Danny Röhl's Sheffield Wednesday praise after huge Hull City victory

Transcript

00:00 When we played 11 against 11, I think it was a fantastic game from both teams.

00:04 Both teams wanted to play forward, both teams pressed good,

00:07 both teams had good solutions with the ball.

00:10 And then it's always not easy to play against 10,

00:13 because then it's a different game. They stay a little bit deeper,

00:19 close, wait for the transition action and then you need a good

00:22 counter pressing, a good rest defense. It was a big topic

00:25 in the half break. At first we spoke about our positioning, what we want to do,

00:29 what we have to do now. And then always I said, guys, we need intensity and

00:33 energy and we need a 100% good rest defense and counter pressing.

00:38 Well, this was the key. And then we come with a good energy in the

00:42 second half, immediately in on the front foot. It was fantastic for my team.

00:45 And when you look back now, the last two weeks, I think it was for everybody

00:50 a hard time. A lot of games, we had a lot of injuries,

00:53 suspending, red cards, all the things. But we did well as a team.

00:58 And I'm very proud of my team again. It was a good start in the second half.

01:01 And then we had immediately the second goal and I think

01:04 we missed some good opportunities to make it higher and higher. But

01:08 honestly, today I'm happy with the performance because

01:11 the energy was there from all. And then you see,

01:15 after the Preston game, it was not easy because then

01:19 I was not really clear who is available, who not. And then

01:23 it was to take time. In the morning today we train again.

01:27 Then we took the hotel. It was also good preparing for us.

01:31 Yeah, it was great from everybody to be ready for this and

01:34 I'm very happy with the moment. It's easy to speak about mentality, but at the

01:38 moment this is a big strength from our team.

01:41 And then if we do our basics right, then you see also we can

01:45 play good football, play forward. If we find the spaces

01:50 behind the last time, but also between the lines in the red zone, it was

01:54 fantastic. I like this, but I know it's a

01:59 long way in the second leg.

02:03 At the moment we are closer on the line, but not

02:09 over the line. And we have to work hard and I will demand

02:14 again and again for my players until we reach our goals, for sure.
