Thoughts on the first leg.

The tactics were to go and play and press high from the first minute and attack them. So, we did that and I think, that was very important to lead us towards our goal.

It’s very important. They are a very important part of the team, so I hope, they can come back very soon. We need them.

I think it was a very important goal in the semi-final tie. We won 2-1 and that goal helped the team and I’m very happy about that.
