Reactions: “We want to stay in this flow” | OneFootball

Sebastian Kehl (in the mixed zone): “It was a commanding victory. We would have liked to score a third and a fourth goal. That would've also been possible in the second period. We wanted to keep playing with intensity and covered 117 kilometres. Heidenheim sat very deep due to their numerical inferiority, which made it difficult to find space. It was good that we were already in front at that point in time. We also won this match with a clean sheet, which was the absolute objective. The team is looking fit and we still have sufficient options for rotation. So I'm not concerned about the upcoming games.”

Maximilian Beier (to Sky and in the mixed zone): “We're very satisfied with two goals and a clean sheet. The red card was decisive. When you are a man up for almost the entire game, it makes it significantly easier. We want to compete at the top throughout the season, so the victory today was very important. We want to stay in this flow against Juventus, which won't be easy. But if we now keep playing full of confidence, then I think we're in with a chance of three points.”

Gregor Kobel (to Sky): “It is important that we try to perform in every game, to win our matches and to pick up points. The season is long – and we need to play well for a very long time.”

Karim Adeyemi (to BVB TV): “It's not easy to play in Heidenheim. We gave everything, scored two goals, didn't concede any – everything that we set out to do. After the sending-off, we played the first half comfortably through to the end. In the second, the opponent played slightly differently. We won comfortably. The season is now going to pick up momentum. We're ready for everything. This is how we want to continue.”

Waldemar Anton (to BVB TV): ”We were already doing well when it was 11 versus 11 in the first half. The red card played into our hands.. We tried to find spaces through the middle and then took in a 2-0 lead at half-time. In the second period, we let the match run its course a little. It is normal that you then give a few percent less. We should have created a few more goalscoring chances for ourselves. All things considered, we're satisfied and are happy to take the points.”Transcribed by Boris Rupert
