I Went Crazy and Tried to Transcribe Three Different Post-Match Interviews with Ronald Koeman

But then I came to my senses and decided that this was a pointless waste of time so I  only finished transcribing one.  He said more or less the same thing each time. The other two  can be found here and here.

This is this one I finished. (I cleaned up the false starts, verbal tics, and at least one irregular verb. ) 

Q: Ronald was that as near to a perfect performance as you could have asked for?

Koeman:  No, it wasn’t perfect because we had some mistakes in the first half.  We had a fantastic start, fantastic first goal.  We deserved it because we controlled it totally.  But after 30 minutes, we didn’t press like we did before.  In two situations Fraser did a great job. And after the third, it was played to the game.  They went down in a mental way.  I think that is normal in the situation that they are in.  We played the last 10-15 minutes good.  We kept the ball.  I think it isn’t to do it better, how we scored the fourth to end it like that.  I heard 33 passes to score like what Morgan did.  It was a great finish and a great result and I’m proud of the team and we did it in a very good way.

Q:  You seemed to surprise Newcastle with the strength of your start to the game.

Koeman:  Yeah, we spoke about that.  To start in high tempo and to press them because things are not so in a quiet way or not so in confidence way.  Don’t let them through the game and don’t give them the time and we did that perfect in the beginning and that was what you spoke about.

Q:  It seemed a very attacking line up with the three strikers working as well as they did.

 Koeman:    Yeah, Shane did the first 45 minutes very good.  It was a pity that  I had to change him, and do some [unintelligible] and Pelle scored 2 goals and what he did, not only did he score the goals but play the target man,  keep the ball and the midfielders took him up and with Bertrand and Clyne we have two fantastic offensive right and left fullbacks and that’s the football we like to play and we train in that and we do everything all the session with both.  I now understand it’s a physical part in football but still the ball is the most fastest on the pitch.

Q:  Did Graziano Pelle show the supporters exactly he can do today?

Koeman:  Yeah, it was perfect game from  Graziano scoring twice.  And he gave the confidence to the team.  He kicked the balls in front and now we know what the level is and what he has to bring and he needs that one or two weeks.  It’s not Holland.  It’s different.  It’s more competitive but he played fantastic today.

Q:  And starting the season as well as you have done, that must give you enormous confidence as well.

Koeman:  Yeah, of course.  It’s good results.  We started well in the way how we played against Liverpool, not in the result.  But after that we improved ourselves and the lads are fantastic training and playing, and I am proud of them.  But next week another game and we enjoy the weekend and then we prepare ourselves for next Saturday.

I don't think I will transcribe post-match interviews any more unless something important is said.
