Approach to the Unknown: “We said yesterday that we had to wait for the unknown with the change of coach. We were curious to see what their approach would be. I think our answer was pretty good. It's always good to score goals, but we still grant a few occasions. Still, our mentality was very good.”
Insistence of the game through the wings: “Tossing the flanks was important, but the first goal even came from an inner combination. It was important to have variability in the game and that’s what we got.”
Low effectiveness at the start of the game: “Of course, it would have been wonderful to close the game earlier. In the first part we could have scored three more goals. In the last game, Oskar could have scored too, but we only solved the game at the last minute. It was always better to settle earlier, but we were also satisfied with the clean record.”
Management before Champions: “It was good to have everyone back and debut some players. Everyone knows how I believe in the strength of this group. Before the selection break, we will have an important game with Naples and we want to make the first points in Champions.”
Status of Zaidu: “We didn’t want to risk it, but I believe it will be in the next game.”
