“His entrance was truly magnificent”

‘We came here to Tenerife with the ambition to play our football. I think we achieved it despite the defeat.’ Murat Yakin saw a team on the pitch that he liked.

‘She showed great solidarity in the first period. Afterwards, she believed in her chances, explains a coach still weakened by the flu. I am very happy for Joël Monteiro. His entrance was truly magnificent. The regret this evening is to have conceded three goals from two unfortunate penalties. In attack, the efficiency is still not there. We scored two goals, it’s true, but we should have been even more efficient.’

On an individual level, Joël Monteiro is not the only one to have scored points with the coach. ‘I liked Simon Sohm’s match, Miro Muheim’s too,’ he said. And there was, of course, the great performance of Yvon Mvogo. He proved this evening that playing in Ligue 2 does not affect his performance. He has a very important place in the group. I know he will always be there. But Gregor Kobel remains, of course, our No. 1.’
