Füllkrug has spent this summer developing a new strike partnership with Jarrod Bowen, as Head Coach Graham Potter has favoured a three at the back and two up-front system.
The No11 believes their work is already bearing fruit and that the link-up can only improve with more game time.
“I love Jarrod,” he added. “I think you can see the link-up is very good. I try to bring the ball to him in his strongest situation, where he can go one-on-one or go in behind.
“You could see also today, I think there were three or four situations where we linked up very well. He tried to do the same for me. Also, when I scored the goal, we worked very well against the ball.
“That's also important for strikers. We are the defenders, we recognise it too. It's very important for the team that the defenders see us [that way].
“We go for the ball, we defend with them and they help us to score goals. I love this guy. He's my skipper.
“For us, the most important thing is the team. I think that's also what changed to the last year.
“We don't need to speak so much about players, if I score, if Jarrod scores, if Malick assists. We as a team did a great job, everyone. That's the most important and that's what the atmosphere is right now on the team.
“It helps us to be successful, for sure.”
