Nuri Şahin (Dortmund): “The boys did really well, not only in terms of fighting but also in terms of football. That’s how you imagine it. That was our best game of the season for over 90 minutes. For the path we’re taking, that was it Victory is very, very important. The way they sacrificed themselves today, how courageously they played, that was very, very good.”

Marco Rose (Leipzig): “It’s a very well-deserved win for BVB without any debate. They were better than us in many respects today. They played more physically, they were cleaner on the ball and made better decisions. I don’t want to deny my team’s will at all, but Borussia Dortmund was simply the better team. We are still a very young team and, despite the experience in our team, we still have to learn.”

Vincent Kompany (Bayern): “I have to congratulate Bo for the work he has done with his team. Union’s first half was a reflection of their strengths, very solid defensively. I was a bit worried in half one as to whether we understood how close it actually was “But I had the feeling that the team worked very hard throughout the first and second half. Then I was very happy with the performance in the second half, also because we didn’t allow any momentum.”

Bo Svensson (Union): “We should have taken the penalty better. They scored the second goal brutally. After that we have a chance that we have to convert. But we didn’t allow much and showed a good performance after this intense week. I can’t blame my team for that .”

Dino Toppmöller (Frankfurt): “It was a fantastic game from my team, it’s the culmination of a great week. It wasn’t easy from a mental point of view because the expectations were completely different. We said: turn off your head, we don’t show any tiredness, we always do it “We were greedy, wanted football, were hungry for good counter-pressing. I have to take my hat off to the boys.”

Markus Feldhoff (Bochum): “We are all extremely disappointed and have to let the game sink in for now. Personally, I have to acknowledge that all the measures I have taken in the last two weeks have not been fruitful. I am sorry that I can no longer tell the boys “I have to start with myself and take responsibility for that.”

Pellegrino Matarazzo (Hoffenheim): “We are very unfortunate to have missed the chance to break free and continue our trend. We started the game well, the goal came out of nowhere. When we are on the pitch, there are no alibis. Whoever is on the pitch We have to do it too. We have far too few points, that’s a fact.”

Alexander Blessin (St. Pauli): “We are extremely happy with the three points. We had a few problems on the outside at the beginning, so they got behind our chain very easily. But after that we were stable in our defensive formation. It was a nice feeling for the boys “To take the lead. They threw everything into it, and that cost a lot of money. I’m incredibly proud of the team.”

Ralph Hasenhüttl (Wolfsburg): “The point feels different because we really wanted to improve after winning the cup. We knew that we had to be patient. We didn’t allow anything apart from the misunderstanding. 65 percent possession of the ball doesn’t help you. It wasn’t easy to create chances against such a deep opponent.”

Jess Thorup (Augsburg): “After three away games with no points and a lot of goals conceded, it was very important that we got at least one point in the end. Nevertheless, I noticed in the dressing room that the boys were very disappointed because the equalizer came relatively late. We did “We were very good against the ball. What I missed in the second half was that we didn’t play forward enough.”

Marcel Rapp (Kiel): “We started the game well. In the second half we concentrated more on defending. We are happy that we pulled it off. A historic win. The team deserved it. We are very confident for the next ones weeks.”

Frank Schmidt (Heidenheim): “The first half was balanced for me. If we had used the big chance in the first half to make it 1-0, the game could have taken a different course. In the second half, Kiel was lurking and then was dangerous after winning the ball. We have a lot “We had the ball, but we weren’t able to create any clear chances to score. It’s a game that you don’t have to lose, you can take a point here.”
