Alexander Nouri: “I’m to blame for the first half, and for the second half I’m just grateful how the game ended. We weren’t committed enough. At half-time, we were able to correct that and show a different story in the second phase. We had three to four certain chances, we proved we can persevere, and earned the points after the break.”
Claudio Pizarro: “Darmstadt played well in the first half, but they didn’t have much luck with their chances. We wanted to pressure them, but we were often outplayed and were exposed at the back as a result. We acknowledged these mistakes and changed our style of play. Consequently, the second half was a lot better.
Robert Bauer: “Darmstadt were dominant in the first half, with lots of possession. The first corner was dangerous, and ‘Wiedi’ showed his class. Of course we weren’t happy with the first 45 minutes; we never had complete control at any point. We purposefully sat deep in the last 10 minutes because we didn’t want to go into the locker-room a goal down and we succeeded in that.”
Maximilian Eggestein: “The first-half was weak from us. We played poorly as a team, but we did better in the second-half.”
