SV Werder put in a strong performance at the wohninvest WESERSTADION, but were once again missing that cutting edge in attack. VfL Wolfsburg took home all three points after a late winner from the head of Wout Weghorst. Head coach Florian Kohfeldt and captain Niklas Moisander spoke after the final whistle.

The reaction to the game:

Florian Kohfeldt: “In my opinion it was an even game against a team with European aspirations, in which we played well for large periods and defended bravely. However, we were missing two things. On the one hand, we didn’t have the cutting edge in the final third to create more clear-cut chances. On the other hand, we have to defend better in our own penalty area. Those are the moments that decide games at this level. Overall the performance, in terms of how we defended and played up until the final third, gives me confidence that we will be able to make up the three-point deficit between us and the playoff position.

The boys gave everything today. Fight, passion, mentality, both with and without the ball. Of course they feel deflated now. We now have a week to get ourselves together. We will focus on the final third in training this week. We have a few more players coming back, which gives us hope. Niclas Füllkrug will be available next week. We now have four games left to avoid relegation. Tomorrow all focus goes on Paderborn.”

Niklas Moisander: “We fought well and were in the game until they made it 1-0. We tried everything, but we need to get closer to our man. Ultimately, we weren’t dangerous enough. The final pass is missing, we have to take more risks. It’s very disappointing because we fought hard today. Nevertheless, everything is still possible. The last two defeats at home have been very, very disappointing. We have to win next week. We’ll fight until the end.”
