Dino Toppmöller: “The final score is actually one or two goals too high. We struggled a bit in the first half. The goal from Randal Kolo Muani freed the shackles and was very important before the break. It was also important to me that we played seriously until the end and kept a clean sheet. Great credit to everyone who came on, although they also benefited from the fact we’d tired out the opponents beforehand and there was more space at the end. We’ll now watch the game again, analyse it and then prepare for Darmstadt from Wednesday.”
Ultimately it was a deserved win. The new boys have applied themselves brilliantly and are all great characters, as we also saw today.

Omar Marmoush: “In the end our quality showed. Obviously everyone wants to play from the start, but the coach decides and we respect that – there’s big competition for places. I’m giving everything and putting myself forward. What matters is that when I’m on the pitch, I give 100 percent, which I’m doing.”
Kevin Trapp: “Ultimately it was a deserved win. You sense in the dressing room that we have a good team spirit. The new boys have applied themselves brilliantly and are all great characters, as we also saw today.”
