"The first half was difficult. We fell below our usual standard in terms of our approach to every game. We didn't control their counter-attacks well enough, our defensive work wasn't good enough. We were a bit sloppy with the ball. And you have to give Mainz credit: they punished us in many situations."
"We said at halftime that we needed to bring more energy and more intensity. And I think you could see that from the first minute of the second half. Of course, you also have to show quality. And I think we did that with the goals we scored. But credit to everyone. To come back from 3-0 down at halftime shows the mentality we have."
