Our defender was tasked with defending against the Germany international for the majority of the evening, and coped well with the challenge.
We spoke to our head coach at full-time and this is what he said:
The performance wasn’t great. We did produce a lot of chances but all of them were on counter, mainly. We didn’t have much stable possession of the football and we found it tough and I think in the end, in the second half, we looked leggy and a bit tired. It wasn’t easy for the lads to be fair because we had to manage minutes with four first team players so we had to change the team around for that reason.
