“It’s a bitter pill”

Head coach Sebastian Hoeneß, Maximilian Mittelstädt and Nick Woltemade spoke after the 1-1 draw away to Hoffenheim.

Head coach Sebastian Hoeneß: “The atmosphere in the changing rooms is what you’d expect after a draw that feels like a defeat. We played a really good match as the away team, took an early lead, controlled play and didn’t allow many chances – and what we should have done is got that second goal. We can still take out of it that we put in a good performance. I get the impression that we’re looking increasingly more dynamic and active, and that’s something that we need to carry on with.”

Maximilian Mittelstädt: “At this precise moment it’s a real disappointment. We should have taken the three points from this match – we had a lot of big chances that we didn’t take and then we conceded an unlucky goal. After that, it was too late and we didn’t manage to sneak a winner.”

Nick Woltemade: “Frustration is the main feeling today. We deserved to win that match. We needed to get the second goal early on, as that might have put the game to bed. We had a lot of chances and played with a high level of intensity, so at the end of the day, it’s a bitter pill to swallow.”
