Reactions: “Fabio looked dangerous from his first touch” | OneFootball

Lars Ricken (in the mixed zone): “He had circulatory problems (regarding the substitution of Konstantinos Karetsas, ed.). There had been no indication of that. He went to the hospital for further examinations. It wouldn’t be serious to speculate at this point. Nevertheless, of course we can be happy about the win. It was an absolute feat of strength. It gives us a good feeling to start the Champions League season like this. It was nice to see that the players who came on gave absolutely everything. Nwaneri had a good game. Jobe (Bellingham) really cleaned up in midfield again, and Fabio Silva made the difference. I have to compliment the team, because it’s not easy when you see a teammate being carried off on a stretcher and you don’t know exactly what’s wrong with him.”

Ole Book (in the mixed zone): “We had a lot of good moments in terms of play and had the game under control. Around the time of the first goal we conceded, we lost our rhythm a bit, and Villarreal had a few chances as well. We mustn’t forget that they were third in the Spanish league last season. Overall, we showed our quality at both ends of the pitch. Right now everyone can see that Fábio Silva is doing a great job up front. And everyone already knows that Serhou Guirassy is one of the very best strikers around.”

Gregor Kobel (on Prime): “It was a hard-fought win. I don’t know if you’d call it a workmanlike win. We also played some really good football today at times. But yes, in the end it got a bit tense again. It was a good game, and I think we deserved to take the three points. Fabio (Silva, ed.) is in tremendous form. He brings great energy to the game. He was lively today, ran a lot, and looked dangerous right from his first action. It’s fun playing with him. When he’s like that, he’s very, very dangerous.”

Serhou Guirassy (on Prime): “I’m very happy with the result. It was a crazy game and once again a very special atmosphere. Of course I’m very grateful to Fábio for his great assist. We really enjoy playing together. We have a lot of fun together in training, he’s a great player. I’m glad things are going so well for him. We could have done without conceding those goals, and that’s something we still need to work on. But in the end we’re happy that we won. It gives us confidence for the rest of the season.”
