ball very high it's good for for for our game and uh yes of course um I think Al Al in the first half especially in the first half he could score one or two goals but uh I have to see it again because it's just the impression on the bench or when when I on the on the side um but at the end uh this is uh a goal gutter he a striker who scored goals and uh the the second goal for us was uh was the winning three points and um yeah perfect of today did you expect to start the season with these results well I'm always I always uh look positive uh in this situation so um this is this is what I what I said to to the team we we have to accept uh things we we cannot change and uh there is no um yeah no regrets about that all these things and and um it's it's all no excuses and and the the team is is really doing doing great uh all the things so I think we have uh many players they are injured and also from from the last uh season so it's uh with Frankie um Ronald is uh was um was in a tournament and uh yeah gab and when they come back uh all the others also uh Anu doing well um in the beginning of the preseason and uh hopefully it will be at the same at the same level and um yeah now we have um we have Andreas Christensen he had some problems also from from the last year and uh which you said okay now it's a situation that we have to take care about him so if he is not by 100% he cannot help us so we have also um Center Defender who doing well with Eric now also as a six number six and uh and Zi yeah and also we have um we have um the center Defender from Baza B uh they

to to improve we we cannot always so is that also what I said to to the team that uh every match is a step as step in front so we want to be better and uh this is what we what we doing so we analyze the match we we see where we can do things better and for the next match and hopefully um yeah we we see the the right things today beral played the game and he's unusual How brave is been two weeks in a row I think it's nothing to do with age it's have to do something with the performance and um he's doing good uh in the preseason in the first you can say okay he has something what we need and um today also he's is doing great was not not easy against bil because um I think they have um a good idea a clear idea how they want to to play football and they they know how to defend uh how to to attack um the space behind our behind our last four and this today was very important that we have a number six on focused uh on the defense and this is what he what he did is leandi the same player as the one you had in m Robert is absolute professional player so he's he's working hard on his Fitness and um I think this body he has is um it's it's not this age you know um and uh for me it's uh when he when he's fit when he's positive like like actually uh it helps us a lot it helps us a lot he is um we know where how to score goals and also under pressure and he was um in the second half so about the 1-1 so we need this second goal and and uh he had the chance and and he scored and and uh this is his job his job and he doing this great over years now not not not only this year over years talked about the young players this PR season or cried are you happy with the things they offer to the team yes but but it's now the team is is really great we have a a good atmosphere um the attitude they have for the training it's it's it's fantastic I like I like or we as the coaching staff we like to work with them and um it's always a pleasure um and uh the idea what we want to or how we want to play um they accept it and um of course the two wins with six points now we start with six points um it helps a lot it helps a lot because um it's not not easy you know when you press High also the last four uh a lot of space behind them and um but we doing very good and of course it's young players uh experienced players it's nothing had nothing to do with the age it's has to do something with the performance and with the performance I'm really happy H H congrats for the three points H due to the tight uh schedule and tight calendar is it possible for us to see in then in Bas uh more rotation in the in the squad thanks or you or you want to give like more continuity to these players I think I think at the moment it's it's um it's good um also that um the players on on the pitch they know how they act the the other guys next to him so uh I think at the moment this is like this but we have two matches more in in in one week and uh tomorrow we will see um what after the match
