For one thing, we\u2019re worried about Niki Süle.

But we have our own issues and we agree: we don\u2019t need to point the finger at the referee. We could have shown more courage from the start. Hoffenheim were clearly the more dominant side early on, even if they didn\u2019t have clear-cut chances. If you\u2019re precise in your build-up play, if you\u2019re technically sound and accurate with your passing, you\u2019ll get your chances. But we didn\u2019t do that often enough.

We weren\u2019t in the game. We gave the ball away too easily. We didn\u2019t create enough going forward and then fell behind from a penalty. It was given, so I accept that. The hand was away from the body. How that came about is probably not important. The second half was much better from us. We moved the ball around much better, we positioned ourselves better, we pushed the opposition back. Apart from the goal and a half-chance, however, we still didn\u2019t manage to create many more goal-scoring opportunities. And with the second penalty, we lost. That\u2019s a shame for us, but not undeserved.\u201d<\/p>\n<img src=\"/content/dam/bvbweb/en/news/2026/04/18/bl-reaktionen/10M-Kovac.jpg\" data-assetref=\"10M-Kovac-1776535412529\"><\/p>\nDaniel Svensson<\/b> (in the mixed zone): \u201cAnother bitter defeat.

And then, naturally, it\u2019s hard to win games like that when we\u2019re up against strong opponents. We need to play with more intensity and get things moving more.
