Dortmund, Sahin after the 2-1 against Leipzig: “Best match of the season, important for growth”

Nuri SahinLeipzig coach, commented thus to the microphones of Sky the 2-1 success achieved yesterday against Leipzig: “The boys did really well, not only on a fighting level but also on a footballing level. That’s how you imagine it. That was our best game of the season in 90 minutes. The victory was very, very important for the path we are on.

We have already had times – here, in our stadium, but also away in Madrid – in which we did well. Since we have so many injuries, yesterday we could only train for half an hour and then we did a tactical session. There I heard: the boys understood it, now they just have to bring it to the field. The way they sacrificed themselves today, the courage with which they played, was very, very beautiful. I understand the criticisms, except those that are below the belt. Everything about football, I understand. When I signed the contract here, I knew I would be in the spotlight.”
