“It was very close match and very difficult for us. We had a lot of problems caused by Corona and today we won very hard battle. This was one of my hardest matches since I become coach in Dusseldorf ” said coach Danny HEISTER.” I was focused on this match and I did not think about the one we are going to play against 1. FC Saarbrücken in the semis. However Borussia has always one goal and that is – to win.”
