Roi Sánchez: “We needed the win today. I think we played reasonably well too, despite the pressure that was there. We knew this game was extremely important for us. We were consistent throughout the game, we had bad luck with rebounds and mistakes, but in the end we were lucky that Zharko’s throw went in and Lipovina’s throw went next to the goal. We were in a difficult situation, but we have now won three games in the last four games and I am just very proud of my team. It is not self-evident what we have done. It was difficult for us without left-handers and yet we made it. Today against Balingen in particular it was difficult because Jens Bürkle’s team did a great job. Although they were four goals behind, they were able to get close and it was an uphill battle for us. Now we are very happy and relieved. “
Jens Bürkle: “First of all, congratulations to Stuttgart and Roi on hard-fought points. I think it was a self-sacrificing fight for both of them today. Stuttgart really resisted today. Although they had to play in the back room without a left-hander again, they always looked very creatively for solutions and did it really well. So congratulations. I think we have our moments here today when we can win the game. At 24:25 in particular, there is a risk that it will finally tip over and that is where we do not put the crucial pinpricks. I am not 100 percent satisfied with a few things, a few things were also wild. Nevertheless, Stuttgart earned the points today, even if we would have liked to have taken something away from here. We were maybe a bit worse than the TVB in the crucial moments. “
Tobias Thulin: “The derby win today is really nice. We just needed that today. The many spectators in the hall gave us great support and that was extremely important for us. The whole team worked really well together and that’s why we’re just happy about two important points today! ”
