After the 1-0 loss against Cologne at home, the Werder players answered fans' questions at the gates of Weser Stadium. About 150 Green-Whites supporters accepted the team's offer to discuss the current situation. Ten players as well as manager of sport Thomas Eichin, Rouven Schröder and Frank Baumann talked about the good start in the Cologne match, the lacking confidence and the up-coming important weeks.
Before that, Fritz and Co. talked about the painful defeat in the mixed zone. WERDER.DE listened in and collected some of the reaction:
Clemens Fritz: "We started with a lot of motivation and played well. Unfortunately we were not able to create dangerous chances. We have to accept the blame that we were not dangerous enough in the box. In the end, Cologne scored one goal more because we lost the decisive challenges. It's difficult to come back after that. We were lacking confidence and the easiness."
Raphael Wolf: "Of course this isn't the result we were hoping for. That was a poor performance, there's nothing more to say. After the strong start, we stopped playing and didn't create enough chances. We haven't been relegated yet but we know the situation we're in."
Robin Dutt: "We went into the match very motivated and played well at the beginning, pressured them very well. Altogether, until conceding the goal I have nothing to criticise the team about. After that, we didn't trust ourselves any more and only played long balls. We weren't able to turn the game around again and lost against a team that defended well."
Thomas Eichin: "The team had big plans and began well. We couldn't find the right means to get into the box and create chances. And Cologne scored one goal with their few chances. That's typical because we can't even score an ugly goal right now. And it's clear that our confidence is lacking after that. We had heavy legs and were lacking the courage and confidence. Now we need to analyse the game and see to it that we get the match out of our heads before the cup match in Chemnitz."
