Frank: There are few transfers that are 100% certain, and it is hard to say if you miss them.

You mentioned before that you may not have much expectations for the Champions League?

To be honest, no. The problems are the same, but there is more investment. The same problem, the same challenge, but the order of magnitude is different.

Looking back at the Premier League and those related goals, do you think the remarks were helpful? Or does that to a certain extent raise the outside world's expectations for club transfer operations?

To be honest, I haven't thought about this much. The Premier League champion will not be decided in about nine months, and now it is too far away. I only focus on one thing: go to Manchester, go all out to win and get three points, and then focus on the next game.

Can you mention Tottenham’s rumored recruitment target? Are there any risks and details in pursuing a player who everyone is worried about being snatched away by other clubs? If the opponent's club is indeed interested, will there be risks?

You can talk about Eze, you can mention Gibbs White, or you can mention other possible players - there are about a thousand players who have been reported to be in contact with us, and I can't even count them, but yes, there have been many players involved in the past five or six weeks. I could have listed them one by one, but I won't explain any players who have not joined yet.

You coached a good start, such as against Paris Saint-Germain. I know that only a few days have passed, but I feel that when something goes wrong, my mood may soon get worse, and everyone is discussing it. I wonder if you are aware of this and are there any solutions to deal with it?

I think I am an overly optimistic person. Not that I won’t be emotional or anything, but now we have two good performances – although I lost in the penalty shootout, I haven’t actually lost in the regular game.

performed well in both games and introduced two excellent players. Kudus performed well, and I think Paligna will be very helpful to us. I go to Manchester tomorrow, and I firmly believe we can gain something. I have a lot of respect for Manchester City, they are one of the best teams in England in the past five or six years - they have won four championships in about five or six years. So I am very positive now.

Guardiola said you are a top coach, what do you think?

Of course, that must be...well, I was very happy to hear such comments. Of course I believe in myself, but it is a great experience in many ways to get the evaluation of the best coach in the world. He was the coach I studied for many years, especially in Barcelona, ​​and I studied him in depth. At that time, I almost watched all the games he led the team, and I felt that he had changed his style of playing football. The rest of us just tried to keep up with him, maybe make some minor adjustments.

Do you usually pay attention to the evaluations of the outside world?

There is an advantage to not reading those, that is, I will not (influence)... Of course, I know you are talking about these, but if you don’t read them directly, you won’t have that deep feeling. I think this is a little bit. Hopefully we can win all the games, but like I said in the first meeting, we may lose some games, and there will be tough days. But now I see more of the positive aspects.

Whether it is losing or winning, whether it is signing 10 new players or not signing, I have to focus on my daily work. I want to ensure that the training is carried out smoothly, ensure that the meeting is held effectively, do a good job in players' recovery, implement all processes well, and also try my best to assist in the completion of the player introduction. This is my duty, and I will work hard to do it well.

What are the expectations for the new season?

Of course, I definitely hope that we can perform more than expected here, and that's our goal. But what's interesting is that I never deliberately thought about "beyond expectations". I just really believe...I know our budget was once one of the smallest teams, so in hindsight, it really made me a little proud to have such a result, but at the time I was only focused on cultivating players, building teams, and striving for victory, and the result was pretty good.

If (referrals) are slightly worse, will you make more changes to the signing plan like you would adjust the team's tactics?

I know very well what my ultimate goal for the team roster is, but I also know very well that I have a group of players now and I have to work with them and run in with them within the framework of the tactical principles I want. Of course, I will make corresponding adjustments based on their characteristics and abilities.
