Favre : “You have to play smart. There were two buses parked in front of the opposing goal with a 4-1-4-1 system. It was very difficult to score. But you also have to be patient so as not to catch a counterattack. You have to keep playing sensibly and don't forget to defend."
Favre : "The opponents were very low - we have to play faster and smarter with the ball. I was a midfielder myself and I know how to do it. But we did it and won 2-0. That was our job and we did our job."
Erling Haaland: “We often had the ball and had to play fast football. We knew our chances would come. It was difficult. In the end there is victory and we have three important points. We were patient - Zenit played well too. It was an important victory."
Akanji: “We needed a lot of patience today and luckily we were rewarded with three points. We had to win after losing in the first game. We want to win every game and that's what is expected of us. It's not pressure, it's our incentive."
Akanji : "We didn't give up and kept coming back. But we also played small and small too often and the last pass often didn't arrive."
