Maximilian Eggestein: “We finally played well at home again. Now we need to soak up the atmosphere and take the good feeling with us into the next game.”
Jiri Pavlenka: “The win was extremely important for our confidence. We really wanted to win. We used the ball brilliantly. We wanted to take the game to them, not just defend. We knew that we had nothing to lose.”
Niklas Moisander: “We knew that we would get chances if we played bravely. We’ve got our confidence back. The fans were absolutely amazing. We’ve had lots of bad performances at home, but we’ve finally got a win again. I was really determined today and tried to give the team lots of encouragement.”
Marco Friedl: “It was a classic cup game under the lights at the WESERSTADION. You start to forget where you are in the league in these sorts of games. We played with confidence, from the first minute to the last. In the end it was a close, but deserved victory. We need to do this in the league now as well. You could see today what we’re capable of. We know that we don’t deserve to be in the relegation zone.”
Milot Rashica: “First of all I’m really happy for the fans. It hasn’t been easy for them recently. When we play like we did today we’re capable of winning every game. And that’s what we did. We had nothing to lose today. Sometimes you try everything but the ball just doesn’t go in. We scored some great goals today. There have been times in the past when we’ve played well but come away with nothing. That wasn’t the case today and we want to take this momentum with us into the next game.”
Leonardo Bittencourt: “We worked well as a team today. I’m proud of the boys. We did our talking out on the pitch.”
Davie Selke: “It means so much to us. We knew that Dortmund are a tough opponent, but anything is possible here in Bremen. The team deserve a huge compliment, especially for today. These are the type of nights that make me proud to be here.”
Florian Kohfeldt: “Tonight was really fun, but also extremely nerve-racking. The best, and most important thing, is that it was an even game and we played our style of football again. I haven’t seen that for a long time unfortunately. We perhaps should have scored even more goals. Nevertheless, I’m delighted for the guys who got their goals out their today. They will take a lot of confidence from it.”
