Quotes:
“I found out that I’ll play at our pre-match team meeting. I was very pleased but then also nervous because, after all, Wolfsburg are one of the best clubs in the Bundesliga. It was even better that I got to play the full 90 minutes and I thought I improved as the game went on. I was exhausted afterwards. My debut would obviously have been even better if we’d won.”
