“If you look at the last 15 minutes, you can say Hannover were just as difficult to beat as we’d expected. We should have wrapped it up earlier. We should have been winning by more before half-time. We had four or five really good
chances. Our task is to put pressure on Dortmund,” he was quoted as saying in an interview to the club’s official website.
