"For us it's very important that we can get a win here after playing at Fenerbahce. We had two good games, at Fenerbahce and today, where we played the way we want to play. We were in control.
"You never know how you respond to a game like that, because it was intense. Maybe the positive result meant the mental side counter-balanced the fatigue.
"We knew the last 20 minutes would be difficult. When they got to 3-1 I was a bit worried, but they didn't put us under pressure."
On Podolski...
"He has always a high spirit, he's a very important player in the team and he can score goals. Everybody loves him in the squad, I want to keep him."
On Fenerbahce...
"We have made a big step, but it's not over the line. Now we want to finish the job, because that is a big part of our season. The group stage of the Champions League is highly important. I will not rest players on Tuesday night, certainly not."
On Ramsey...
"Ramsey is a young player. A year ago he was highly under scrutiny and people had major doubts.
"This guy deserves huge credit for having moved forward the way he did and we deserve some as well because we continued to develop him and believe in him."
