Defender Moritz Warnecke
"We put in a good defensive performance today and scored the goals at the crucial moments. The win before the break was very important for us. We conceded a lot of goals against Sisak, but only two today. That was a good defensive performance and it shows that things are getting better again. We really have a cool team, the older players help the younger ones and we have a very good team spirit. "
