“I am really happy with the performance from the boys; they played really well. Correa has been training well since 13 July. Competition for places is there, but today he did very well. I would have had Lauti on the bench, no doubt, but he's had a fever. Correa was always gonna play, and I just had to choose between Arnautovic and Thuram.
In the second half, I needed to give some players a rest, like Barella and Bastoni who had played matches for their national team, and I also had the problem of Carlos Augusto who's just coming back. The only concern now is Acerbi, but he said it shouldn't be anything to worry about. We'll see in the next few days.
I think Marcus has improved a lot in his finishing. He was very good today, showed great desire and attention, and is reaping the rewards. Bisseck was good; he's worked hard and is showing what he's all about.
We still want seven or eight points to reach the Champions League round of 16, and now we face two tough German teams. We need to get ourselves ready and prepared for Leipzig because they are second in the Bundesliga.”
