Great celebrations for Black and Yellow after successfully defending the title: team captain Felix Passlack accepted the Championship trophy at 12:54hrs. The reactions to the 4-0 victory over VfB Stuttgart.

Hannes Wolf: „Even if this does sound curious now: we did not play good football in the first half, we hit long balls far too early. That was wild and not at all the way we had imagined it would be. We knew that we still had quality on the bench that we could bring on. The substitutions changed the game. We had decided only to bring on Jann Serra when the game was already decided. He was tired after a long, intensive season and the European Championships. Even if we had not won the Final, we could still look back on a fantastic season. It is incredible what the club, the people all around it and the parents have achieved in the last two years.”

Felix Passlack: „the first 40 minutes were not how we had imagined them to be. It is wonderful to be German Champions for the second time. A great feeling. I hope that each one of us will find their way into the top division right down to the third division. We will now fly to Malle until Wednesday and will really go for it.”

Jann Serra: „after the European Championship and three weeks of full power and being totally concentrated, it was difficult for me to get right back into it. I had a slight injury in the semi-final against Leipzig and Dario Scuderi scored twice. So it was totally OK for me to be on the bench for now. The team’s success has priority. It could not have worked better: I came here as a central defender and have scored 20 goals as a striker.”  (br)
