""I think it was teamwork in its purest form," said Tuchel. "We helped each other out, we had the right intensity. We put the work in to not allow one shot on target and they are a strong home team."
""If you want to do this, you need to support each other, play disciplined and keep the intensity up. This is what we did. Full credit to the team. I told you before, we had a brilliant week from start to finish and this was proof of that."
""We've only had three weeks of training and that's normally half a preseason. It takes time and in between there are weeks of pause. The players did excellent. The credit goes to them, they did amazing -- that's the bar.""
