Reactions: “Where Dortmund play, there’s never a dull moment!” | OneFootball

Managing Director Sport Lars Ricken (in the mixed zone): “Where Dortmund plays, something is always happening! It was the same against Hamburg. After it went to 2:0, you couldn’t necessarily expect it anymore. But we came back. Compliments to the team, they really showed character. Nwaneri was always involved in the dangerous moves we had. Even if it wasn’t his goal: he was decisive (for the 3:2, ed.). I’d also like to single out Fabio: he scored a goal and set one up. I’d also like to highlight Waldemar Anton: not only because he brilliantly set up the 1:2, but because of how he held the defense together.”

Sporting Director Ole Book (in the mixed zone): “Despite everything, football is still a results business. That’s why we’re pleased with the reaction in the last half hour and with a successful start to the season. We can analyze everything else over the next two days, because then we already have the next match. The substitutions had a significant impact. We know we have a good squad, and that because of that we can decide games late on. Even so, all of us would prefer if the impetus on the pitch were even stronger from the start. It was a very intense game. In some phases, we let ourselves be outfought.”

Gregor Kobel (on Sky): “They did a very good job with their pressing and closing down. They also kept putting us under pressure from open play. We had a very hard time getting into the game, struggled to put combinations together, including on second balls, and were chasing the game a bit. After that (after the goal that made it 2:1, ed.), it was an open game, a bit back and forth, but we scored the goals. It feels very good to win here.”

(in the mixed zone): “That was pretty crazy, and for us it was very nice that we won the game. Once we started playing with three midfielders, the game changed, so that we had a bit more control. I always try to keep the ball in play. That’s my style.”
