Dominick Drexler: We have to get more stuck in and start performing

Head coach Frank Kramer and goalscorer Dominick Drexler spoke to the press after the 5-1 DFB-Pokal defeat to Hoffenheim on Tuesday (18/10).

Frank Kramer:

We didn’t perform how we should or how we wanted to today. We went behind really early on because we weren’t making any tackles. I’m almost speechless with how we performed. TSG took advantage brilliantly. I can’t explain our lack of fight. You will get torn apart if you play like that. We have to get our heads up quickly and play a lot better than this.

André Breitenreiter:

That was a really good performance by my team. They did almost everything we wanted them to. Our aims were to keep our opponents well away from our goal and to press them intensely. We forced them into mistakes and got chances this way – we then scored some really nice goals. I’ve not got much to criticise tonight.
