the most difficult. Therefore, it is imperative to continue to push this team to move forward. This is by no means a denial of the existing team. We have a very good group of players and we intend to continue to work hard to improve them and make them even better. If that means bringing in new players, bring in new players. At the same time, those young players will become stronger after a full season and one more year of training in this club. So you just keep moving forward. This is the only direction. There's no magic formula – you need work, a bit of brains and intelligence, and of course good players.
Interviewer: Hi, Michael. Cunha's number of goals in the Premier League this season has reached double digits, Mbemo's number of goals in the Premier League this season has also reached double digits, and Sheshko's goals in the Premier League this season have also reached double digits. In this way, the recruitment work looks extremely successful. So I would like to ask, do you think it is possible for them to attack the 20-goal mark when they face more games next season?
I'm not going to attach exact numbers to them, I just think that for all the young players who have recently joined, this can be called an extremely successful first season. Measuring them by goals and assists, I can totally understand. After all, they are offensive players, but I think the more important thing is that they How to cope, how to adapt, how to continue to improve throughout the season, there will obviously be some different small challenges next season, and taking a step further on this basis is another challenge in itself, but there is no doubt that everything is positive for these players, and I am sure they can show more.
The reporter asked Michael what he said to Bruno in the locker room after the game, because for a while on the field, it seemed that the record seemed…
To be honest, there's a bit of chaos in the locker room right now, so I haven't had much communication with him yet. This is really a delicate situation. I think he handled it extremely well – from what I observed on the sidelines, he must be experiencing some inner conflict: should he look for opportunities to pass the ball, or should he just choose to shoot? Is he in a state of uncertainty? Yet I think he coped pretty well. To finally achieve that record in the form today is a wonderful moment for everyone. He must be paid his respects – not an easy task. But he always puts himself after the team and always puts the team first. The same is true today – although he will take credit for this remarkable achievement.
Hello Michael. After you took over, you talked about many players, but there is one person who is rarely mentioned, and that person is Luke Shaw. A year ago, many people thought his career might have come to an end. Now, he has appeared in every game in the Premier League this season. To what extent has this been accomplished? Next season may be a 60-game season. Can he still do this?
In fact, this is an extremely difficult thing for anyone. When you face such a dense schedule, it is not easy to be full attendance. Sometimes it is not your fault at all. Unfortunately, injuries and other related factors have always been a part of football, so you can play every game The event itself is an amazing thing. Next season is a brand new season. There will be a series of games with different rhythms, which requires adaptation. This also means that he will be more mature, more experienced, and more aware of how to understand his own physical condition and how to manage it. Luke has now reached this stage, he has extremely rich experience, he has stayed here for a long time, he knows this club, he knows what it feels like here, he has experienced the highs and endured the most difficult moments, so in the next season, no matter how many games he participates in, his experience will be extremely valuable.
