Coach’s Perspective

I am a bit flabbergasted that we really managed to send Hamburg home with twelve goals. The initial phase was still very balanced and we lived that we completed very consistently and then we win against this team, wich previously makes their parades and thus creates speed gates. after halftime, we were always able to wait a bit of what Hamburg does and have a good answer. A lot of patience, it is clear through the tempo game that we are almost surprising.play.
