_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, do you have any plans to counter the threat of _PLAYER_NAME, who is always a dangerous opponent?
Of course. We know how dangerous he is. But I think that _PLAYER_NAME_2 can put him in his pocket.
_PLAYER_NAME_2 wins 3 morale points.
It will be the key to victory if we are successful in shutting out _PLAYER_NAME. _PLAYER_NAME_2 won't be able to manage this alone so the others will have to help him.
_PLAYER_NAME_2 is not happy about your lack of confidence and loses 3 morale points.
No, we will play our usual formation. We won't be making any special plans for _PLAYER_NAME.
The reporter thinks: "I hope that doesn't backfire."
517
10
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, what have you told your players to prevent them underestimating the opposition?
My players are professional enough. I don't have any worries there. I offered them a video of the opposition or some cartoons. They laughed at both.
The reporter has to smile.
I have spoken to them at length. I won't be responsible if it goes wrong, that's for sure.
Your popularity with the fans drops by 2 points. It is your job to motivate the team.
Underestimation takes place in the subconscious, so you won't achieve much by talking. It is a question of character.
The reporter says: "Then we should be in for an exciting match today!"
518
11
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, everyone thinks that your team are the hot favourites today. Do you agree?
I agree. Anything else would be nonsense. We will go into this match with a lot of confidence, as we believe that we are a better team.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 2 points.
I certainly do. We will win this match, you can put your shirt on it; there's no question about it.
It sounds as if you are sure about the win. Your popularity with the fans rises by 1 point.
If we go into this match with the right attitude, I have no worries. If we don't, it could go terribly wrong today.
The reporter knows the players and smiles.
519
12
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, against this opposition the only real question should be how many goals they're going to win by, don't you think?
Yeah of course, we're going to roll over and let them walk all over us. I don't think. We'll have a right go.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 2 points.
I can't deny I'd be happy with a point. And as long as we can stop them scoring we will get that point.
Your popularity with the fans drops by 2 points.
We are not expected to win today, that's quite true. So today we can't lose!
Your popularity with the fans rises by 1 point.
520
13
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, this may sound a bit harsh, but wouldn't it be better just to forfeit the points and save the team from embarrassment?
I don't honestly think we have any chance of winning this match, but it's got to be worth a try.
Your players lose 3 morale points.
Yeah, just like you should put that microphone down and become a dustman to save yourself some embarrassment.
The reporter looks rather taken aback.
Nonsense. This game is very important to us and we are determined to take the three points from the match, have no doubts about that.
The players win 1 morale point.
521
14
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, in terms of fitness, your team has a distinct advantage today. Are you going to wait until the end of the game to make your move?
If you want to exploit any advantage, it is important to go for it from the start. Leaving it late is not an option we have considered.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 2 points.
Of course. We only need to have patience and keep them working. As soon as they are tired, we will hit them.
Your players win 1 morale point.
First of all we have to make sure we give nothing away in the initial phase, then we'll see how things go. Fitness is not necessarily decisive today.
Your popularity with the fans drops by 2 points.
522
15
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, in terms of fitness, it would seem your opponents today have the advantage. Are you worried about the last 15 minutes?
If we allow ourselves to be dragged into a fast, physical match for 90 minutes, we will certainly have problems. So, we will try to slow the game down.
Your popularity with the fans drops by 2 points.
It depends on how hard the two teams push themselves today. But we are able to keep up with the pace of any opponent. That will help us.
The reporter doesn't seem to agree.
My players might not have the opponent's fitness advantage, but we have other qualities, which we consider more valuable.
Your players win 1 morale point.
523
16
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, your team won't be quite as fresh as the opposition. Could that be decisive today?
The pressure on the players has been very intense in the last few weeks. At this stage of the season, especially, a lot can be achieved through strength of spirit.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 2 points.
No, certainly not. They are professionals; they have to be able to deal with it.
Your players lose 1 morale point.
I will understand if my players feel a little jaded today. So they will just have to use their heads, not just their legs.
The players win 1 morale point.
524
17
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, the opposition are clearly more tired than your team. Could that be a decisive advantage today?
Agreed. It's often these things that can help decide the outcome of matches. For us, that means that we must make our opponents work hard. Then time will be on our side.
The fans like this strategy. You win 1 popularity point.
You can't depend on that. They know each other's game well and I'm sure they will have trained suitably. A good team will be able to deal with this.
Your players lose one morale point.
I don't believe that. The opposition are very experienced - they can try to slow the match down. If we can stop them from doing this, anything is possible.
The reporter nods affirmatively. The players win 1 morale point.
525
18
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, you have given your team a good workout in training this week. Do your players have enough strength left for the upcoming match?
I don't just think of the short-term effects. These training sessions will have a very positive effect for us over the course of the season.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 2 points.
If we lose this game, it was certainly the wrong approach. But I still think that we will benefit from it. There is still a long way to go in the season.
Your popularity with the fans drops by 1 point.
After their recent performances, the players really needed the extra training. If they show commitment today, they will have the chance to recuperate next week.
The morale of the players rises by 2 points.
526
20
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, what are you going to change compared to the last club?
Last time, we had several strokes of bad luck. Here I will take vigorous action right from the start and not stand for anything from the players.
The morale of the team drops by 2 points. That is not a good start.
I must do things my way. With the last club, nothing seemed to work out, but that surely won't happen here.
The reporter raises his right eyebrow.
The entire structure of this club is far better. If I am allowed to do my job properly, today will see the beginning of a wonderful relationship.
You win 2 popularity points with the fans.
527
21
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, you have taken over a team that is currently propping up the rest of the division. What are you going to do to change this?
First of all it is important that I take a good look at the squad. Then I will see what improvements need to be made.
Your players lose one morale point. That doesn't sound good.
First of all the team has to become a unit. The selfish attitude I have seen from some of the players has given me quite a shock.
The morale of the team rises by one point. That is indeed a sore point.
Above all, I am planning to make the fans more loyal to the club. I really believe it's important that we build up a good rapport here.
You win 5 points popularity with the fans.
528
22
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, after your long stint at _CLUB_NAME a new era starts for you today. How do you feel?
Leaving _CLUB_NAME was very difficult for me. I needed some time to come to terms with it. But now I am ready for a new challenge!
Your popularity with the fans rises by 1 point.
I had an enjoyable time there. But now my aim is to bring success to this club, I am no longer interested in the past.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 2 points.
It is a great feeling. A new start is very exciting; you can forget all the past problems that clouded your judgment. I was sick and tired of my old club.
Hopefully you won't say that again soon.
529
23
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, the excitement before the first game of the season is, of course, very high. What are your expectations?
We want to win, that goes without saying. It would be great to get three points from the first match - then we could look forward to the following games in a good position.
That is obviously true.
I really don't know how we compare to the other teams. The pre-season build up has been good but we will have to wait and see how the first few matches go.
Your players are a little bit disappointed about this statement and lose 1 morale point.
My players are extremely motivated. I have never seen a team so geared up to start the season. More than anything, I expect a high level of commitment.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 1 point.
530
24
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, the last time these two teams met, you ran rings round them. Will you be able to do it again?
Well, this is a different game. They'll try not to allow us to run the game as they did last time, I'm sure of that.
The opponent's manager nods in agreement in the background.
I am sure that we will play well. I don't mind how many goals we score I just want the three points. That will do for me.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 1 point.
I expect my team to pick up where they left off the last time. You can't afford to give a team like this any self-belief.
The opponent's manager smiles with satisfaction.
531
25
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, the last time the two teams met, your opponents steamrollered you. Are you worried that will happen again?
If you had seen the faces of my players after that game, you would know that there is no question of that happening again. There will be no repeat of our last performance.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 1 point.
A defeat like that certainly undermines self-confidence. But you can also learn a lot from it. I hope, for once, that my players have done that.
The morale of your players drops 1 point.
Today we will be looking for revenge after that dreadful performance. We owe that to the fans that had to witness the last match.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 3 points.
532
26
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, the stadium has sold out, what expectations do you have for the match?
We want to win; quite simply we owe that to our fans.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 1 point.
My players can't allow the crowd to distract them - they must stick to the tactics we have worked on. Discipline is important today.
The reporter still hopes for plenty of goals.
With our fantastic fans behind us, we are difficult to beat. You will see my team attacking relentlessly.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 3 points.
533
27
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, the stadium is practically empty today. How will you feel playing here today?
It doesn't make any difference how many people turn up. That can't be an excuse for a bad performance from my team.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 2 points.
My players need to concentrate on the opposition; that is far more important.
There is nothing to add to that.
That is our own fault. If we had played better in the last few matches, more people would come to our games.
The morale of your players drops by 3 points.
534
19
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, your team has had a tough week while your opposition has had a break. Do you feel that this will be a disadvantage for your team?
No, my players enjoy playing and training. We are fit and strong enough to play a tough game for 90 minutes today.
The players win 1 morale point.
Yes, of course. It is always better if you go into a game well rested. This could be an important factor.
Your players lose one morale point.
It doesn't make any difference. My players are fit and motivated, which is the most important thing. Because of this we will be successful.
Your players win 2 morale points.
535

_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, today's referee is notorious for giving a lot of yellow and red cards. Have you prepared the team for this?
Certainly. Today, my players will be very careful in all their challenges. On the other hand, the forwards will make the most of this type of challenge.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 1 point. The fans have great respect for this referee.
You can't do anything about the referee so we will play as we normally do.
That's true.
I know this referee only as a man who officiates according to the rules of the game. I don't understand your question.
A clever answer.
536
29
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, your team currently has the worst disciplinary record in the entire league. Can we expect some bad fouls again today?
Football is a man's game. The fact that we are considered the most ruthless team in the league by itself shows that football is becoming softer.
The morale in the team rises by 2 points.
I have spoken to my players at length. We only hurt ourselves with all these cards. They have got to understand that.
The morale of your players drops by 3 points.
Referees do not treat us fairly. That is the only thing that these statistics show.
You don't get fined.
537
30
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, your opponents currently have the worst disciplinary record in the league. Are you worried about your players?
Of course, as a manager you have your own thoughts about this but the players can't think about it.
Luckily your players couldn't hear that.
If that were the case, they would have achieved their goal. No, I will put money on the fact that the referee will protect my players and take appropriate action when necessary.
The reporter looks sceptically.
The opposition consist solely of madmen; that is a recognized fact. But if they want a war on the pitch, then they can have it. We won't hold back.
The opponent sets its commitment to the maximum.
538
31
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, do you believe that you will still have this job next week?
You should be asking the Board of Directors that. That is not my decision. I have prepared the team well, as always. I can't do any more than that.
Murmuring of agreement can be heard in the background.
That is what I believe.
Soft laughter in the background.
With such questions you just give the players an excuse to hide from their own performances. If we lose again, it would be better to ask some questions of the players.
The players of your team lose 3 morale points.
539
32
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, today the future of your job lies in balance, how do you feel about that?
It is obvious that this is a vital game. I am very committed to my work here. We have to win today.
The reporter is of the same opinion.
I am calmness personified. We have trained well and I am quite confident that it will work out today.
That sounds fairly convincing. You gain 1 point of popularity with the fans.
I can't deny that I am very worried. In recent weeks the situation has deteriorated rapidly. That has left its mark on me.
That sounds uncertain. You lose 1 point of popularity with the fans.
540
33
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, how will you attempt to counter the aerial supremacy of the opposition today?
It is vital that you plan against this from the start and try to prevent dangerous crosses. That is what we will do.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 2 points.
You shouldn't underestimate our players. Apart from that, _PLAYER_NAME needs to come off his goal line more often today.
The players of your team win 2 morale points, _PLAYER_NAME has also understood the hint.
I am a little concerned. We are vulnerable in that area, but I can't make my players taller than they are.
The players of your team lose 3 morale points.
541
34
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, how do you plan to counter the opposition's quickest players today?
I have told my defenders to harass their opponents as soon as they receive the ball. If we let them run at us, we will concede at least three goals.
That sounds sensible.
The individual duals will be key today. If our defenders allow them to run, we will be in trouble.
After this statement, your defensive players lose 5 morale points.
I really think you underestimate our defenders. My players are able to deal with fast players.
After this statement, your defenders win 2 morale points.

_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, how do you plan to counter the technically superior players of today's opposition?
We intend to let them know they are in a game as early as possible.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 2 points. That sounds good.
You don't win football matches with good technique alone. If they don't fight, they won't beat us.
The morale of your players rises by 3 points.
Of course we have to pay attention to the creativity of the opposition. If we allow them to pass the ball around, they will punish us.
The morale of your players drops by 2 points.
543
36
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, your opponent's defence is regarded as being the meanest in the league. How do you plan to breach it today?
No defence is invincible. We will just have to work it down the wings and take a chance by pushing forward. That is the only way.
Your players are convinced. You win 1 morale point.
We'll let the opposition take the game to us. Then we will hit them on the counter-attack.
The fans don't think much of that. You lose 2 points popularity.
What is important today is that we focus on our own strengths. The defence of today's opposition can make mistakes. You have to be alert and take advantage of them.
Your attackers win 2 morale points.
544
37
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, your opponent's defence is regarded as being the worst in the whole league. Can we expect a goal fest today?
If we go into this match with that attitude, we probably won't manage to score a single goal. Actually, I don't think that it will be easy today.
The fans think that is ridiculous. You lose 2 points of popularity.
After conceding so many goals, their defence will have worked very hard in training. Our strikers certainly won't be given much time or space to shoot.
The opponent's manager nods in the background.
I am very optimistic. Some teams have shown how you can embarrass this defence. I have seen all the videos.
That sounds promising. You win 1 popularity point.
545
38
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, the opposition's strikers are regarded as the best in the league at present. Do you expect a real thrashing?
The opposition are very dangerous. A lot will depend on how we survive the first 30 minutes.
The morale of your players drops 1 point.
If our defence concentrates and doesn't give the opposition time or space, they will be able to shut them out.
The morale in the team rises by 2 points.
Some of my defenders will learn something during this match. There is no question about that. My only hope is that our attackers can cause them problems, too.
The morale of your players drops by 4 points.
546

_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, _PLAYER_NAME, your leading goal scorer, will be missing today. Will you be hit by this loss?
Of course, we can't effectively replace this player. Despite this, I am quite optimistic for the match.
The player wins 1 morale point.
Understandably, his unavailability is a concern. It is a bitter blow, as his presence and skill on the ball will be sorely missed.
The player wins 2 points morale.
That is no problem. I am convinced that we have strength in depth and the players who can make the step up. _PLAYER_NAME can concentrate fully on his recovery.
The player loses 1 morale point.
547
41
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, how do you plan to win here without _PLAYER_NAME?
I have complete confidence in all the players in my squad. Although this is not an ideal situation, we will be able to compensate.
The goalkeeper selected at present wins 3 morale points.
I have total confidence in my reserve goalkeeper. He has to command the defence and give rational instructions, and the opposition will have great difficulty in getting through on goal.
The goalkeeper selected at present wins 2 morale points.
When the ball beats the goalkeeper, it is unfortunately a goal. For this reason, I am a little concerned as to whether his deputy will be up to the task.
The goalkeeper selected at present loses 5 morale points.
548
42
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, _PLAYER_NAME, your opponent's leading goal scorer, will be missing today. Is this a big advantage for you?
That is certainly a big advantage for us. We have great respect for him. Normally he is always good for a goal.
_PLAYER_NAME is flattered by that. He wins 2 morale points.
Well, when he has a good day, he is very dangerous. On the other hand, you can never be sure that he will have a good day.
The opposing players win 2 morale points.
I don't care who the opposition manager selects. Our own performance has to be right.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 1 point.
549
43
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, _PLAYER_NAME, your opponent's first choice goalkeeper, will be missing today. Is this a big advantage for you?
Of course, we will attempt to capitalise on this.
A wonderful, meaningless answer.
There is no real advantage, as I don't believe he is that good. In any event, we have to shoot powerfully and accurately.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 2 points.
Their reserve goalkeeper is very capable and will have a point to prove today. That is a disadvantage for us. Their first choice 'keeper would have suited us better.
The morale of the opposing goalkeeper rises by 2 points.
550
44
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, your goalkeeper _PLAYER_NAME is at present completely out of form. Why do you persist in playing him?
In the case of a goalkeeper, especially, it is important to believe in him and to encourage him in difficult times.
_PLAYER_NAME wins 5 morale points.
Do you seriously think I should select my reserve goalkeeper just because things aren't going well for once? _PLAYER_NAME will be back to his best soon, believe me.
Your reserve goalkeeper loses 3 morale points.
I have thought about replacing him but then decided to let _PLAYER_NAME play. But he can't afford many more mistakes.
_PLAYER_NAME loses 2 morale points.
551
45
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, your opposition's goalkeeper has a real form crisis at present. Will you attempt to exploit that?
He is certainly not very confident at the moment. I hope that we can benefit from that on a couple of occasions. But, basically, we will play our usual game.
The morale in the team rises by 2 points.
It is a very dangerous thing attempting to shoot on sight. The goalkeeper will soon warm up and save every single shot.
That is correct. Your popularity with the fans rises by 2 points.
We have to use every opportunity for a shot at goal, at some stage one will go in.
The morale of the opposing goalkeeper rises by 3 points.
552
46
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, what will you do to combat the opposition's dangerous free kicks today?
That is a big worry for me. I will be very nervous when they get a free kick in a dangerous area.
Your goalkeeper loses 5 morale points.
We will attempt to upset them early on. If we have to foul them, then we must do it as far away from our penalty area as possible.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 2 points. That sounds good.
I don't think that the opposition's free kicks are that dangerous. It is important that our wall is positioned correctly and that our goalkeeper is in good form.
The reporter is surprised at your calmness.
553
47
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, what special measures have you taken to prepare for this match?
This match is the same as any other. We haven't trained specifically for them. We have a long-term plan anyway.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 1 point.
My objective is not to prepare us for one opponent. They have to prepare themselves for us.
The players win 2 points of morale.

_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, your opponents have the worst goal scoring record in the entire league. Do you believe that they will provide much of a threat in front of goal today?

After this statement, your defensive players lose 5 morale points.
There are no reasons to underestimate the opposition; everyone gets lucky once in a while.
The opposing players win 2 morale points.
Teams like these are the most dangerous. I have told my players that they will have to keep focussed today.
That sounds wise. You win 1 popularity point.

It will be difficult. But we will win 2-1.
The reporter appears to be satisfied with your answer.
I will be happy with 1 point today.
The reporter looks at you a little sympathetically.
559

_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, do you believe that your team can compete seriously in today's match with so many players out injured?

The reporter has heard this before.
We will try to compensate for that with a strong team spirit. We won't make it easy for the opposition.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 1 point.
It is certainly a big handicap for us. Our reserve team isn't very strong.
Your reserve team listens to that attentively and loses 2 morale points.

_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, do you believe that the opposition can put up serious challenge today when they have so many players out injured?

The reporter has heard this before.
They will attempt to compensate for this with a strong team spirit. They won't make it easy for us.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 1 point.
It is certainly a great handicap for them. Their reserve team isn't as strong. It is inevitable that there will be gaps for us to exploit.

_PLAYER_NAME is a great addition to our team. I am convinced that he will start with a good performance today.
Your player _PLAYER_NAME likes this statement even if he won't hear it until after the match.
Today is his first match. He will need some time to adjust to his new team-mates style of play.

He is still a bit behind in regards to training. Essentially it is a matter of practical match experience.

At the moment I don't see our senior pros as being good enough for me to think it impossible to leave them out. I want this to be understood as a clear signal.
Your established players lose 2 morale points.
It is simply a matter of attempting to protect our first team players a little. The pressure on them is intense. Today we are playing against the ideal opposition.

_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, the derby we are facing is traditionally extremely important. Do you feel any particular pressure before such a match?
This is one of the most important games of the season for me. The fans demand that we give our all and beat the opposition today. I know that.

It was noticeable that the opposition tried to compensate for this by working harder. We didn't have any great advantage.

It wasn't a good match today. We simply didn't apply enough pressure going forward although we were still better than the opposition.

_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, a lucky draw in a disappointing match. What was the reason for that?
Both teams gave each other too much respect in the game today. Neither team had any confidence in itself.
That was exactly what we all saw.
It was a lucky day for us today, we couldn't have complained if we had lost.
The popularity with the fans rises by 1 point, at least that was an honest answer.

It is not my job to judge that. Anyone in this job would have a tough time.

I said they should pass the ball and let the opponents chase it. They misunderstood that.

We have made mistakes before this match. Perhaps they looked worse today as they led directly to goals.

I would prefer being trounced once than constantly losing by the odd goal. We will discuss why internally.

Right now I can think of ten matches in which we looked outclassed. The team still has a lot to learn.

I wondered if the referee was using a new yellow card and had to keep checking that it worked. That was ridiculous.

Yes, you could see it that way. Our opponent was very aggressive, we were not. That won them the game.

_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, a very fair game with no bookings. It wasn't played with the utmost commitment, is that correct?
Yes, I will discuss that with the team in debriefing. You can't play like that. Anyone who goes on to the pitch with this attitude should have stayed at home.
The morale of the players drops by 2 points.
It was a good clean match. We should all be proud about that. But nevertheless the match was played with commitment.

I can't listen to this. You can't measure commitment by the number of fouls and bookings. That is ridiculous.

Well, the keepers were in good form and the pitch was certainly not the best but I don't want to give any excuses here.
The popularity with the fans drops by 2 points.
We just missed too many chances. Normally my players take those chances in their sleep - blindfolded.
You have a good sense of humour.
That's football. We had several chances but couldn't put them away, and they only had a few chances but scored at will. Our strikers were awful.

Luckily we relied on their poor finishing. You cannot afford to do that in football.

Indeed. With a little more concentration from some players we could at least have gained a point. Perhaps I expect too much of them.

It is OK for my team to play poorly occasionally. But I can't accept this today. There will be repercussions.

_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, in extra time, your opponent showed you how to win a game through guts. A lesson for your team?
By the time your team understand that football is also work, it will be too late. By then they will be managers.
Very nicely said, but that's the way it is.
Football is not like an electric light where you can press a button and suddenly turn it on. We didn't have the right attitude from the start and we paid for that.

Your players are comforted. They thought you would be brassed off.

Your team started energetically today, _TITLE _MANAGER_NAME. You were one up before the opposition got going. What did you tell your players before kick-off?
We really did get off to a flyer but you can't always plan for that as a manager. You always need a bit of good fortune.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 1 point.
Yes, we had planned that. We wanted to get at them right from the first minute.
The opposing manager pulls a face.
Actually we wanted to be patient but then we got a chance and took it.
The opposing manager sighs quietly.

_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, was the early goal the key to the win today?
Certainly. We grew in self-confidence. You can then change tactics accordingly.
The morale of the players rises by 1 point.
No. But an early goal is good for the match. After that our opponents had to put their cards on the table.
You are the clichΘ king.
That's half of the battle. Their defence was shaky and we could pick holes in it. You have to admire my forwards.
The morale of the attackers rises by 3 points.
648

_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, was the early goal for the opposition half of the battle for them?
To concede an early goal is always frustrating. You've only just got onto the pitch and are already one down. The team failed as a whole.
The morale of the team drops by 1 point.
The goal was certainly partly responsible. The defenders were asleep.
The morale of the defenders drops by 2 points.
I wouldn't want to have my half-time team talk published. I gave my players a rocket but it didn't have any effect.

_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, the successful conclusion to a great season so far. Are you annoyed about the break now?
Yes of course, we were doing well. In my opinion we could have played a few more matches.
The fans agree with you! Your popularity rises by 1 point.
That's the way things are, I don't need to get worked up about it. The association thought out this nonsense, as a small manager my views are of no value.
The association didn't like to hear that. For that remark you have to pay a fine of _MONEY_2.
I think the players have honestly deserved a break. They've given their all up to now. They all deserve a holiday now.
The players are already looking forward to being able to put their feet up for a few days.
650

_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, not a very successful season for your team so far. Are you glad that there is a break now?
No, not at all. It is not too nice to go into the winter break in such a bad position.
The fans agree, they are annoyed. Your popularity rises by 1 point.
The season has gone very badly for us. We had other plans. The break gives me a chance to think about the situation.
Your president clears his throat and whispers to a member of the Board of Directors. (You can see that out of the corner of your eye.)
I have been looking forward to the break. It gives us the chance to regroup and then come back stronger.
The reporter and the listeners think that that is an empty phrase.

_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, in training you are concentrating very much on _PLAYER_NAME. Is there any particular reason?
I expect a lot from him, so I am encouraging him more than the others at present. But he has to take his chance.
_PLAYER_NAME wins 3 morale points.
That is a coincidence. Basically, I treat all my players the same.
The morale of the players rises by 1 point.
_PLAYER_NAME has simply had a dip in form recently. I am trying to help him out of his slump. I know he can do better.
_PLAYER_NAME is also thankful for that. He wins 1 morale point.

_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, do you put this defeat down to the desolate condition of your team?
We were not able to play our game as we wanted to. "Desolate" is hardly the term to use.
Your popularity with the fans drops by 1 point.
How dare you describe my training work like that? My player's fitness is due to the training they have put in, we are also doing ball work.
The morale of the players rises by 1 point.
There is certainly room for improvement. So far I've structured my training a certain way but expect the players are in for some tough weeks.

It is always very nice when the hard training pays off. My players know if they work hard they will get the results.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 1 point.
I know that many players don't like the fitness training. But that doesn't matter. Anyone who is a player with me must be aware of that.

_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, fairly sterile until half-time but then your team slipped through the gears and ran away with it, even though they've not been renowned for their fitness.
Football is not just running. I have deliberately concentrated on other sides to the game. That could be seen today.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 1 point.
I was surprised as well. But my players are always very serious in the training sessions and that shows through.

I will do that in the future. I have also noticed weaknesses.

_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, your goalkeeper _PLAYER_NAME is in very poor shape. Do you not need a goalkeepers' coach?
I believe that is his problem. He will overcome the crisis alone if he works harder.
_PLAYER_NAME loses 2 morale points.
That is a good point. Perhaps I should put more effort in this area. A bit of fresh air cannot do any harm.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 1 point.
_PLAYER_NAME will get through this. All he needs is a few good games and his self-confidence will return.

In the next month or so we shall be looking for a suitable candidate. You are right that we have a problem there.
Your reserve players win 3 points of morale.
Currently there are no players in the reserves who have anything to offer. A special coach would just be a waste of money.
Your reserve players lose 10 morale points.
There is no good candidate available. That is a responsible job which I can't give to just anyone.

I'd like to keep the team together for next season. There is not going to be a big shopping spree.

No, we will be bringing in at least one more player. I may offer contracts to a couple of the youth players.

No good club can afford not to use everything in the search for new talents. We are working on this.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 3 points.
You can't moan about a lack of up-and-coming players all the time, you have to do something about it. We simply offer young players the best conditions for their development.
The morale of your youth players rises by 2 points.

_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, you have put a lot of money into the improvement of the training ground for your youth team. Doesn't the first team need the money as well?
You have to think of the future. I can't manage the club as though I was only concerned about the next match.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 2 points.
That's a very short-sighted way of thinking. Maybe some fans think that way but the youth represents the future of our club.

You are right. Something has to be done about it. I shall look at it for next season.
Your popularity with the fans rises by 3 points.
The fans should use the public transport system. That costs us less and is much better for the environment.
Not all fans like overcrowded buses, therefore you lose 2 points of popularity.
There are more important areas in the club which require investment. I think the fans would prefer a strong team rather than a good car park.

_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, currently your club has huge assets at its disposal. Do you believe that the money is well invested?
It has always been very important for us that the players and employees of this club can work in the best conditions. You must lay out capital to achieve this, you can't make any savings there.
Your staff like hearing that.
We have gained so much through these investments that they have definitely been worthwhile. Just think of the youth policy and the outstanding medical care!

Of course, our Board of Directors cannot be happy about recent events. But I believe they are still backing me.
A member of the Board of Directors alongside you nods and picks his nose.

_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, you have some quite unhappy players in the team, mainly because they rarely get a game. What can you do as manager to placate them?
I can't comfort everyone who doesn't play. The players have to demonstrate how good they are, then they will surely play.
The players concerned gain 2 morale points.
Maybe I will make some changes in the coming weeks. I am still thinking about that.
The players concerned lose 2 further morale points.

We will have to wait a while for that. They have to handle the step up to the big time.

I still see that as a drawback, but currently everything is going so well that it's not an issue.

_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, could the present problems in the team be due to the fact that your players can't understand each other?
The language of football is international. That's not a problem. Anyway, most of them can speak English.
That old chestnut will cost you a quid.
Nonsense. The guys get on very well with each another. Our problems are because of other reasons which we are looking into.

That is one reason. Some of my players are simply too lazy to learn our language. We will be addressing that.

There's a long way to go, our first priority is to get the necessary points to avoid relegation.

I don't think so. We may not have a "lovey-dovey" feel around here, all players enjoy training. We are highly focused.
One of your players shakes his head in the background.
We do have a few players in the team who upset the atmosphere a bit. It is understandable that you quickly get frustrated if you have to always watch the matches from the bench.

For this remark you have to pay a fine of _MONEY_1.

982

990
_PLAYER_NAME can accept this

993
_PLAYER_NAME can't understand it

_PLAYER_NAME is a good player, but we haven't spoken to him at all.
That sounded very convincing.
If I wanted to talk to _PLAYER_NAME, I'd be talking to him, not to you.
A very arrogant statement, which might come back to haunt you.
1199
51
Look, I've got a photo; isn't that enough proof for you?

That's not me.
At this, even the cynical reporter has to laugh!

I'd rather not talk about that. _PLAYER_NAME knew what he stood to lose if he leaked this ahead of time.

If _PLAYER_NAME is going to behave like that he has to expect this kind or reaction from us. It was stupid and unprofessional. There are plenty of other good players who can play in that position.
Nevertheless, the fans would have liked to have him in the team.
1202
54
You didn't withdraw your offer for _PLAYER_NAME this week, despite the fact that he broke his secrecy agreement with you. Why?

In retrospect, perhaps I should have been a little firmer to set the right tone.
You have lost 2 points of popularity with the fans.
Well, secrecy is really no more than a negotiating tactic. I don't take it that seriously.
Other players have certainly heard the same thing. That wasn't very smart.

Look, if someone is interested in him we will just have to listen to their offer. At any rate, we will not be improving his present contract.
_PLAYER_NAME has lost 3 morale points.
I can assure you that we will not be releasing _PLAYER_NAME under any circumstances. He is under contract to us and he will be staying with us.
_PLAYER_NAME is relaxed about the situation.

The players have to take the credit for this performance. Their concentration was excellent and they played really well. I have to congratulate them.
Each of your players earns 3 morale points.
We talked a lot about tactics, and the players followed my instructions perfectly. I have no complaints at all.
So your tactics were key? Each of your players loses 1 morale point.
It's too early to count our chickens; there are still 45 minutes to play. I expect another good performance in the second half, otherwise we'll have nothing to show for our efforts.
Each of your players loses 3 morale points. A little praise would not have gone amiss.
1342
5-2
_MANAGER_NAME, it's been closely-fought so far. How do you intend to approach the second half?
We simply have to remain patient and wait for the opposition to make a mistake. We are confident of taking our chances when they come.
Each of your players earns 2 morale points.
Concentration is what's most important now. The game is finely balanced - whoever scores first will win.
The reporter agrees.
We're going to crank up the pressure. The game is there to be won, but we have to be brave. And we will be.

1343

_MANAGER_NAME, _CLUB_NAME are a really strong team. Does your side have any chance at all?
Not if we continue to play like that, but we're still in this - we haven't given up yet.
You're not asking very much. Your popularity among the fans decreases by 2 points.
No, this game looks like a lost cause. The scoreline is a bitter disappointment, and some players haven't performed at all. It's been a pathetic display.
Each of your players loses 2 morale points.
We certainly have a chance if we get a goal soon after half-time. We will have to come out with all guns blazing.
Your popularity among the fans increases by 1 point. Even if the prospects are bleak, at least you're not giving up.
1344
5-4
_MANAGER_NAME, your team is all over the place. Don't the players understand what's at stake?
I can understand why you're asking the question. Our supporters certainly haven't been given value for money. We have not been very clever at all. I don't know what some of my players are thinking - but perhaps I'm better off not knowing.
Each of your players loses 2 morale points.
Of course they do, but I think the tension has got to some of them. Now that we have nothing to lose, you're sure to see a different side in the second half.
Each of your players gains 1 morale point.
That was a lazy and disgraceful display. I'm going straight to my players now to demand an explanation. If their attitude doesn't change in the second half, there will be hell to pay.
Your popularity among the fans increases by 2 points.
1345
5-5
_MANAGER_NAME, have you underestimated the opposition? How can you get more out of your players?
We certainly haven't been playing with the right attitude, and it's going to be difficult to turn around. Some of the players will be watching from the dugout in the second half; I'm hoping that their replacements will seize the opportunity to show what they can do.
Some people will be asking the question, "Who's responsible for the team's attitude?"
With respect, I think you're missing the point. The opposition are proving very difficult to break down. They're closing down our players and not allowing us any space. We have also been short of ideas up front and in midfield.
Your popularity among the fans decreases by 2 points. Arguing that the opposition is tough won't get you very far.
It's too early to sum up the game. My players have got another 45 minutes to redeem themselves.
Each of your players gains 1 morale point.

It looks like it. Only a great optimist would still be hoping for a turnaround.

We were favourites before the game started, and I expect my team to show why in the second half. I will not let players perform like that for another 45 minutes.

I must apologise to our supporters on behalf of the team. It's been pretty dreadful so far, but we still have 45 minutes to turn the game around. We haven't lost yet.

_MANAGER_NAME, it's now just a matter of damage limitation, isn't it? What's your view?
I have to agree. We could throw caution to the wind and make things even worse, but that won't get us anywhere. We'll just have to continue as we are.
The fans understand the situation and share your view.
I don't care how many they score; we have to make every effort to get back into the game. We won't achieve anything by sitting back and defending.
Your popularity among the fans increases by 1 point.
Yes, we are out of our depth. But we can learn a lot today. It's important that the players don't lose heart, even if we concede a few more goals. I want them to do their best.

1348
5-8
_MANAGER_NAME, you can't stop scoring today. Can you reach double figures?
That's a pretty big task. No, I don't think we can, but I think we could get one or two more.
The supporters would be happy with two more goals as well.
Why not? I wouldn't mind that, and neither would the fans! I think we'd all enjoy it.
Your popularity among the fans increases by 4 points.
No chance. We will be trying to conserve energy and avoid injuries, which is much more important in the context of the rest of the season.
Your popularity among the fans decreases by 2 points.

_MANAGER_NAME, your players appear to be letting you down again. Will the next 45 minutes be your last with the club?
I find your question offensive. It's a pity that you can't think of anything better to ask.
Practically everyone agrees. You are applauded as you enter the tunnel, and several people pat you on the back.
I don't think so. I know that my players will give everything in the second half.
The fans are fed up with these rallying calls. You have lost a further 2 popularity points.
That's got nothing to do with you.
You were too easily upset. Your popularity among the fans has fallen by 2 points.

_MANAGER_NAME, did you expect the opposition to be this strong?
Yes, we knew it was going to be a tough game, and we certainly need to improve. My players have been punching below their weight. We can do better than this.
Each of your players earns 1 morale point.
We're simply not playing good football. We're playing too deep in our own half and not taking enough risks. That's no way to win a game.
The fans are less interested in an analysis, than in a solution. Until you formulate a remedy, you lose 2 popularity points.
We've certainly found them in good form. As a manager, there's not much you can do. Let's hope we can buck up our ideas in the second half and turn the game around.
Such comments won't get you very far. Your popularity among the fans decreases by 3 points.
1351
5-11
_MANAGER_NAME, did you expect the game to be as easy as this?
It hasn't been easy. We have to remain on our guard in the second half, but my players have everything under control.
Each of your players earns 2 morale points.
No, I didn't. We haven't encountered any serious opposition yet, and long may it continue. We want to give our supporters something to cheer about today.
Your popularity among the fans increases by 2 points.
I'm not entirely satisfied. We could easily have scored one or two more. Now we have to be more cautious in the second half.
Each of your players loses 1 morale point.
1352
5-12
_MANAGER_NAME, that was a sensational performance by your team. Are you in great form or is it a case of poor opposition?
Well, they are allowing us to play and we are taking our chances very well at the moment. I'll be happy with a similar performance in the second half.
Each of your players earns 1 morale point.
Let's not get carried away - we haven't won anything yet. Yes, we're in a very strong position but one goal would put them back in the game. It's vital that we keep our concentration.
Your popularity among the fans increases by 1 point.
I'm very satisfied with my team's performance. Our tactics and team spirit have been good, and I've no complaints. But I don't want to talk about the opposition.
Each of your players earns 3 morale points.
1353
5-13
_MANAGER_NAME, if this pressure continues in the second half, will your side be able to hold on??
Obviously we rode our luck in the first half. But the other side will become more nervous as the game goes on, so we are still in with a chance.
Each of your players earns 1 morale point.
Of course. My players want to win this game, that's obvious.
Each of your players earns 2 morale points.
It's great to be in the lead at half-time, but the odds are still stacked against us. I expect them to step up a gear after the break.
Your players' morale drops by 2 points. If you don't believe in victory...
1354
5-14
_MANAGER_NAME, _club_name look surprisingly weak. Is there a good chance of an upset today?
Yes, if we don't exploit this opportunity, then we've only got ourselves to blame. You don't get a chance like this very often. I'm sorry, but I have to go and talk to my players.
Your popularity among the fans increases by 2 points.
I don't regard our performance as a surprise. My side has nothing to fear from today's opposition, you can be sure about that.
The team's morale increases by 2 points.
We're certainly looking to exploit this opportunity, but it won't be easy. We certainly got under their skins in the first half, and I'm sure they'll have a different attitude after the break. We have to be resolute and give it everything we've got. If we do, we're in with a chance.
The team's morale increases by 1 point.
1355
5-15
_MANAGER_NAME, the penalty miss by _PLAYER_NAME was a turning point. Is there any way back?
It's not over yet. There's no point losing our heads - we have to remain convinced that we can win. The game is still there to be won.
Each of your players earns 1 morale point.
Yes, it was a huge disappointment and the game would look a lot different right now. But I'll be speaking to _PLAYER_NAME in a moment and geeing him up - at least he had the bottle to take the penalty. We owe it to him to fight until the final whistle.
_PLAYER_NAME earns 2 morale points.
I'm not happy. If there are any doubts in your mind, you don't take the penalty. I'll be reminding _PLAYER_NAME of that in a moment. If we lose today, at least I'll know why.
_PLAYER_NAME loses 10 morale points. Everyone is capable of missing a penalty.
1356
5-16
_MANAGER_NAME, you have a one-man advantage. Are you now certain of victory?
Not at all. If I see a player not giving his all, I'll take him off straight away. I intend to respond quickly, within 5 minutes if necessary.
Your popularity among the fans increases by 4 points.
Well, the sending off hasn't hurt our chances. I expect my players to be smart enough to exploit the gaps that are bound to occur.
Your players gain 1 morale point.
Well, we're obviously the favourites now. We will win this if we remain focused. We have to keep our minds on the job and not slow down. I'm sure that won't happen once I've impressed that on the players in my half-time talk.
Your popularity among the fans increases by 2 points.
1357
5-17
_MANAGER_NAME, you've been unable to capitalise on your one-man advantage. Where do you need to improve?
Our short-comings up front haven't escaped my attention. Some players have evidently been thinking that it's going to be an easy game now. But that's not the way I see it, and I'll be saying that loud and clear in just a moment.
Your strikers lose 5 morale points.
Above all, we have to close down the opposition. I don't want us to leave ourselves open to counter-attacks. I don't have any concerns up front - I'm certain that the goals will come in due course.
Your strikers earn 2 morale points.
We're still not exploiting the flanks to full advantage. We could make life much easier for ourselves if we used the full width of the pitch. I'll be explaining that to my players again in a moment.
The supporters share your view, but they expect your words to be followed by deeds.
1358
5-18
_MANAGER_NAME, your opponents are not making the most of their one-man advantage. What are your players doing well, and why are the opposition failing?
We've been making up for our numerical disadvantage so far. You can see that everyone is running that bit harder. The team is still competing very well, and I hope that they can keep it up.
Each of your players earns 1 morale point.
The opposition haven't shown any tactical imagination. Unless things change, they won't score at all in the second half. Some of their players are performing well below par.
Your opposite number, _MANAGER_NAME_2, heard your remarks and clearly disagrees.
I expect them to step up a gear in the second half. My opposite number is unlikely to put up with this kind of performance - I certainly wouldn't. But my players will be ready to respond; we're going to make life difficult for them.
Each of your players earns 2 morale points.
1359
5-19
_MANAGER_NAME, you're down to ten men. How will you change your tactics?
Well, the crucial thing is that the players are going to have to work harder. We have to prevent situations in which we could be outnumbered. If we succeed, we can survive the second half here as well.
Each of your players earns 1 morale point.
It's essential that we try to go forward. Sitting back is not going to get us a result. We need to keep our heads up and try to score after the break.
Your popularity among the fans increases by 1 point.
Well, we have to be very careful. I'm considering the option of bringing on another defender to make sure that we're sound at the back at least.
That doesn't sound like a good solution. Your popularity among the fans decreases by 2 points.
1360
5-20
_MANAGER_NAME, what do you have to say about being banished to the stands?
It's completely out of order. To be given your marching orders for something as trivial as that is ridiculous. This referee is a joke.
Your remarks are certain to be followed by a fine.
I suppose I did lose control briefly. But you can see more from up there anyway, so I'll consider it an advantage.
Your popularity among the fans increases by 2 points.
These things happen, but I think the referee has got it wrong this time. A warning would have been enough. The media will blow up this story, but really I'm not the aggressive type.
You showed everybody how easy-going you are.
1361
5-21
_MANAGER_NAME, you looked like a bored spectator in the dugout throughout the game. Have you lost interest?
That's what I always look like. I conserve my nervous energy for half time.
You don't appear very convincing. The fans feel sorry for you.
Once the players are on the pitch, there's very little the manager can do. Anyway, the players can't hear you over the noise of the crowd.
Such resignation breeds rumours. Nobody looks you in the eye as you make your way down the tunnel.
I was making every effort to remain calm today, but I can't keep it up. Once again I'm sorry to say that the performance wasn't good enough. Perhaps the players aren't capable of any better.
The team's morale decreases by a further 2 points.
1362
5-22
_MANAGER_NAME, you're always making a big song and dance on the touchline, but to no avail. Why do you make such a fuss?
That's just the way I am. I have to vent my frustration. And you don't know how they would play if I kept quiet.
Your players are irritated by your comments and lose a further 2 morale points.
It's just a show. If I kept calm, everybody thinks I'm either fed up or unwell.
You make your fans smile and earn 2 popularity points.
It would be nice if some of my players took notice. If some of them showed the same sort of commitment, I could sit back and relax. I want to win this game.
Your fans agree. You gain 2 popularity points, but each of your players lose 1 morale point.

_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, what did you think _PLAYER_NAME played like in the first half?
He's had a shocker, even my Gran could see that, and she's been blind for 5 years. He must improve in the second half or he's coming off.
_PLAYER_NAME is very angry and disappointed about your verdict.
He's been in and out of the game so far. He's capable of, and has produced, far better in the past.
_PLAYER_NAME cannot understand that.
He's had a stormer. Their chairman's popped his head around the door at half time and tried to sign him. I jammed his head in the door and told him he's got no chance. That was a class performance let's hope he can keep it up.
_PLAYER_NAME is very happy about the praise.
1601
5-24
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, how do you think _PLAYER_NAME got on in the first half?
He had a stinker. There's no place to hide out there. I want to see a massive improvement in the second half.
_PLAYER_NAME accepts this. He vows to perform better in the second half.
That was an average half for him. We all know that he can do far better than he's shown so far.
His team mates think that he has played really badly. They are not sure what you have seen or are trying to say.
He's had a great half, hasn't he? That was the kind of performance that makes you glad you went hungry for the week to afford the entrance fee. For sure.
His team mates have no idea what you are on about and stare at the floor.
1602
5-25
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, 1-0 at half-time, thanks to the goal from _PLAYER_NAME, how do you see things now?
It's a big goal for us but now we have to protect it and look to build on it. We've got to give 110% in the second half if we are going to win this match.
Your supporters share your opinion.
I'm chuffed that he put that chance away. Not everybody is capable of putting away a chance like that. He was the man on the spot and took it well.
_PLAYER_NAME is very happy about your praise.
No, he didn't score the goal, it was _PLAYER_NAME_2.
This answer has left everyone shocked. Your supporters are gob-smacked.
1603
5-26
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, what do you say about the goal scored by _PLAYER_NAME?
Sure this was a big goal for us, but we've got to keep plugging away and maintain the work rate in the second half. Keep this up and we'll win this match.
Your supporters are astonished, but they think that you must have simply ignored the interviewer's mistake.
Oh I'm obviously chuffed that the lad scored that goal. Not many can take a chance like that, but he put it away nicely. I've given him a pat on the back at half time and told him to get another.
This answer has really surprised people. Your supporters are stunned.
You clearly need to get a new pair of glasses, he didn't score the goal, it was _PLAYER_NAME_2.
You have paid attention and spotted the mistake. It spared you the embarrassment of agreeing with the mistake.
1604
5-27
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, what do you think the referee has done so far?
He's the main reason we're trailing. I've rarely seen such an inept performance as this guy is giving. I would have told him at half time but he's been hiding, so he knows.
The supporters are uneasy with statements like that, even if you are obviously right.
He's not got everything right but I can't criticise him for that. He's human after all, it's difficult out there, and everyone has off days.
That shows your class. The fans also believe that the team should not get rattled by the referee.
So far, so good. He's been excellent. I can't say this very often, and don't quote me on this, but I fully agree with each and every decision he's made out there.
The fans are confused by your statement. The referee obviously wasn't in control of the match.
1605
5-28
_TITLE_MANAGER_NAME, how do you rate the performance of the referee?
My niece could do a better job and she's 3, likes dolls and can't say much. Seriously I've rarely seen such a poor referee.
The supporters don't like rash statements like that. The referee is obviously not the only problem for your team.
He's got some decisions right and some wrong. I'm not going to moan about it, but everyone has bad days.
The interviewer and the supporters wonder what you have seen.
I'm not one to praise these guys normally, but I've felt he's got the big decisions right and that's what you want. He's been a good referee in that half. Let's hope it continues.
The interviewer and the fans fully agree with your statement.
1606
5-29
_TITLE_MANAGER_NAME, will you bring on your super-sub _PLAYER_NAME in the second half?
Well the way things are going I will bring him on pretty soon. Something has to happen out there.
The fans are pleased with this news.
Well first I have to talk with my players, then I will make a decision. One thing's for sure though, we need a different attitude in the second half. I will make sure of that.
The fans also hope that the attitude of the team will change. But they still want an additional attacker.
Not just yet, we haven't reached that state. First off I want the players who were there to have a chance to rectify things. Then we'll see.
The interviewer likes this attitude, but having watched the first half performance he doesn't think that it will work.
1607
5-30
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, your team seemed to be very tired in the first half. Is your training method proving too strenuous?
No, I don't think so. If the team's performance doesn't improve in the coming 45 minutes, the team might find themselves training harder next week. This is a matter of willpower.
Your players won't be too happy to hear this.
It's possible that is true. We're going to train a little bit less this week and see how the team get on in the next match.
The players are glad to hear that.
It's shoddy, the players won't get away with that. Our training regime is not too taxing. You shouldn't believe what the papers say all the time.
The players are not happy to hear that but feel a bit guilty.
1608
5-31
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, why is _PLAYER_NAME still getting picked despite his poor performances in the recent matches?
Listen, I have faith in him. I'm not going to remove him from the team just because he's not on top form all the time. He's an important player for us.
The player is glad to hear that.
He's going to have to improve to stay in the team. If he doesn't start performing in the second half, I'll have to drag him off.
This puts _PLAYER_NAME under more pressure.
Of course I am not happy with his performance. My dog has been whining and covering his eyes too. Let's face it he can do a lot better. But the whole team aren't performing either, so let's not blame one player.
The whole team aren't happy about your statement.
1609
5-32
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, is your team intimidated by the huge crowd here today?
Intimidated, no. My players have enough self-belief to cope. The stadium isn't a factor. The game is still up for grabs.
The players also believe anything is still possible.
It seems so, but this is totally understandable. Their supporters are great. I would like to see our supporters get behind the team like that!
Your supporters don't like statements like this. This will not make you popular.
Clearly it's a factor. My players couldn't handle the pressure in the first half. They need to show that they have learnt from that in the second half. They need to be men.
The players are not too happy with this statement. A little more support could help sometimes.
1610
5-33
_TITLE _MANAGER_NAME, do you think that the current league leaders will go on to become Champions?

1611

_PLAYER_NAME_2 played very well so far. It was a brilliant goal.
_PLAYER_NAME is not happy about the fact that you did not know that he scored the goal.

1612
5-35
