 Good afternoon Andani. I will start with some team use today obviously I know there's been a lot of players out injured There's players that are getting close to coming back Can you just give us an update on where you're at and the faces that will potentially be involved in your squad and those that may miss out? Yes, I think everyone that was involved past week will is ready To play and I don't think we will cover anyone. I think the only one That is not so far is Styler. He will not be for Brighton's game, but He has started this week at least to train partly partially with the with the group. So probably we we can have of We can have a chance of having him Next week two weeks something like this. I know Bournemouth haven't won in the Premier League so far this season But you've had three really positive Draws the most recent against a difficult Chelsea side You spoke after game about the team getting stronger Do you feel like you're starting to see your identity and what you want from this group on a match day? Yes, the other day I finished quite happy because also the the game went Better as it passed, you know, we finished better than we started the game. I think we felt like the last 23 minutes of the game we were closer to winning it than losing it probably We it's not that we started poorly, but they were more in control of the game at the beginning of the game. So the sensations that we We we ended the game against Chelsea I think we're really nice against a really good opposition, but every game is different now. We have Brighton different game and we have to face it even better Obviously Brighton played last night in Europe for the first time in the club's history a lot of people say that's a very Difficult experience playing European football Tuesday Wednesday Thursday and then playing in the Premier League How are you expecting them to reply off the back of their disappointment? At the end they've made a lot of saps They've changed a lot the team between the ultra first game and the other night game for sure they are going to change it for our game and I don't think it will be so The physical side will be so important Because they have very good squad. They've done the changes. They've performed well You never know what you prefer when they play before before your game if they is better They win is whether they lose at the end the game plan will not change We know what they are going to try to do. We know what we are going to try to do also So I don't think it's something important Did you watch the game? Yes, you're making notes. Were you with your family? Were you how did you now I watch it on TV? I think They were on control of the game they had the possession is true that they considered two unsat pieces at the end is small details that Not get you out of the of the wins, but they are playing very very well I think they are deserving the wins They are the the team that has scored more goals in the Premier League. I think Except the West Ham game. Yes, I think they've scored three or more every single game so we have to be ready to To defend well and also to make them think defensively Dom Salanki has just been sat in that very chair and he said that Bournemouth can be like Brighton That's the model to get into Europe to play exciting football to push up the Premier League. Do you agree? I think they have done a very Difficult thing they have been improving every single year from the last seasons at the end they they achieved To to play in Europe a past season with an amazing season. They are team that is playing with a clear identity. I think every Praise they are resaving They really deserve it because they are they are playing really well and with a clear Identity, but there is a lot of way to go and a lot of things to do. There's a lot of very good games to play But we we are still not done Dom Salanki also said that he thinks this can be his best-ever Premier League season both in terms of performance off the ball, but also getting goals Are you seeing in him now? That he has that ability you can work with the player You can you can progress and develop him and he can become a real asset for this club Yes, I think it's pretty clear since day one for me He's a very very good number nine He gives us a lot of things apart from the goals and he's having the chances He's scored two but he has the other day He had a very very good chance very good save from Robert Sanchez that every think every game he has had a clear chance or a couple. It's a very good thing I always tell them I won number nine that miss goals. This is a good sign at the end He will score because he has the the qualities and also he knows that he has he has to Help the team because he has to make The ones playing behind him better also and he's focused on that And just finally obviously we we know this will be a challenge We know this will be one of your your toughest games of the season because Brighton are exceptional But in a South Coast Derby What could a win do to really catapult your season and kickstart your season and make a statement about The ability you have against the best teams in the division I think we know that the game we are going to play I think that they will try to control the possession control the game play in our in our half we Need to have very good individual performances win duels the other day once we started winning duels in the middle Didn't become much more dangerous Going forward and we also have very good weapons attacking weapons And we have to attack their backs and make them run also backwards and become the game in two directions We respect them obviously they've they're playing really well They are scoring a lot of goals, but we also trust ourselves and we think if we give our level We can we can be competitive and we can take points from there. Thank you Don described Brighton as one of the best teams in the world right now. Is that Too big a praise or are you equally as impressed? I think they are playing really really well really well And I think they deserve all these these praise and I think it's something that they've earned You know because at the end is the team It's going more goals this season is just five games, but it's not like just a surprise now past season. They did really well now They are they are paying in Europe for sure it will be a challenge for them But no, I think they they deserve all this praise Will you surprise to see them susceptible at set pieces and is that something you can embrace? We we need to improve offensively in set pieces I think defensively we are doing really well because we I think we considered the free kick It was very free but we haven't considered corners and lateral free kicks So we are we're improving there, but I think offensively something that we need to to improve And it's a way that they've considered for sure. They will they will be aware and they will try also to improve but We have to take every single chance. We have be a set piece. We are counters via established organized tags and Let's see if we are able Roberto D'Azerbi has just said because they're not used to playing Thursday Sunday football He will make a lot of changes. Does that affect your approach at all? Or do you know they will play the same way whoever's in the team? No, the style will be the same. They've just showed it past week. He made a lot of changes in ultra for they played amazingly. They won You never won very easily but they were in control of the game and and they deserve to win the game like they did So it's not going to change a lot if one full-back plays or the other plays I think they will try to do what they always do and we we we know what we are facing Me loss and Max against Chelsea did so very well against Madrid Stirling and Others how big a challenge will it be for them against March and Mitoma? Is it another step up? I think this is the premier league No, it's not easy to be a full-back in the premier league because you come from I don't know When we move and then you face the mood rig or Stirling or and then you go there and you play Sorry March or Mitoma next week. You will play By Osaka or I don't know through sad whoever plays for us and Alice like this to be in a Premier League full-back you face the best wingers. I think they did really well the other day. I think it's not a matter of Their job individually. We have to help them obviously. We know that they have very very dangerous wingers I don't know which one will start but I think They attack very well the depth with them. They are good one against one So it's not like they do just one thing and we have to cover this It's much much more difficult than this, but it's good that the other day we we had our First clean sheet. I think it's something that we talk about in the international break and let's hope Knowing that they are scoring a lot of goals, but let's hope that we we continue in that way defensively It sounds like you're happy. You're no longer a fullback. Yes Yes, it's always the same also in my time in La Liga, you're okay now We have this this winger next week you have this order, so it's always tough, but it's You have to know that you have to defend these guys But I think that also we have to try to make them run backwards and to keep them as far as we We come from from our goal, so it's also two ways for them because otherwise if yet They are only focused on the attacking side. It's too easy for them You have lots of wingers as well. I wonder just Marcus Tabernier. He was so important to the team last year What if you made of him now that he's back from injury that the impact you've seen so far? Yes, I think he has to be an important player for mass I The other day who it was his first start probably he finished really tired. He wasn't so sharp on the ball, especially because he had to do and Are really tough defensive work, but he's physically also he's he's a good player. He he makes good numbers and I hope he can Continue improving his his level. They know that they have a really tough Competition between them. They have to take every minute they have It's difficult that we see a winger play 90 minutes. It's gonna be tough because we will have options Sit it on the bench that we think they are normally good and they have to get used to play Whatever the minutes they have Thank you Afternoon and only just going back on the injury front. We've given us an update on Tyler there I'm just wondering if there's an update on Alex Scott and maybe any others yes, I Told you I think past weeks Alex is far behind Tyler Tyler is really close because once you start training partially with the group is a matter of sensations and if if you are physically Good enough and he has the Very good physical base. So I think it will take no No long time to see Tyler with the team Alex is completely different. I know that this week has been the first week has been outside Just doing the physical work, but okay. It's a first step in the right directions, but he's He's far from from from Tyler
