Managers’ reaction
Urs Fischer (Trainer Union Berlin): “I found it impressive how the team delivered. It was a very mature performance for me. We were very dominant in the second half. I didn’t have the feeling that I was being influenced from outside got to.”
Niko Kovac (VfL Wolfsburg coach): “We didn’t accept it, played far too well, weren’t in a duel. We let ourselves be fooled, we don’t have enough power up front. We have to make sure that we work with more people get into the penalty area. That’s the only way you can create chances.”
