The Germans are pleased with the team's performance and the fact that they finally managed to win. The fact is that Hoffenheim won the first two official matches of the season (in the Cup in a penalty shootout and in the first round of the Bundesliga), after which they lost 4 games in a row in the German league, and drew with Midtjylland in the first match of the general stage in the Europa League. Thus, the German club broke a 5-match losing streak and improved its chances of reaching the next round of the Europa League.
The most important thing, according to the fans, is that this is the first "dry" match for Hoffenheim this season. All previous meetings (even in the cup) ended with conceded goals.
Weber: The best match of the season for Hoffenheim. A very important victory that should give the team confidence after a series of defeats in the Bundesliga. We are capable of many things, but the team just needs to break this black streak and start winning.
Giovane: The degradation of Ukrainian clubs continues, so I would not rush to rejoice in this victory. Because of the war, I am following Ukrainian football a little more closely. Only one team has qualified, and even there they lost in two matches with a total score of 0:5. And Shakhtar, who beat Barcelona last season, became a laughingstock in the Champions League. Let's say thank you for the victory, but let's not forget WHO we beat today.
Kasten: Just look at the level of Dynamo's play. It seems to me that they are not ready to play in European competitions at all. Why? It's not a question for me, but I don't think it's just about long trips. When I was young, footballers could travel to other countries by bus and did not complain. The current generation is just very spoiled. And it's not just the players.
Erik: When coaches of German clubs say that there are no weak teams left in modern football, especially in European Cup tournaments, they forget about Ukrainian clubs, which have become a real gift for all rivals.
Dirk: The first game of the season to be nil! This has already become a real achievement for Hoffenheim. Because our defense this season looks as terrible as it can be.
Sturm: Even clubs from the German regional league are stronger than Dynamo. How many problems did we have in the cup match (Hoffenheim conceded two goals against a semi-professional team - ed.) and how easily did we win today against the Ukrainians?
Bolz: The match was not as easy as we would have liked. There was some tension until the last moment. I think I realized that Dynamo would not stop us from winning today, but I can't say that I enjoyed Hoffenheim's game either.
Philipp: Hoffenheim miraculously beat a regional league club in the German Cup. "Hoffenheim lost 4 out of 5 matches in the Bundesliga. "Hoffenheim suffered in Denmark against Midtjylland in the Europa League. Everything was bad until we met Dynamo. It was like a ray of light on a dark day.
Knaup: Finally, we played solid defense and didn't concede a single goal! But the opponent was of an extremely low level, so let's rejoice a bit, but don't expect a miracle in the next match. The team is still in a game crisis, it's just that today the opponent was much weaker than Hoffenheim.
Weinber: It's no secret that even a draw against Dynamo meant that the coaching staff would leave Hoffenheim. Pellegrino Matarazzo kept his job at the club, but for how long? Today we won rather due to problems against an opponent who cannot boast of good results.
Langer: The victory over Dynamo is good, but it was a minimum task for our team. We will see the real level of Hoffenheim's play on Sunday in the match against Stuttgart.
Heck: "Dynamo is just a weak team that probably won't even make it into the top 24. Therefore, the victory over them should not be decisive in Matarazzo's work. I don't know how much longer he will work at the club, but I think that the management will draw conclusions from the matches against Stuttgart and Porto.
Tresp: Ukrainians constantly complain about difficult travel to European Cup matches, but I don't think they lose because of fatigue or long bus or train rides. Perhaps they need to think about their level of play rather than looking for reasons for defeat in the pre-football moments.
Saal: This is Hoffenheim's first win since August 24. A month and a half without a win. I'm happy that we beat Dynamo, but it's not enough to talk about the team's recovery.
Rainer: Last season we beat Bayern Munich, Borussia Dortmund, and so on. Hoffenheim played so many exciting and spectacular matches! This season we are suffering in every game. Even this victory over Dynamo was not spectacular. Just thank you for the three points.
Hahn: Thank God! We played to zero for the first time this season! I can't even believe it happened. But we have to admit that the opponent didn't give us any problems on defense today either.
Emmler: The Ukrainians played equally poorly on defense and offense. No offense to the Ukrainians, but this team seems to have found itself in the Europa League by accident. They should have been in the Conference League with that kind of play.
Schueppl: It's interesting that Dynamo and Besiktas are currently the worst teams in the Europa League. Both teams recently played in the Champions League, had solid budgets and good players. And now they look sad even at the Europa League level.
Ralf: The opponent allowed us to create chances in attack and didn't really put our defense under pressure, except for long shots. My point is that we beat our weakest opponent this season. Even Würzburger (a club from the regional league) caused us more problems. To be honest, I expected more from the Ukrainians.
Dotterer: It's quite possible that with this kind of performance, the Ukrainians won't be able to score any points in the Europa League at all. That's why it was important for us not just to win against them, but to win confidently. In this respect, a 2-0 victory is far from an ideal result, because the difference in goals scored will be of great importance.
