“I didn’t want to jump over the boards, I just wanted to jump onto the boards. I lost my balance,” explained the national player when asked. He added energetically: “If you throw everything out, then we won’t have football anymore, then at some point I’ll play chess. If I get a yellow card for that, then it’ll stop.”
In the second half, Schlotterbeck caused the penalty kick by stepping in again against Stanišić, which Harry Kane converted to make it 2-1 for the guests (69′). “It’s a very, very light contact,” said Schlotterbeck. “I wouldn’t think of giving myself a yellow card for that. It wasn’t on my radar at all, but rather I noticed that it was a small contact. Whether it was a penalty is for others to decide.”
