Afterwards, one of Steffen Buamgart’s five personnel changes on the day spoke to the Sky mics about how the team has managed to defy expectations.
“I never had the feeling that something would go horribly wrong today,” Ljubicic told the Sky mics afterwards, “We never give up and can always turn a game around. There was a lot of variety to our our attack today. We do our thing, just like last season.”
Kainz and later Sargis Adamyan also scored for Köln on the day. Though the other goal came when Wolfsburg Paulo Otavio deflected the ball into his own net, it was certainly an earned tally as the approach play of the Domstädter was fluid and creative all afternoon.
“If you see how we play forward then this was a very deserved victory,” goalkeeper Marvin Schwäbe added in his own interview, “It was great to watch how we combined on those goals. We analyzed the opponent well. The coaches had us well prepared.”
“Everyone is important to us,” Baumgart noted, “I saw [Denis] Huseinbasic come in and almost score a goal.But we draw on what we have. And the guys are giving it their all. And today we didn’t just grind it out. We played well, too.”
