Florian Kohfeldt: "Unfortunately we didn’t win today, so I’m not fully satisfied. But the way we played was very good. We matched a team playing for Champions League football until the final minutes. That was very close to what Werder Bremen aspires to and what we expect from ourselves. Anything could have happened in the second half. In total, we had more chance so I don’t think a win would have been undeserved."
Maximilian Eggestein: "I’m a bit annoyed. We played well in the first half, Leipzig didn’t have any chances. But we failed to score a second goal and kill the game off. Despite that, we played a very good game and in the first half we did everything according to plan. The second half was more open, with big chances at both ends. If things don’t go our way, we could lose that game, likewise with a bit of luck, we win. You can’t forget that Leipzig have huge quality in their team. But in the end we could have scored the winner, so it’s frustrating."
Zlatko Junuzovic: "In the first half we just have to score the second goal. In the second half we were too passive and gave RB too much room. But the determination to win was always there. We had the chance to seal the win in the dying seconds, but ultimately 1-1 was a fair result."
Frank Baumann: "We played very well in the first half. Then we didn’t come out as sharp after the break, but we still fought for the win until the final minute. We had a few good chances to win it at the end, but missed by just a few centimeters. Since day one, Florian Kohfeldt has told his players that we want to have the ball and be bold in possession. We did that again today and that’s the football our fans want to see."
Thomas Delaney: "It was an intensive match, we had good control in the first half. The second half was end-to-end, but we had no control at the start. After that the chances came back again."
Max Kruse: "We definitely had more in us, and not just because of how we played in the first half. We played a very good game and had lots of chances. Unfortunately we failed top scored more goals. We were fantastic in the first half, we had everything
Niklas Moisander: "We played very well in the first half. We had quite a few chances and should have made it at least 2-0. Both teams had chances in the second half. We could have done more, but we are proud of ourselves and and it’s probably a fair result."
