Christian Heidel: An excellent away performance

Schalke’s first win after the winter break is in the bag. The Royal Blues are returning to Gelsenkirchen with all three points after a deserved 2-0 win. Schalke04.de got the match reaction.

Christian Heidel:

I think it’s a huge win for us away from home. We’ve worked hard for this all week and deserved the three points. We were a bit surprised when Amine decided to take the penalty but he dispatched it with aplomb.

Naldo:

It’s a great day for me. It’s an honour to overtake Ze Roberto as the record Bundesliga appearance making Brazilian. It shows I’m always help the team and the fact I got to help my team with a goal was even better. Today, we put in a solid performance as a team. Our team spirit was great, I’m delighted to be a part of this club.

Max Meyer:

Today was the perfect away performance against a side who are very good at home. Until now, only Leverkusen and Bayern have won here. Now, we can join that group. The whole team is happy to have got three points once again – especially away from home it gives us great confidence. We kept our concentration ‘til the very end. We did give Stuttgart a sniff and continued to threaten on the break.
