"I'm very proud of my team"
Head coach Marco Rose, goalscorer Emil Forsberg and captain Willi Orbán react to the 3-2 win over Hertha BSC
Marco Rose:
- "It was a great game of football. Hertha played really well and Sandro can be proud of his team, but I’m also really proud of mine and the way they overcame the setbacks and fought until the end. We saw the victory over the line, even despite Hertha being really dangerous in the final few minutes. But with the games we have at the moment, this victory was really important for us. It can give us energy."
Emil Forsberg:
- "It was really exciting and we had the luck on our side in the end. I think we played well over long stretches of the game but we shouldn’t have invited them back into the game like we did in the second half. We sat back a little bit and gave them some fight with the penalty. Then we were a bit shaky with our build-up play; we need to be calmer in those situations. But our first half was really good. We’re unbeaten in five games now and we’re in a good way."

Willi Orbán:
- "After leading 3-0 at the break, the end of the game was unnecessarily tight. We discussed the fact that we have to be focused until the very end during half time, but the game tipped into their favour a little with the penalty decision. However, we defended our lead over the 90 minutes and saw out the win. We’re pleased to have picked up the three points. We’re a strong team here in front of our fans and we have to make sure that we build on that away from home now."
