Nah they clipped it that way.
The whole press conference wasn’t like that. He was saying they all believe in Ange and the football he wants to play.
This was his way of saying the manager makes the call but he feels fine

I don't blame him, those pre-game press conferences are a nightmare. Idiots asking stupid questions to people who don't want to be there.
Might be our most important player. Massive character
his tackle in the first half was like king on robben way back when. was monstrous out there tonight.
Wrap him up until the semi-final. Simple.
He won't like it but no point taking the risk. Without him the fragile system falls apart
It’s frankly ridiculous at this level, the defence basically depends on this guys pace and him throwing himself at everything to have a chance of keeping goals out.
It’s hardly a recipe for future success.
Not his fault of course but what decent coaches could do with him is a tempting thought.
"is" our most important player. Also our best player. Those critics creeping out last couple of weeks are most definitely not seeing the same player I'm seeing
Don't be silly
The tackle was akin to one years ago when Davids played for maybe Juventus or some Italian club, and saved a likely goal. Can't recall the opposition.
The best thing about the saving tackle,goal aside is that Van Der Ven would have had to stretch those hamstrings. Good for the confidence.

All round, I still think his game is being polished and we have older, more complete players. Romero being 1 of them, but VDVs mentality and specific ability are make or break for this team IMO, so I'm pretty comfortable saying he IS our most important player, even if he's not our best (yet).
what hes good at hes actually elite at. hes obviously one of if not THE quickest CB in the world. his passing is clean and weighted really well, he can move off with the ball and burst into space with it at his feet if theres an opportunity to do it. if he can become more dominant in the air and improve his actual defending a bit then hes easily a top 3 CB in the world.
Though not the finished article he is that important to us that without him we are more or less fucked as a defensive unit
Yea he really stepped outside of his usual self last night and showed himself to be a grown man.
Acted like a leader, made important plays, won important headers- he was absolutely brilliant.
Made me see him as a possible captain next year if/when we reset the leadership team.
He’s a captain all day long for me. At the games you realise he’s one of our more vocal players but that’s not hard because we have a team of mutes.
He leads by how he plays too. On another level to Sonny regarding as to being a captain.
