Niklas Moisander: “The first game of the season was played with a high intensity. We started well and dominated for the first half-an-hour, before Hannover 96 had a good chance just before the break. In the second half we pressed and really pushed hard for a goal. I felt that we had everything under control and so the result is not what we wanted.”
Theodor Gebre Selassie: “I am happy to score but not happy with the result because it feels like we have dropped two points. We are disappointed because we expected more. We saw that we can create chances, if we play to our full potential. Unfortunately today was not our day.
Davy Klaassen: “No disrespect to Hannover but we were expecting a home win today. Therefore we are disappointed with the result. The whole team feels the same way. The goal we conceded was very frustrating, a silly goal to concede.”
Maximilian Eggestein: “I found that we played well in the first half. Unfortunately we weren’t able to convert the chances that we created and therefore Hannover were able to get back into the game. We played better in the second-half but couldn’t get the result we wanted.“
Florian Kohfeldt: “To summarise, it was not an unfair draw against a very good team. Defensively, other than the goal we conceded, we played well and only conceded two shots, which shows how good our defence was. The goal was conceded due to a mix-up between two defenders – an unlucky lapse in concentration. That’s why I’m not going to be too harsh on the boys. In the end, we have proven that we can stay calm and get a point in a difficult game.”
