""The three points are the most important thing today. In the end, football is a results sport. But in the first half, we didn't get off to a good start. It took us a long time to get into our rhythm. Luxembourg had chances, and actually should've taken the lead. In the second half, we were much better, had more control, scored two goals and deservedly won the game. We take the three points.""
""The performance in the first half was not good. There was a lot of back and forth, and we conceded many dangerous situations. The second half was better, we were more precise and got the goals we needed. At this point, the most important thing is the three points. We knew Luxembourg can play football. Everyone admitted at half-time that the first half was not good. We were then significantly better, with more control and more chances.""
