Niklas strong (Captain Hertha BSC Berlin)…
… go to the goal: “Brutal annoying. A long ball comes, Polter then does that well too. But then it’s a piercing that is misplaced unhappy. It is damn annoying. It was also the first shot in the second half. That was not so good in any case. “
… to the game: “It was so that we did not go so aggressive, so snappy and with the intensity as in the first half have gone into the bunks and behind the balls behind. Maybe we did too much Powerplay in the first half And could have played a few situations a bit quieter. But still we could have done it, but then lost the thread. Nevertheless, I would say that we also had our chances in the second half. Then you can then calm the 2: 1 make. “
… to Marc Oliver Kempf: “We already know each other forever. It is for six years that we have played together, but we know each other, we do well and we know more or less, as the other thing is playing Well, to have him next to me. The next games can come. “
Marc Oliver Kempf (Hertha BSC Berlin)…
… to the game: “After the first half, in which we were clearly the better team, we did not get the connection in the second half. Then you collect with a shot shot, which is a bit dangerous, the compensation. More Did not you admit, that’s why it’s all the sadder that you only stand with a point. “
… on his first days at Hertha: “The acclimatization was good, I did not mind me. I know many guys from earlier and the coach from Stuttgart times. I tried to introduce me well, go and give commands well, I did that quite well, but that an goal annoys me scary. Too zero would have been all the better. “
Tayfun Corkut (Trainer Hertha BSC Berlin)…
… to the game: “We played a really good first half with a lot of energy. We had a good intensity, a good two-beam guide and played very clean forward. It was actually under control. And with the only shot on Our goal we got the balance. Then the game changed. It was a competitive second half with switching moments on both sides. Unfortunately, we have to live with the point, but if you look at the first halftime, would certainly be more in it been.”
… to question why it did not matter to victory: “This time it was not necessarily the stability. The goal was the only ball that came to the gate. We got away from our game in the second half, But it was not due to stability. “
… to arrive new access Marc Oliver Kempf (before the game): “That was not difficult. He is an experienced Bundesliga player. I know him from my time in Stuttgart. He and the other new entries have been very well received.”
Arne Friedrich (point Director Hertha BSC Berlin)…
… to leave his decision to leave Hertha at the end of the season (before the game): “It’s a decision that sometime is matured. Fredi Bobic and I had a very open conversation. I originally returned in 2019 and honestly had not planned to stay two and a half years. Then there were two and a half years because it was just a great time, a turbulent time. I have learned a lot and hope I could give a little something. I have the feeling that now I have the feeling that now very, very much Good structures are laid, especially through the athletic realignment. I am actually very optimistic about what the future of Hertha is concerned, even if you may not see it directly. “
… to ask what he wants the club to say goodbye (before the game): “Stability. That was one of the reasons why it has always been a bit shaky. There are a lot of people and gone a lot of people, both at the player level and on the line level. But to get really stability, you also need peace in the environment. Fredi Bobic has come with his team. I appreciate him very much and he knows what he does. And I hope that one That looks as soon as possible, but it needs everything his time. You have to say that. ”
… to his future (before the game): “Even if I’m gone in the summer: I will always remain wonderful to the club. I like to be in Berlin, Berlin is my home. It was much speculated: Wrapping Arne completely? I have not done such plans at all. I did not do any plans because I’m at the Hertha until the summer. “
… to question whether he could draw a conclusion to his activity (before the game): “For this it is too early, on the other, the other people should decide. I’m still there. It is always said again and again That it’s a pity that I’m going, but I’m still there until summer and we still have a lot. We are still in a very difficult situation. “
Thomas Rice (coach VFL Bochum)…
… to his semi-period language: “Of course I was angry that we did not accept the two-fighting. These are the basic one, that belongs to football. We have done the ball, we have no access. Then we get a standard gate It was also prepared for the team. That’s very annoying. Then it became a bit louder. But the team has then implemented that very well in the second half and that’s why I am satisfied with the point. “
… to the game: “At the first half, I was absolutely not satisfied. There was no passion, we’ve had all the two-fights lost. We only had the luck that Hertha could not create so many chances of chances. We have in the second half turned a bit a bit and then I was satisfied with the way, even if it was certainly not a nice football match because of the many long balls from our side. But in our situation away is I do not care. Main thing, we have one Point taken. And that was not undeserved due to the second half. “
… to ask why the VFL defends so passionately (before the game): “We have our mission statement where we say: we want to be indomitable. We want to defend it with all the power, but also build something, if I am glad The guys also look for the defense. Of course, our offensive players want to shine more in the offensive, but we have to work as a newcomer with all in both directions. We do that well and you can see that we can be an unpleasant opponent. “
Gerrit Holtmann (VfL Bochum)…
… to question whether he was satisfied with the point: “From the course of the first half ago, we just not good enough and had no chance. Hertha did it pretty well. We had no pressure on the front and so Hertha can simply play through. In the end, we have happy, but also deserves the point from the course of the second half. “
… to weak first half: “Already at the warm-up you have noticed that we are not right. You have seen until half time that we have not consistently pulled our game. There we are again that we are offensive still have a lot of air upwards. “
Sebastian Polter (scorer VfL Bochum)…
… to question whether he is satisfied with the point: “After the bad first half definitely. We can ultimately be really satisfied with the point. A with-relegation candidate that deals with us downstairs and at a distance The away – that’s very neat. Nonetheless, I believe that we did not play a good first half and can live with the point due to the second half. “
… for conversion at the half-time break: “We have certainly played the worst half in the first half. We wanted to come to the depths and behind the defensive chain. That did not succeed us. We have been clearly and clearly addressed in the halftime We need to change that to score. Thank God we have done and are very satisfied at the end with the point. “
Sebastian Schindzielorz (Executive Board point VfL Bochum)…
… to the latest transfer phase (in front of the game): “It is always a hot phase, the phone is not quiet. You have a lot of information, trying to sort and get the best for the club. We chose with us continuing continuity that has been awarded us in recent months. We have shown in the Territory that we are absolutely competitive. We did not want to go to the structure there and see us well. “
… at the previous season (before the game): “We communicated at an early stage, that for us as a newcomer will be a very hard season. We are aware of this and so we went to the season. We did not go to the left And looked at the right, but focused on ourselves. That has worked quite well so far, but there are still some games to play and we need to score. “
