“A reflection of the season”

No points in the home game against SC Freiburg – 0:1, that's the final result. SV Darmstadt 98 tried a lot during the 90 minutes against the team from Breisgau, but the South Hesse team lacked the necessary penetration, especially in attack. How do the two head coaches assess the game? What do the Darmstadt protagonists say? We have put together all the voices for the game for you.

Torsten Lieberknecht:

„Congratulations to the opponent on their victory. After the Mainz game, it was important for us to give the fans a feeling that we wanted to present ourselves more stable. And we were very stable. We stressed the opponent and got off to a good start. But we are leading A clean move by SC Freiburg to make it 0-1. We were actually in the majority in this situation, but we didn’t go the way of the goalscorer. However, we had one or two chances to score on the offensive end On the other hand, we were missing a few millimeters in the first half to push the ball over the line. I don’t like clichés: but when you’re in last place in the table and you haven’t won in 22 games, you have shit on your shoe.“

Christian Streich:

“I’ve been talking to my boys all week that things are going to get real here. For Darmstadt it was about everything, Darmstadt has a good structure and an outstanding mentality. It was a work victory today, we were the lucky winners. We made a few mistakes with the ball – we were lucky and had a good goalkeeper. Our central defenders also defended excellently. Darmstadt threw everything into the balance and presented us with major problems. It’s your turn week after week, but little things decide in the Bundesliga.”

About the lily fans:

“The fact that the Darmstadt fans said goodbye to me today after the final whistle speaks less for me and more for the people here. You could clearly see the culture in this club and this city. I can only thank you for the applause after the final whistle. This is extraordinary. I wish Darmstadt 98 all the best.”

Tobias Kempe:

„To be left with zero points and empty-handed again hurts a lot. We were the better team today. Nevertheless, we lost again. We were good with the ball – but unfortunately only up to the penalty area. That’s where we’ve been, as we have been all season There was a lack of penetration. If you fall behind again, it’s brutally difficult. We tried everything again, but we only had a lot of good chances in the first half. But we weren’t rewarded today We won’t give up. We have to keep giving it our all in the last few games for the region and our fans.“

About the lily fans:

„The way the fans said goodbye to us after the final whistle was outstanding. They have a very good feeling. I love these fans.“

Klaus Gjasula:

„The defeat hurts. We tried a lot, were mostly in the Freiburg half and didn’t reward ourselves in the penalty area situations. Freiburg came in front of our goal twice before the break and the bell rang immediately. The game was, in a way, a reflection of the season There were many games that were similar to today’s. It’s not a question of tactics, it’s about decision-making and also the general quality. We knew before the game that it would be incredibly difficult remaining in the league. But regardless of this, we will fight until the last matchday, simply because we want to give something back to the fans. We showed a different face today than last time in Mainz, but in the end we are left with no points.
