“There’s no question – we are obviously sad after last night. But we take a lot of positives with us for our development: The mentality of the team, the desire to fight, the high concentration and the outstanding connection between the team and the fans – that was sensational,” reflected Alonso after yesterday’s exit from the European stage.
Also positive: As things stand, no other players were injured on Thursday night. Everybody is “tired but healthy,” said the Spaniard who is already looking forward again: “Yesterday we could be sad but today we are recovering and from tomorrow we will prepare for Sunday.”
According to the 41-year-old, that requires full concentration on the Bundesliga and two wins in the last two games our “enormously important” as: “If we want to be successful in the future then we have to continue to go our way. We want to experience even more nights like yesterday. That’s why we play football.”
There will be another full house at the BayArena for this season’s final Bundesliga match at home with a crowd of 30,210 (including 3,000 away fans from Mönchengladbach). Alonso again found emotional words for the breathtaking atmosphere and the ceaseless support of the fans on Thursday night: “The support of the fans before, during and after the match was fantastic. I had the feeling they were proud of us. I sensed that feeling. We want to hold on to that and keep it going.”
