“Very proud of the team”

Sebastian Hoeneß, Deniz Undav and Nick Woltemade give their reaction to VfB’s DFB Cup triumph in Berlin.

Head coach Sebastian Hoeneß: “I’m over the moon. I’m incredibly proud of the team, of the performance and of what we’ve achieved together. The fans also deserve credit for the way they carried us; they were unbelievable. I’d like to express my respect for Bielefeld – they never stopped running and showed great heart. We’ve got a long night ahead of us. After that we’ll have plenty of time to digest what we’ve achieved.”

Deniz Undav: “It’s an indescribable feeling, it’s just insane. We’re absolutely delighted to have won the title. That was our dream and our aim – and now we’ve done it. But it was a lot of hard work. We’ve got the trophy so now we’re going to celebrate with the fans.”

Nick Woltemade: “I’m lost for words to try and describe my emotions right now. It’s incredible that we’ve achieved our aim. Our first goal helped us really get into the game and a lot of things went right for us. We kept pushing each other, everyone supported each other. It’s just unbelievable that we’ve won this trophy as a team.”
