The voices of the game:
FC captain Timo Horn in …
… the match against Osnabrück: “We could have decided the game earlier, that would have been good for our nerves. Unfortunately, we lost it in the second half. In the last third we were often too imprecise, the last pass did not work. So it was an open game to the end. Even so, he didn’t take any chances because we did well behind and defended consistently. It was not so easy after a game like the one against Leipzig, having to switch and play the game. You have to handle that mentally first. “
… The match schedule: “Osnabrück do not play as is typical for a second division team, they change position a lot. It can happen that the six appears in the front or the ten picks up the ball in the back. We analyzed it well and we were well prepared for our opponents. Consequently, we didn’t allow much and we scored a goal head-on. That is enough to advance in the cup, that is the goal. We are happy to have made it through a round. “
… the feeling with which you enter winter break: “There is not much time to relax this year. Everyone will take advantage of the days with the family to relax a little and relax. We know how precarious the situation is in the Bundesliga, on January 2 it will continue. Every point counts in the battle for relegation. Put your feet up a bit and celebrate Christmas. “
FC coach Markus Gisdol on …
… the cup win against Osnabrück: “Today we had a very unpleasant opponent who played us very well and caused some difficulties. At halftime we could or should have led by two goals. We didn’t allow anything in the back and we ourselves were very dominant. The key for us was that we wanted to go back to zero. We are happy now and we can approach Christmas in peace. “
… the subsequent course in the Bundesliga: “We are on the way to achieving the change of course. The good ending with the progression in the cup is good for us, but the great challenge still awaits us. There have never been 21 games in four and a half months in the Bundesliga, it will be a big challenge for everyone. There will be a lot of work to do in the new year. This challenge must be overcome. “
FC Marius Wolf loan: “We have to blame ourselves for not having finished the game earlier. We were too negligent with our chances, so we made our opponents stronger again. We played well until the goal, in the second half we created good chances, but we didn’t hit them. That is exactly the point we should have made better today. We wanted to go through the round, we made it. We can also be satisfied with the English weeks. If we continue like this, then a lot is possible. “
