I think we came out of the locker room with a lot of energy, more aggressively and in a very good mood. It wasn’t at all easy. We expected a tough game. The second half was a very good example of good defence, which I really like.

They have played really impressive in this season, and we knew we had to play really good to win here. In the first half, our defence was not so good and therefore we lost our rhythm, but I think we did a really good collective job in the second half as a team. Our defence was really there, and we gave Bietigheim a hard time in their attack.

From the 15th to the 30th minute, we had a phase where we defended well. After half-time there was no pace and no flexibility. We couldn't find a solution. We wanted to stay level and fight for third place in the group. Odense simply had a better performance the in two games.

A win always makes me happy. The points are very important for us, and we need all the points we can get. We are still hoping and trying to get into the top two in the group but there is a long way to go, but it is our aim right now.
Jesper Jensen
Team Esbjerg Head Coach
The players have worked hard to deliver a good fight. It was an important match for the Champions League play-offs. We had a very good first half but in the second half we made a few mistakes in defense, we played less aggressively and we also missed some easy goals. Krim knew how to keep the ball, played well and won in the end. It's hard but we know that this Champions League group is very difficult and we have to fight every game.
