Steffen Baumgart speaks after the defeat against Borussia Dortmund in ARD about a controversial scene, and speaks angrily on live television. Reason: Referee Stieler.
Lost 2: 3 after overtime, delivered a tough cup fight to BVB, narrowly flopped with a fighting performance, but SC Paderborn’s knockout loss in the round of 16 on Tuesday night upset SCP coach Steffen Baumgart . The 49-year-old spoke after the game at ARD and delivered an emotional speech. “That’s cheeky. It’s outright cheeky, I have to say it very honestly,” Baumgart said live on television. The reason: referee Tobias Stieler.
What happened?
First half of extra time, 95th minute: Dortmund’s Erling Haaland scored the decisive 3: 2. But then the video referee controlled the goal for minutes, due to a possible offside position for the Norwegian. In the end, however, Stieler settled on the goal, apparently because, from his point of view, a Paderborn player had touched the ball before.
“It’s getting ridiculous”
Baumgart on the ARD at the scene: “He said that he and his linesman had the perception that Svante Ingelsson (Paderborn player, editor’s note) played the ball, which I find a bit difficult, because in the first place, if the player is on the sidelines, and I think that, especially when so many things are happening and you are in a situation like that, we have the opportunity to see him on television, so at least I was hoping that he would see it. “
Looking at the slow-motion footage of the controversial scene, Baumgart continued angrily: “It’s not a change in the ball, it’s not touching the ball, and it slides. It’s just a guess, and I have to honestly say: I think then I difficult “The coach was particularly upset that Stieler was doing it alone:” Then to explain to me that he had a perception where then I have to say: Wait a minute, we have the photos, you can look at them 20 times. ” And further: “It seems absolutely cheeky to me, and I told him I’ll also make it public. It’s getting ridiculous. You don’t have to be surprised that we talk about it all the time.”
Baumgart struggled to maintain his composure
Baumgart emphasized: “I think the video referees are really good, it brings a lot of justice. But not going out and not looking at it, that’s the only thing I expected. If you decide later, it is like that and tells me that your perception is more important than what It is said – little by little we are making a fool of ourselves. That bothers me, it bothers me for my boys, for acting, and no one deserves it. “
The veteran Paderborn coach struggled to maintain his composure and yet it was clear: “Now I have to be careful that the words are not too strong before someone tells me we have to treat each other cleanly and with respect. But respect it also means shit. To watch and then make a decision. That’s respectful treatment from the opponent, and not from the little guy we kicked in the butt again. “
“I’m curious to receive a letter from the DFB”
The clear line is missing in decisions: “I can’t make a new decision every time and say: we won’t do it today and we will do it again tomorrow. No one should be surprised that we are upset about it.” “
More so: Baumgart was sure: “We stood there for seven minutes and froze, and then that decision?” The video referee qualified the situation differently: “I think Cologne said very clearly: Offside situation, don’t score. And then I hope you look at it. If you decide later, there’s a touch. For God’s sake , but not go? “For a club like Paderborn, the stakes are more than a simple victory. “This is around two million for us right now. I’m not a corporation, we fight for every tired brand, and then someone like that comes my way? I find him arrogant, I have to say it with all sincerity.”
In the end, Baumgart had only a dark humor: “I’m curious to see if I will receive a letter from the DFB because I was too excited.” In any case, the controversial scenario and its consequences will be much discussed.
