“I told the boys that I was very proud of them. The qualifying group was one of the most difficult. Qualifying on the penultimate matchday is not a given, especially considering how many players we didn’t have available . That was an extraordinary achievement in the last few weeks and months.” On Burgstaller’s exclusion: “It’s a shame for Burgi, but it was still important to have him there and to be able to bring him in for Kalajdzic.”
“It means a lot to us, getting to the European Championships was our absolute goal. We always fought, tried everything to fill the stadiums again and get the fans behind us, we did that. We sparked euphoria again, “Not too much, but we have earned an appreciation for ourselves. We could have decided the game earlier, but no matter, we take the 1-0 win and are very happy.”
“The feeling is overwhelming. It’s always something very special to qualify for a European Championship. In the end, it was important that we got the three points. It felt like we played with a different starting lineup in every course, but you could feel it “We’re getting closer and closer together, even if we obviously still have to improve a lot. You can see this energy, this passion, that we really wanted to win the game.”
“It was a very difficult 90 minutes, it could have ended in a draw. In the end we had the luck of the brave. Today it was all about winning. We had an intense game on Friday and a long journey. It’s important that we qualify for big tournaments, now we’re looking forward to the European Championships.”
