“We are heading into the winter break with this disappointment,” said Edin Terzic after the 1-1 draw against 1. FSV Mainz 05. Here is what the coach had to say at his post-match press conference.
Edin Terzic (speaking at the press conference): “In this game, we showed the two faces that we see far too often from our team. We had a great first half, enjoyed a lot of possession and were very effective in our pressing. We had the chance to take a bigger lead. Although we then conceded an equaliser just before the break, we resolved to remain as active in these areas and continue to execute our game plan cleanly and effectively. Unfortunately, we didn’t manage to do that. We were very unsettled from the start, became very passive and had to defend a lot of counter-attacks. On top of that, we weren’t able to finish the game with eleven players due to Sébastien Haller’s injury. And yet we still came close to scoring the winning goal. We are heading into the winter break with this disappointment.”
