Klopp hails overall victory, Kimmich slams half‑time issues

Jürgen Klopp (Germany, RTL) said the team had put in a really great performance. He added that we need to get used to being able to be really good. According to him, that was outstandingly good in so many moments. He emphasized that so many sequences had looked wonderful and they had found solutions in possession.

After the restart the rhythm was missing, but that was not a problem. Thanks to Brajan (Gruda) the team quickly found the rhythm again. Now on Monday they have the opportunity to progress to the next round on their own strength.

Kimmich evaluates the half-time

Joshua Kimmich (Germany, RTL) found the first half very good because it had shown good football. In the second half the team had problems at the start because the pitch was difficult to play on. He said the second half was not completely bad, but they had lost a bit of control at the beginning.

Going forward the team had one or two good chances to score an offside goal. The game took place almost exclusively in the opponent's half, which was very good at times.
