BVB coach Peter Stöger spoke to sky following the victory at Mainz 05. "There were spells where you could see we're capable of playing some really good football," the new head coach said. Marcel Schmelzer and Julian Weigl also gave their take on the important win. "We need to carry this forward, build on it and continue like that in our last two matches," Schmelzer declared, with Weigl adding: "All in all, we're very satisfied. But this was only the first step in the right direction."
