Alexander Nouri: “We shouldn’t have lost the game. For me, we were really really unlucky today. After we went ahead, we conceded the equaliser too quickly and we had to adapt quickly after Max went off. I was happy with the way we played today though.”
Frank Baumann: “We were good defensively and deserved to go into the lead. But we came off the pitch empty-handed. If the team play together like they did today, we will get points against Wolfsburg and Freiburg.”
Lamine Sané: “We work hard in training, we played well and created chances. We just can’t finish. We were on top but we just didn’t get a reward at the end.”
Thomas Delaney: “We are making mistakes at the moment that we shouldn’t be making. And we aren’t making the most of the chances that we are creating. It feels really bitter to lose today.”
Maximilian Eggestein: “We should’ve got something more from the game. We punished ourselves, the two goals we conceded were silly. It’s really bitter and hard to put into words.We were much better in the first half and should’ve extended our lead further but we conceded the equaliser straight away. Even though Schalke got into the game more in the second half, we had more chances to score and created good opportunities.”
Florian Kainz: “I think we played quite well. We were up for it, we wanted to win at whatever cost and we created some good chances. But then we made life very hard for ourselves with two mistakes.”
