Rose praises Hertha and old friend Schwarz after near comeback: “It’s a great team!”

Despite the fact that his team nearly squandered away a 3-0 lead, Rose was largely satisfied with what he saw.

“I’m mega pleased with what I saw today,” Rose said in his post-match-interview, “We were very dominant in the opening phase and earned the clear 3-0. We had a lot of grit and won the game. I’ll say again that I’m mega pleased today and proud of the guys.”

For Rose, Hertha’s near comeback wasn’t a reflection of poor play from his team, but rather the quality of the opponent. Rose heaped praise upon his old friend and Mainz teammate Sandro Schwarz. The two men played together with the Nullfünfter between 2002 and 2004. They also both trained Mainz’s reserve squad at different time.

“Hertha then came back, but I saw that coming,” Rose said, “It’s a great team! They never gave up and are generally on a really, really good path athletically. Playing against such an opponent, even with a 3-0 lead, can quickly become unpleasant. We noticed that today.”

“[I told Sandro Schwarz] how much I love him and wish him all the best,” Rose revealed, “Hertha BSC is on a really good path. That’s no guarantee of points. The situation isn’t easy. But what’s on the pitch there in terms of stability and power is really impressive.”
