Baumgartner: ''A thoroughly deserved win''

Christoph Baumgartner: ''Winning 3-0 in Leverkusen is a bit of a surprise. We defended really well against a team with excellent individual quality. We made really good use of the opportunities we had. That's why it's a thoroughly deserved win. Leverkusen came out strongly after the break, and in phases like that, it's important to resist. It's still early in the season, but if we play the way we did today, then we have a chance against any opponent. We give everything we have, that's what the coach lives by. If we're always at one-hundred percent, then we're a force to be reckoned with. When I scored, I had my back to goal, and I didn't have many other options. I tried to get a lot of power on it, which worked out really well. I have to say it was a great goal!"

Kevin Vogt: ''I really liked the way we implemented everything we had planned before the game. Every one of us believed we could get the win, and that's how we performed. We are brave and we want to make people happy with our football. That will be rewarded in the long run.''

André Breitenreiter: ''We were really impressive from the first kick of the ball. I think the win is thoroughly deserved. My team were united. We didn't want to let Leverkusen get a foothold in the game. A win like this always involves a certain degree of luck, with the ball bouncing our way in tackles and exceptional goals. We didn't give away many big chances. It was a really good performance that we can build on. I am very happy.''

Gerardo Seoane (Bayer 04 Leverkusen coach): ''We fully deserved to lose. We didn't come close to reaching the expected level of performance today. My team made too many mistakes going forward. As a result, TSG were given a lot of opportunities to hit us on the counter, which caused us big problems. I'd also say we lacked a certain toughness in the tackles, which was a factor in us conceding goals. You saw an insecure team out on the pitch today. It just goes to show how important the mental side of things is in football.''
