“It’s a bit of a setback today.”
No points for the end of the year in Regensburg. SV Darmstadt 98 lost a second division game for the first time after nine unbeaten games in a row. Away at SSV Jahn, the Lilies had to admit defeat 2-1. The Darmstadt protagonists expressed their disappointment with the outcome of the game on the microphones after the final whistle. We have summarised all the votes for you.
Florian Kohfeldt:
„Congratulations to Regensburg. It was a very good performance from Jahn, you have to say that. Over a very long time, they managed to play their game today. I mean that as a big compliment. There were a lot of duel situations, Lots of running, little calm in the game and we hardly found any space. In terms of chances, it could have been a draw, but from the coach’s point of view, the win is well deserved for Jahn. Despite the defeat, we have had an outstanding first half of the season After five match days we were a long way from where we are now. Of course the defeat clouds that a little, but generally the team’s development is outstanding.“
Andreas Patz:
„Thank you very much for the congratulations. We wanted to win this game with all our might. We managed to do that. We have put in a lot of effort in the last few weeks. Today we were able to reward ourselves. We pushed through, attacked high and closed the opponent down. We forced them to make mistakes. We were able to keep the team at bay and keep the three points. I’m very happy about that.“
Kai Klefisch:
„It’s a small setback today, but it won’t knock us down. In the first half we were too passive, didn’t win enough second balls and couldn’t get into the duels. We weren’t where we wanted to be in terms of running either. There Regensburg took a bit of a beating from us. Unfortunately, my goal in stoppage time came too late. Overall, we were in a great mood and wanted to confirm our last few weeks and our series come back next year.“
Clemens Riedel:
“We found it difficult to get into the game and had few ideas going forward. We also had a lot of mistakes in the build-up game, with which we pushed both the opponent and the home fans in the stadium. Regensburg then made it very difficult for us with their long balls and especially the second balls, of which they won many. The space and the weather are no excuse. We still had to adapt our style of play, which we didn’t do well. On the other hand, it played into Jahn’s hands. It was a battle in the second half. Regensburg had a good phase in which they put a lot of pressure on. Therefore, their leadership was certainly deserved. Unfortunately it wasn’t enough for us today. Overall, with the exception of today’s game, we still showed a good first half of the season.”
