Clemens Fritz: “We played well today and deserved to win the game. It never felt dicey out there. However, if we’d taken another one of our chances, it would have been more comfortable. At the end of the day we still won the game. It wasn’t lucky, we deserved it.”
Alexander Nouri: “We played the perfect away match. The overall performance impressed me today. The lads worked hard together and deserved the win. We were patient and were impressive on the counter when we had the chance. We’ve played like this in recent weeks but were rewarded for our efforts today.”
Max Kruse: “We were strong in the tackle, showed plenty of will and fight but also played good football. The lads worked well together, stayed compact and kept at it constantly. We also had a bit of luck. We deserved to win the game.”
Frank Baumann: “We came here with a winning mentality and you could see that out on the pitch. If you don’t think you can win, you don’t stand a chance. We didn’t give much away today and stood firm throughout.”
