“An important win”

Head coach Sebastian Hoeneß: “We knew how important this game was. The Bundesliga is the most important competition for us so we wanted to climb up the table with three more points. We did that so I’m very pleased overall.”

Deniz Undav: “Holstein Kiel played very well. They defended as a team in a deep-lying block but got forward with their pace and kept us on our toes. We played well up until we made it 2-0. We want to do better in our next game.”

El Bilal: “We’re happy to have won. It was important to win at home against Holstein Kiel. It’s a great way to round off a week in which we have achieved fantastic things. Following our wins over Juventus and Kiel, we want to keep this run going together.”
