Post-game comments: "We totally outplayed Stuttgart"
There were smiling faces all around when the Borussia Dortmund players and officials came out to face the media after the 6-1 win over Stuttgart. They all agreed that it was a great display from BVB even if there were some lapses in concentration before the break. "In the first half we lacked a bit of concentration, but after the interval we worked ourselves into a frenzy," said sporting director Michael Zorc.
Nuri Sahin: "It was a great game from us even if we there were some lapses in concentration in the first half. We came back well after their goal and it was important that we took a lead into the break. And in the second half we totally outplayed Stuttgart and left them without a chance."
Kevin Grosskreutz: "We played a great match and I think the result speaks for itself. Not everything was perfect, especially the opening 20 minutes, but it was a well-deserved win, even by that kind of scoreline."
Marco Reus: "We lacked a bit of focus in the first half, especially in the opening 20 minutes, but we raised our game. It was important that we were ahead at halftime. We stepped on the gas after the break and put the game out of reach quickly."
Michael Zorc: "In the first half we had some poor phases in our play and we lacked a bit of concentration. I´m happy that we still managed to score our goals at the end of it. Especially after the break we worked ourselves into a frenzy."
Roman Weidenfeller: "In the first half we weren´t as focused as in the second. In between we were careless and invited them on to us. We did a lot better after the break when we were moving the ball better from the back to the front and we clinically took our chances."
