00:00 When we played 11 against 11, I think it was a fantastic game from both teams.
00:04 Both teams wanted to play forward, both teams pressed good,
00:07 both teams had good solutions with the ball.
00:10 And then it's always not easy to play against 10,
00:13 because then it's a different game. They stay a little bit deeper,
00:19 close, wait for the transition action and then you need a good
00:22 counter pressing, a good rest defense. It was a big topic
00:25 in the half break. At first we spoke about our positioning, what we want to do,
00:29 what we have to do now. And then always I said, guys, we need intensity and
00:33 energy and we need a 100% good rest defense and counter pressing.
00:38 Well, this was the key. And then we come with a good energy in the
00:42 second half, immediately in on the front foot. It was fantastic for my team.
00:45 And when you look back now, the last two weeks, I think it was for everybody
00:50 a hard time. A lot of games, we had a lot of injuries,
00:53 suspending, red cards, all the things. But we did well as a team.
00:58 And I'm very proud of my team again. It was a good start in the second half.
01:01 And then we had immediately the second goal and I think
01:04 we missed some good opportunities to make it higher and higher. But
01:08 honestly, today I'm happy with the performance because
01:11 the energy was there from all. And then you see,
01:15 after the Preston game, it was not easy because then
01:19 I was not really clear who is available, who not. And then
01:23 it was to take time. In the morning today we train again.
01:27 Then we took the hotel. It was also good preparing for us.
01:31 Yeah, it was great from everybody to be ready for this and
01:34 I'm very happy with the moment. It's easy to speak about mentality, but at the
01:38 moment this is a big strength from our team.
01:41 And then if we do our basics right, then you see also we can
01:45 play good football, play forward. If we find the spaces
01:50 behind the last time, but also between the lines in the red zone, it was
01:54 fantastic. I like this, but I know it's a
01:59 long way in the second leg.
02:03 At the moment we are closer on the line, but not
02:09 over the line. And we have to work hard and I will demand
02:14 again and again for my players until we reach our goals, for sure.
