Florian Kohfeldt:

„Big compliment to the team. We only had to survive one moment today, that was 1-1. It was important that we quickly make it 2-1 and keep our faith. We would do well not to overestimate this very nice evening „But to continue working hard and with concentration. From now on it’s all about Ulm again.“

Gerhard Struber:

„Congratulations to Darmstadt on their well-deserved victory. It’s very bitter. Because we were overwhelmed for the entire duration of the game. We weren’t good enough to hold our own here. We didn’t find control in any phase. We always had it in our basics as well as in Don’t focus on duels and moments of possession in order to cause problems for the opponent. The victory is therefore well deserved for the Darmstadt team.“

Philipp Förster:

„A huge compliment to the team. That was a step in the right direction. Above all, we played a very good second half. In the first half we didn’t do well against the ball and had little access. But we held on, We invested a lot and struck cleverly at the right times, but we also set some good points offensively that we could have capitalised on even more. After the break, we tried to create more pressure on the Köln defence. Then we made it 3-1, which was very important. The bottom line is that conceding just one goal against such an opponent also speaks for our defense will be the basis. Now we’ll celebrate a bit. Then we’ll have to do more next week.“

Fynn Lakenmacher:

„We are extremely happy. There is hardly anything better than winning 5-1 at home. We went into the game with a good concept, were hot and greedy and very effective – especially in the counterattack situations. We were clear at the back at times a bit constricted. But overall we defended well and were extremely effective at the front. Köln is of course a strong team. But we wanted to play to our strengths, which worked very well. We are on the right track. „
