BVB beat Manchester United 3-2 in Las Vegas. BVB coach Edin Terzic subsequently drew some conclusions and spoke about Marcel Sabitzer and Felix Nmecha.
Edin Terzic on the match:
“It was a very intense match with lots of scoring chances at both ends. In the first half in particular, you saw how well they can link up if you don’t close down the centre. Then it’s difficult to stop them. But we still managed not to give away many clear opportunities in the first half. There were a few things we liked less. We hardly had any possession, were far too close to each other and made it too easy for them to press us with their only striker. But we nonetheless managed to implement a lot of things that we set out to do. We were able to win many balls back via pressing and counter-pressing and create chances in the process. It was a good and important test for us.”
…Marcel Sabitzer’s debut:
“He played an instrumental role in us scoring two goals and winning the ball back in the first half. That is what we envisaged when we signed Marcel. It is now a case of seeing that on a regular basis.”
…Felix Nmecha:
“Felix felt a minor muscle problem on the back of his thigh. We would naturally have liked him to already be on the pitch with us today. But we’re very cautious.” (cr)
