Squad/Players understanding of interviews

[danthemanwhocan]

Hi all, 

More a curiosity than anything else really but....

Do players understand the context of press interviews and what the reply is or just that its positive, negative or neutral? 

There have been a few questions which have popped up and I feel remiss for not having saved them, where I felt the "negative" response would be beneficial to the players, so was just curious how "clever" the players are at contextualising the press conferences/interviews, etc. 

Thanks!

The positive and negative responses relate to the question that has been asked. A positive response is one that agrees with the tone of the question whereas a negative response disagrees with the implications of the question. Very often a so called negative response can very often have positive impact on your players.

Awesome, so the response itself matters, not just the tone with which the question was asked and how that is reciprocated. 

Thanks!
