"All in all, it was a good response." Coach Marco Rose and the first two goalscorers Mats Hummels and Emre Can were all in agreement after the 3-1 victory in Bielefeld. Here are the reactions to the game:

Marco Rose: "It was a deserved victory. After a good initial phase, it got a bit bumpy at times. In the second half, we controlled the game and put it to bed at 3-0. Then I would have liked us to keep a clean sheet. But all in all, it was a good reaction."

Mats Hummels: "We were completely focused except for a few minutes in the first half. We were on the ball, desperately trying to produce a response after the match against Ajax on Tuesday. In the first 15 minutes in particular, we kept Bielefeld penned in their own half. Then we had a period where we lost the ball a few too many times. After that, we got the game back under control."

Emre Can: "We wanted a reaction after the last game. We did that well today. We couldn't underestimate Bielefeld. It wasn't easy to play here, but we did everything in a very confident way. That's a big compliment to the team."
