Bosschaart shared his excitement after a dream start to his new role. He said during his post-match presser: "I don't dream very often, but this is a scenario you hope for. "The things the staff planned worked out and if I was also able to add my own touch, it feels really good. "This was a team effort. We have to compliment everyone. We defended incredibly well and had an attacking plan with the wingers. "The boys have also played some great matches before with fight and passion. "The only thing you have to do is take away the pressure and give the boys confidence. "We succeeded in doing that, but it is not me who must take the credit. "We are by no means safe, and we could have won the game 2-0. But we are in a good scenario."
