FC Schalke 04
bundesliga.com rounds up some of the key quotes after the Matchday 18 encounter.
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar: It was an outstanding team performance. We were extremely aggressive, but also played great football. The good start obviously made things easier for us. We dominated proceedings and showed how much we wanted to win. I was really happy to return to the pitch today and things worked out really well for me too. Our aim this season is to snatch fourth place and reach the Champions League.
Max Meyer: We were cold as ice in front of goal and made good use of our chances. There's no doubt Huntelaar is very strong up front, it's easy to see his qualities. Now we're up against Wolfsburg - we're expecting another really difficult game, but things will look good for us if we get a good result against them.
Hamburger SV
Heiko Westermann: It's about time we started collecting points. I think it took us 80 minutes to get our first shot on target, you really can't make it any easier for the opponent. We weren't playing well as a team and our passing clearly wasn't good either. We struggled to pass the ball to a team-mate.
Marcell Jansen: We had a terrible start into the game, and clearly it didn't help losing our only striker [Pierre-Michel Lasogga] to injury early on. Schalke are a very dominant side, but we cannot afford to concede three goals. The result is frustrating.
