Kevin-Prince Boateng is a great player – Hertha coach Magath

Hertha coach Magath has praised Kevin-Prince Boateng after his decision to start him paid off against Augsburg.

After the game Magath told Sky that this win was very important as the club is fighting to stay in the league.

“Of course it was more emotional because it was more important,” Magath said.

Starting Kevin-Prince Boateng, who Magath believes is the team’s sole true leader, worked out wonderfully.

“It’s just a great player. It’s a shame that he’s not 100 percent fit like other Bundesliga players, otherwise he would be a giant,” Magath added.

Magath, on the other hand, did not want Augsburg’s narrow victory to be linked only with Boateng.

​​”He was very important, no question, but I don’t want to single out just one, that doesn’t do it justice. For example, if I’ve seen how who toiled in midfield, Tousart and ‘Santi’ that was great.” Dedryck Boyata also received extra praise: “Today he also showed that he is a captain who goes ahead and takes the others with him.” he added.
