Marco Friedl and Marvin Ducksch’s goals put Werder on course for a 3-0 victory against Heidenheim, and the crowd’s support was once again key to pushing the players forward. Marvin Ducksch commented after the final whistle: “I wish to thank every single fan who attended tonight’s game. The atmosphere that they created was incredible.” 30,000 piled into the wohninvest WESERSTADION on Friday evening, and the Ostkurve was in full voice as they helped to create an atmosphere that didn’t just give goalscorer Ducksch “goosebumps”, but also the entire team.

WERDER.DE rounds up the match reaction of the Green-Whites after the win over Heidenheim.

 

On the game:

Marco Friedl: “We accept that we got lucky on a couple of occasions in the first half, such as when they hit the post. It was unacceptable to concede so soon after going 2-0 up, even if the goal was eventually ruled out for offside. We’ll need to analyse that, but at the end of the day, we deserved to win.”

Marvin Ducksch: “We played well in the first half and got stuck into challenges, which we knew would be vital today. We’ve won against Heidenheim, and I have to pay everyone who was on that pitch today a huge compliment, because it wasn’t easy, they didn’t allow us much space. But we were excellent today.”

Milos Veljkovic: “We’d prepared a lot ahead of this match, and we started well but didn’t have anything to show for it. Marco’s goal was very important and a great response, and we even got another one straightaway, securing a deserved victory.”

Markus Anfang: “I think we were much better in the tackle today, and all we were missing at the start was a goal to show for it. After Marco’s goal we said we were going to go straight after another goal, and that’s exactly what we did. If we start a half like that, putting the opposition under pressure and being strong in the challenge, we’ll get better results than the one we got in Dresden, and we certainly showed that today.”

On the returning fans:

Marco Friedl: “They were unbelievable. This club lives for its fans, and we’ve missed them dearly. They were gone for a long time, but to have them back again and for us to provide them with a win today to top it all off, it makes me so happy.”

Marvin Ducksch: “It was crazy in here tonight with the whole crowd back in for the first time. I wish to thank every single fan who attended tonight’s game. The atmosphere that they created was incredible. We want to give something back to them and we were able to do that tonight.”

Milos Veljkovic: “The support was really important for us. It felt as though we were playing with twelve men. We’re so thankful to the fans for being so good from the start. The electric atmosphere was almost tangible.”

Markus Anfang: “I think we also made a contribution to the atmosphere tonight. We played well which got the fans cheering. The atmosphere was exceptional, and I felt as though everything would work out – we certainly needed it to.”

On Marco’s goal:

Marco Friedl: “I’m glad to have chipped in with my goal tonight. The scenes when I made it 1-0 were amazing, and it was the opener to a brilliant result. I was completely focused on the game and gave it my all, and I’m so happy to have given the team and the fans something to celebrate.”            

Marvin Ducksch: “I’ve told Milos many times before to make one of those attacking runs. This time I made eye contact with Marco and what else can be said – superb timing and a superb goal!

Markus Anfang: “I think we had eight set pieces in the first half, so it’s no surprise to have made the breakthrough from one in the second half. I’m particularly happy for Marco, but of course it’s a great help for the team when you then go 1-0 up.”
