Dieter Hecking felt Wolfsburg displayed more energy and willingness than CSKA Moscow in its1-0 Champions League triumph.
Wolfsburg coach Dieter Hecking said his side's dominant performance surprised him as it downed CSKA Moscow 1-0 to mark the club's return to Champions League football.
Julian Draxler's goal late in the first half was all the host needed to secure all three points at the Volkswagen Arena in Wolfsburg's first contest in Europe's premier club competition since December 2009.
After qualifying via the playoffs, CSKA is into back-to-back Champions League campaigns for the first time since 2007, but Hecking was still surprised that his side looked the part more than the Russian powerhouse.
