“It is not enough”

Saturday afternoon at the Olympiastadion did not go the way that the Blue-Whites had hoped it would. Hertha lost 4-2 against SV Werder Bremen on Pál Dárdai’s return to the touchline. “Normally, I can always talk and find answers, but it is difficult to sum it all up right now. I’m a bit lost for words,” explained a disappointed Prince Boateng. “In the end it is just not enough – especially the way we played in the first half. We have to be present from the first minute to the last. We now have to pull together even quicker and tighter because there are still very important games ahead of us.”herthabsc.com has all of the immediate reaction.

Prince Boateng: Normally, I can always talk and find answers, but it is difficult to sum it all up right now. I have no idea, I’m a bit lost for words. In the end it is just not enough – especially the way we played in the first half. We have to be present from the first minute to the last. You can see that there was a bit of a mental block. In front of a crowd like this it’s not easy to build out from the back and to be brave on the ball, especially also with the result against Schalke behind us. We now have to pull together even quicker and tighter because there are still very important games ahead of us.

We still have to play our direct rivals at home, but we will have to do a 180 for these, cut out the mistakes and give everything in these last few games.

Marco Richter: I am very annoyed with myself and the team. We didn’t signal from the very first second that we wanted to win and we didn’t prove how up for it we were. We have to take the blame for that, but we are still not relegated and believe in ourselves. We still have to play our direct rivals at home, but we will have to do a 180 for these, cut out the mistakes and give everything in these last few games.
