Speaking in the mixed zone, Sporting Director Ole Book emphasized that superior efficiency in both penalty areas secured the three points against a formidable home side. Defender Waldemar Anton echoed those sentiments, pointing toward vastly improved game control compared to previous visits to Stuttgart.
Both figures noted that defensive patterns established last season continue to yield clean sheets.
“It was an evenly matched game, but at the end of the day, our superior efficiency and stronger defending inside the box secured the win,” Book stated. Anton added: “Compared to our game here last season, we played with a lot more control and allowed very little defensively.”
