Post-match quotes

Markus Weinzierl: “We’ll take confidence from this game. It was a strong team performance. We were very flexible today in that we switched the system a number of times, which got us back into the game. The team showed that they want it.”

Mario Gomez: “I was hoping we’d still get a winner but the point helps us, even if we could’ve got more. We’ll take the point; it’s another step forward for us.”

Ron-Robert Zieler: “We knew it wouldn’t be easy against a skilled Bremen side who are strong at home. We actually had the clearer chances in the first half after taking the lead early on. Three points obviously would’ve been better for us, but we’ll take the one and we want to build on that at home to Hannover next week.”
