Edin Terzic (to Sky): “It was a real fight; we got a large portion of luck. It was an important and amazing win. It was intense, but not the perfect football. We didn’t have many chances to score but we took them. The three points were important today.”

After a difficult week where Werder suffered three consecutive defeats, the Green-Whites turned their slide around with a win over Hertha BSC on Friday evening. Niclas Füllkrug’s late header gave Werder victory in what had been a tight and cagey affair. “It was a good and mature performance. The goal was the only difference between two very even teams,” explained head coach Ole Werner after the game.

FC Managing Director, Christian Keller said: “Mark and his qualities going forward make him a player that can make the difference. On the way to European qualification, Mark was a key player and a leader. We are convinced that he will be just that once he returns from injury. Therefore, we are really looking forward to seeing him back on the pitch again soon and that he will be staying in Köln past summer.”

Having recently faced off against his former team Bayer Leverkusen, Bastian Oczipka prepares to do battle with another ex-club on Sunday (15/12). The left-back joined the Royal Blues from Eintracht Frankfurt in the summer of 2017. “Of course, it’s no ordinary game for me,” says the 30-year-old.

“We’ve got a lot of young players with potential in our squad and we wanted to get an experienced man in our midfield, especially now Niklas Dorsch is ruled out injured for a long time. Julian will help our team both on and off the pitch with his sporting quality, his mentality, his character and his experience,” said Stefan Reuter, FCA sporting director.

“We had imagined that differently, that we would hold up better there,” Thomas Müller explained afterward (via kicker).

Jesper Lindström: “If you look at the whole game, Gladbach weren’t bad in the second half either. But we took our chances and that’s what football is all about. If you put away your first opportunity, of course it’s going to make things easier. We did that well today. I have to share the praise [from Sky pundit Lothar Matthäus] with my team-mates: Kolo is incredibly important for me because we complement each other well and are both fast, but Daichi [Kamada] and Rafa [Borré] also help me time and time again. That was already the case last season, but this term we have even more options. Mario [Götze] and Seppl Rode are also extremely important for us.”

There was some bad news for SC Freiburg the day before the game, as Daniel Kofi-Kyereh, who twisted his knee in training on Thursday, was diagnosed with having torn his cruciate ligament, ruling the midfielder out for the rest of the season. All the best with your recovery, Kofi!
