«I felt very good, without any physical difficulties. I’ve been working well the last few weeks, I’m fine. Everything is under control and I’m just thinking about playing longer again,” he said after the match. The coach of the German team, Gerardo Soane, also expressed his happiness at the player’s victory.
«It is very positive for Stefan that he was able to take this step. He only played 30 minutes because we wanted to see how he reacted, it has to be little by little,” he expressed.
