Marsch praises team's second half performance: "With power, confidence, and better ideas."
After a wildly entertaining (if not draining) nine-goal tit-for-tat on Wednesday evening, Leipzig trainer Jesse Marsch still managed to find words to describe the performance of his team.

"If we wish to keep up, we can't allow so many easy goals," Forsberg said afterwards, "We could have shown a bit more courage, but it wasn't bad at all."
New RB trainer Jesse Marsch seemed to think the team demonstrated enough courage. Nukunku's tallies brought the team back from a two-goal-deficit twice, even if they were never able to draw level. Marsch particularly liked how the team responded to a 1-3 half-time deficit that could have led to a complete surrender.
"The way we played in the second half was very good," Marsch said, "With power, confidence, and better ideas. We responded well, but it proved too little against this opponent."
"We have to learn," Forsberg added, "The plan we had today was good."
