I think that was what we wanted. Hopefully also you saw that we went high pressure sometimes. It was not that we never went high pressure.

So the plan was both to go into the high pressure, which we did on several occasions, and also succeed with those situations, and then there were times when we were a little bit more banked in.

You know, exactly that we were four months ago, because they're very, very good at what they're doing. And then I think the counters should have been a little bit better. But I think the main bit was that when we were on the ball, we threw the ball away too quick.

I think definitely big character to fight back. I think that's hugely important in any team that they have that and keep running, keep fighting, keep doing the right thing.

And I also think we, even that I think after the 2-0 I think we were in a strange way better. Maybe because Bodo dropped back maybe we took more initiative, you know sometimes that's the momentum of the game. But I felt that we kept doing the right thing, we kept moving the ball, kept reducing the situation from the side.

And showed great character to come back into the game, which I'm very, very pleased with. But big praise to Bodo. I think until the 2-0 they were the best team today.

I think after that the game changed a bit and I think we got more on top. And of course scored the 2-1 and then changed the equaliser. So they just showed exactly what I expected from them today.

Of course I hope we could have done a little bit more first half. Got a little bit more into the high pressure in situations. And I would say especially on the ball I felt we could and should have kept the ball better in situations.

Both a little bit of structure, a little bit brave. A little bit on the day where you just need better touches, better decisions, better passes.
