Both FC Bayern and pursuers BVB showed no weaknesses on the 20th Bundesliga matchday and each scored three points. In the case of relegation candidate VfB Stuttgart, however, the frustration has increased. Coach voices.
Marco Rose (RB Leipzig coach): “Of course it’s disappointing for us. We really wanted to win against Union again today. The game went as we expected. It was clear that we needed patience. We still did it very well. We played effectively scored the first goal and continued to control the game. We come out of the break and we’re in control. The only thing we lacked was more action in the last third. In the end we’re really disappointed because I’m the team from I can’t fault the attitude.”
Urs Fischer (Coach Union Berlin): “The madness continues. The team did it very well today. Even in the first half they dared to do something – even when playing with the ball. We then had moments of relief. That’s how it felt with the first shot you’re going behind. But the team stayed clear even at half-time. They showed that they don’t give up when they’re behind.”
Lars Vossler (assistant coach SC Freiburg): “We won the game because we scored both penalties. We started the game well and had a good chance through Salli, but then it wasn’t enough. Stuttgart deservedly took the lead. We wanted problems after half-time corrected and were then better in the game, but could not create many chances. But the 911 helped. We were the happier team now.”
Bruno Labbadia (coach VfB Stuttgart): “It’s very bitter for us. I think we didn’t allow much in the entire game. We defended well against a strong team and also scored a nice goal. The only drawback: we didn’t close the sack, we weren’t clear enough in the last pass and not consistently in the finish.”
Ole Werner (Werder Bremen coach): “We started badly in both halves, but were then able to calm down the game and act at eye level at times. The decisive factor was that Dortmund made better use of the space. We weren’t good enough over 90 minutes to beat BVB.”
Edin Terzic (Borussia Dortmund coach): “I’m not only satisfied with the result, but also with the way in which we played this win. It’s not easy to leave the pitch in Bremen as a deserved winner. That a substitute has scored again is a Proof of the balance of our squad.”
Bo Svensson (FSV Mainz 05 coach): “We’re very happy that we deserved to win. The goal helped us. I think we were very active. We even handled the goal well. I’m very happy with the team’s performance.”
Enrico Maassen (FC Augsburg coach): “In the first 15 minutes we were fully into the game. Gross individual mistakes cost us our reward and made Mainz strong. We weren’t in the shape we were in the last four games. For us it’s a used day.”
Pellegrino Matarazzo (TSG Hoffenheim coach): “We didn’t start the game well. We were very cautious, you could feel the handbrake. That’s not our claim. It only got better from the 60th, 65th minute. We can build on that.”
Xabi Alonso (Bayer Leverkusen manager): “We’re happy this time after two defeats before. We needed a good performance. And the performance was very good. We controlled everything well until the 75th minute.”
Julian Nagelsmann (Bayern Munich coach): “We started well in the first six minutes, we can lead there. After that we were no longer good in the game. That continued at the beginning of the second half. It only got better after the 60th minute. Because of the substitutions There was fresh momentum. We deserved the result then, we didn’t before. We have to improve for Tuesday.”
Thomas Letsch (coach VfL Bochum): “Our plan to annoy the opponent worked well overall. The annoying thing was that we conceded 0-1 through a mistake. All in all, it wasn’t enough to win the game. It would have been important to play long It was a decent game from us, but Bayern deserved to win.”
Thomas Reis (Schalke 04 coach): “The team is alive, they’re trying everything, they’re fighting. Unfortunately, we didn’t reward ourselves for the third time today. We’re still on the right track. I’m still angry about the last situation. We had the chance there, one against one against to walk the goalie. Why not let that go first? It’s a joke.”
Niko Kovac (VfL Wolfsburg coach): “The first half was the worst we’ve played this season. We were sleepy, sluggish, let our guts be bought off. It didn’t go the way we wanted it to. Overall, we had the better chances, but it was deserved it wasn’t.”
