Terzic: "The side of us that unfortunately we've shown too often"

Both Edin Terzic and Marco Reus spoke about the deserved 3-0 defeat away to 1. FSV Mainz 05. "If you look at the first half, the result was in order."

Edin Terzic: "Let's let Paris be Paris and talk about last week and this week. We set the team up in a similar way to how we did a week ago in the home game against Augsburg. It was a similar game today, only this time we were the team that were always late to the ball and always losing out in the tackles. That's why it was a deserved defeat. Mainz fought for every inch, didn't give us any peace in possession, whereas we did. They also punished us with ice-cold finishing. Unfortunately, that's the side we've shown far too often this season. We wanted to use the three weeks leading up to the final to make them the best three weeks of the season - that hasn't happened. That comes down to the coach too. That's why I'm also not excluding myself from this."

Marco Reus: "If you look at the first half, the result is in order. Mainz were always one step ahead. We did exactly the opposite of what we did against Augsburg a week ago. I was hoping for a different final away game. But it's the way it is now. I'm looking forward to next week."
