“Didn’t take our chances today” | Post match quotes

You can find all the quotes after the 0-0 draw against 1. FSV Mainz 05 here.
 

Marco Rose

• “In the end it’s a 0-0 draw with a lot of chances for us to score. It took us a while to find our structure after the international break. But then we were quickly in the game against a very deep opponent. We had to find the right balance so as not to run into counterattacks. We controlled that well.

  We had good opportunities in the first half and stuck with it in the second half. We had even better chances there. Unfortunately, in the end we don’t score that one goal.”
   

Peter Gulacsi

• “It would have been important points for us today. We really wanted to get the three points, but unfortunately didn’t. But I’m experienced enough to know that there’s a long way to go in the Bundesliga. We still have seven games left and are still playing at home against Borussia Dortmund in front of our fans. 

  Our focus is on the next game, next weekend, we want to win again in Freiburg.”
   

Willi Orban

• “In the end we didn’t manage to get the ball over the line. We had a lot of clear chances to score, the opposing goalkeeper also had a very good day today and played an outstanding game. There was also a bit of a lack of consistency with our finishing today.

  The victory was more than possible today, but we are still positive. We have to take this point home now. Who knows how important it will be in the end.”
   

David Raum

• “We just didn’t reward ourselves today. We created enough chances, but couldn’t score. Overall, we still played a good game and we will reward ourselves again.

  We still have qualification for the Champions League in our own hands. Dortmund still have to come to us, we have already won there. So we’ll see what happens next.”
   

Kevin Kampl

• “We knew it could be a close game today. Mainz have a good team. And it’s not always easy right after an international break. But we had a lot of opportunities to take the lead. That would have been the can opener and would have been good for us. You also have to say that the Mainz goalkeeper made a lot of good saves today. 

  We should have simply forced the goal, we were in control almost the whole time. But we didn’t score the goal. That’s why we didn’t win the game. The positive thing is that we kept a clean sheet. We continue on our path.”
   

Xaver Schlager

• “We are disappointed. We put a lot of effort into it, but nothing came of it. We wanted to win the game and lost two points. It’s always difficult when the opponent just stands back and defends. Except in the end it was a one-goal game, we weren’t clinical.

  You can’t always explain things. Unfortunately for us, the opposing goalkeeper had a very good day. You have to accept that.”
