A smiling Marten de Roon shows up in the press room for the post-match interviews, his mood is different from last year’s debut: “We are very happy”.

“We’re really happy. Unlike last year, we started off well. Last year, after the first match, we were very disappointed, as we had lost 4-0. Now we’re more mature, I think, and we’ve won 4-0 here. We struggled a bit in the first ten minutes, then we played a great first half we pressed well, we recovered balls in their half of the pitch. We created many chances. We could have scored even more, but we’re happy with a 4-0 result”.

This Danish team were tough, as they made you struggle, as you said. Then you got the hang of it and you knew what you had to do, as Remo Freuler said.

“Yes. They are all teams who have won their leagues, they’re used to winning. They made us struggle in the first 10-15 minutes. Then we always get the hang of it and go for it. We started strong after it. We deserved to win. The 4-0 score is a great result”.
