Per overall was it a deserved win I think so yeah I think so not just for the statistics for the way we played I’m really pleased I think so and did you see the goal coming especially so late uh yeah apparently it was a a replay but uh yeah performance to be

Honest is quite similar what you done many years many years here but all the time was song or Kan for the the quality with nothing they they score but uh yeah today we perform incredibly well what pleased you most everything from the minute one until 95 well you you were

Very animated with the players at the final whistle there uh what was the message you’re putting across to them no no congratulate them so we are we defend the title and coming here the throw was a little bit difficult and and we respond perfectly can you understand Tottenham being AG grieved with the

Nature of the goal I think they obviously felt it might have been disallowed for a foul I don’t know because I didn’t see the action so but a consistent in actions in the other action so I don’t know so I didn’t see the actions honestly Nathan

AI has a a good habit of winning coming up with winners in these games last year against Arsenal the big games and and today tonight as well obviously the winner yeah I have the incredible Tempo he has an incredible incredible Tempo and and now set pieces in attack is our

One of the best headers and how important is it as well just to have avoided the replay uh yeah but you have to replay we got to replay with our fans so perform here against that team that they create a lot a lot in every game for the way

They play and the courage we do with the ball without the ball so I’m I’m really pleased can I ask you about Jurgen klopp who’s decided he’ll be leaving Liverpool at the end of the season are you surprised to hear that yeah a little bit

A little bit a little bit so he’s an absolutely an incredible manager and and I think I don’t know him closely but I think it’s incredible person as well so I had the feeling that uh when atana is leaving part of us a man cities living too uh

Have been our biggest rival Liverpool in these years uh personally in dormund and he have been my biggest rival so I think we’ll be missed uh personally will miss him uh I’m really pleased because without him I will sleep a little bit better the nights before we play against

Liverpool uh but uh but uh I wish him all the best and he doesn’t admit it but uh he will be back when he says he’s running out of energy his energy levels are low can you relate to that all the managers yeah when you are many years many

Many years in the same place understand completely I felt that in Barcelona so all the arguments I hear today I listen about that I I understand completely and what do you think will be the impact on Liverpool’s team they’re doing so well this season yeah like every season you know

When they had all the squad and no inj always they compete for everything was not a surprise so the level of consistency in being there had been and will be we know that thank you very much very welome
