"We want to build a playing philosophy with the team and we still need time for that."
"But we don't need time to win games in the meantime if we fight like we did today and show great team spirit."
"We will continue to do our best for you and fight for you on the pitch. "Let's do it together! I was able to help the team with my goal. That was my first and I will try to score more goals."
