Head coach Sebastian Hoeneß: “Reaching the halfway point of the season with 32 points is not to be taken for granted. The reaction from the team to Frankfurt’s equaliser was incredible. The spirit and the desire are there. The boys know that they can very often come back and create something. You felt that and saw that again today – and that’s a very important basis for the rest of the season.”
Deniz Undav: “It was a very wild game. I think I could’ve scored three or four goals at 2-1 – that would’ve settled the game earlier and calmed it down, but we made it nervy. Thankfully we were able to get the win in the end.”
Ermedin Demirovic: “I’m very grateful that I’ve received the trust of the coach after my long spell on the sidelines and got to start. It’s even better that I managed to score and help the team. We take the three points. It’s an incredible evening and certainly a special day in my career.”
Nikolas Nartey: “Scoring my first Bundesliga goal was a wonderful feeling. It’s a very nice and important win, and also a deserved one. I’ve constantly worked hard after all the setbacks and always believed in myself. I’m very thankful that I’m fit and healthy and can give something back with my performance.”
