“We said goodbye to him. When Karim was in the locker room for the last time, we all said our goodbyes and even chatted for a while. We wish him all the best if everything goes well, and we’re confident it will. Now we’re focusing on the players who are here and those who are yet to come,” he said.
“Karim had his strengths, that’s clear. What we will undoubtedly lose is speed. With his speed, we could create dangerous situations. But we are working on it. We will diligently ensure that we adequately, and even better, replace the players who have left. It will be difficult.”
