Niclas Füllkrug: “We clearly showed today that we’re able to dominate a match for 90 minutes. Our opponents weren’t exactly at their best today, but after everything we’ve been through over the last few weeks, today’s definitely been a good start under the new head coach.”
Romano Schmid: “It’s always important to set the right tone to the game early on. To have done that by scoring my first goal was great, but we could have done lots of things a lot better in the first half. We gave possession away a few times, and we need to improve on that.”
Milos Veljkovic: “We wanted to start the game bravely and aggressively without the ball, and we did that. If we always play like that, then we’ll be a real problem for all of the teams in the league.”
Ole Werner: “After a chaotic few weeks it was important that this game went well. We got off to a great start and then made it count by going in front. That gave the team real confidence from the off. It’s obviously a perfect result but there are also some things which we didn’t do so well – for example we gave away the ball quite cheaply on a few occasions, we weren’t very clinical or precise on some of our counter-attacks, and at times we didn’t quite play it right at the very end. There’s a lot of work for us to do, but you can still say that lads performed well today, without a doubt.”
