Florian Kohfeldt: "We certainly wanted to win and show that we have gone one step further following the Hinrunde. However, we played poorly in the first half and didn't show any composure in possession. I'm not satisfied with today's performance."
Niklas Moisander: “We didn’t play well, especially in the first half. Florian Kohfeldt had a lot to say to us at half-time. We managed to take the lead in the second half and had to win the match. Today feels like a defeat.”
Davy Klaassen: “The first half performance was one of the worst that I have experienced. We didn’t give Nürnberg any dangers whatsoever and didn’t play well at all. We didn’t create enough chances. We won’t win matches if we play like this again. We had to win today and move on.”
Max Kruse: "If we're totally honest, we didn't deserve to win today. We are really disappointed. We didn't approach the battles correctly and allowed ourselves to lose focus."
Johannes Eggestein: "We are all really disappointed. Ahead of the match, we said we wanted to play well and we lacked our cutting edge for most of the match."
