If Klose had converted the cross in extra time I would have gotten the proverbial pat on the back. It was his kind of situation, but he didn’t convert.

It wasn’t just order and discipline. We dominated which is not easy against the Dutch.

He told me that he wanted to do something new. It’s a pity but we have to respect it.

We were put under some pressure after the break and we weren’t able to liberate ourselves or get the second goal which could have been decisive.

It paid off that he played for us after all the goings on. With him we are now sixth in the table and the team with the best form.

We must not think that we’ve already achieved something great. We are in a good situation, no more and no less.

My impressions are more than positive, all my 23 players are fit and all have been practicing well.

With all due respect, it was still just a friendly, although we would have liked to have won that game. But a friendly is a lot different from a tournament match.

You can’t win a match when you don’t score.

Our reputation was not built on words, but on our record.

It was a bit bumpy in the first half hour. That was probably down to the game on Thursday, but we came back and had a lot of chances on the counter-attack. It’s good to...

He is a very important player to us and it would be too risky to select him now. It’s better for him at the moment to continue to train with Bayern.

I was hoping my players would beat the opponent in one-on-one situations. They did, but never scored. Latvia showed why they’re here.

This is bitter the team is devastated. I will try and lift their spirits. But if you can’t score a goal in two matches against a team like Sofia, then you can’t advance.

We felt it just couldn’t go on like this.

There are better teams but there is quality in ours, even if that hasn’t been obvious lately. If we believe in ourselves, we will be hard to beat.

After the early disappointment for giving away the late goal, we are now more confident for the next game. We played a very good match for long stretches. But that’s past. From now on, it’s...

He is a great talent but he is here to learn.

But the important thing is that each of our players brings out his qualities just like they did against the Dutch.
