”We prepared to play a team that has had a lot of European success in recent years.”
“It was a big score but there are obviously still things that we need to improve.”
“A player has to adapt to a new city, a new club, new teammates but he [Gabriel Jesus] has done that very quickly.”
“The connection [between Odegaard and Jesus] is already there.”
“Everybody plays with that intensity and willingness to win the ball… Gabi is phenomenal at that.”
