The coach used the moment to highlight the intense physical work Ache has put in over recent months.While teammate Joel Schmied joked internally that Ache sometimes can hardly move in training, Kwasniok stressed that this is exactly the kind of effort that produces such moments of genius.He called it a great sign that Ache now runs himself into the ground so much that by the 80th minute he has to ask to be subbed. For Kwasniok, Ache has taken the hard way this season and is now indispensable part of the team.
