was a tough game, really, to be honest, they’re a good opponent. They played really well and at the beginning, we had to stay strong.
“They had a few opportunities to score, and we had a brilliant pink Pandur. He was brilliant at the beginning, but after the first goal for us, we were even stronger. We were more comfortable, especially with the ball.
“We had a lot of playing out from the back, creating some situations, but our pressing was not that high intensity, it wasn’t as high as we wanted them to press. Like I said before the game, they’re a good opponent, but how we played, especially in the second half, was really brilliant. I’m proud of my boys because at the beginning, they they had a few chances, but after scoring our third goal, we showed that we that we want to keep the ball.”
Pandur has made an impressive start to the season for Hull City between the sticks.
