Thomas Reis: We deserved a point

It was another disappointing result for Schalke on Saturday night. S04 were beaten 2-1 by Werder despite a strong performance up north in Bremen. Head coaches Thomas Reis and SVW’s Ole Werner spoke to the media after the game, as well as striker Simon Terodde.

Thomas Reis:

It’s difficult to find an explanation for the defeat so soon after the final whistle. The lads were really active from the start of the game. We wanted to do certain things and be brave. It was disappointing that Alex Král’s goal was ruled out for offside. We were then a bit sloppy and careless and were suddenly 1-0 down. We gave our all once again in the second half. Sometimes just a few minor things lead to you conceding a goal. I spoke before the game about wanting to see an improvement and I think the fans saw that, even if the defeat hurts. The team showed today that they are capable of playing in the Bundesliga. We deserved a point in my opinion. We will start collecting points in the future if we continue to play like this.

Ole Werner:

I’m really happy after our win. To have 21 points on the board at this stage of the season is sensational. We definitely didn’t perform to our best tonight and I have to add that Schalke played really well. We didn’t start well and were lucky that Alex Král’s goal didn’t count. We improved after a few minor tactical changes. The important thing is that we keep our feet on the ground after this victory. We will have to continue working hard if we want to collect points in our next games.

Simon Terodde:

It was a really disappointing night for us. We gave our all, fought hard and created lots of chances. The best player for Werder was their goalkeeper, Jiri Pavlenka. We were a bit unlucky at times, like when I hit the post with my header in the first half. On another day, that could have hit the back of the net. I’m happy with a performance like that, the fans acknowledged how we played too. We have to take the positives and give 100% again against Mainz in midweek – and finally get what we deserve.
