Bundesliga: How relieved were you after that hugely important win in Wolfsburg? What did you make of it?
Daniel Thioune: "The same as everyone involved. We need to be honest and say that the first half wasn’t what we’d imagined. But the energy we played with in the second half, showing Wolfsburg that it won’t be that easy today. We were definitely happy in the end, but you need to create that. The team did that with incredible work rate. I think everyone was relieved at the time, but also knowing that we’ve got work ahead of us."
