Posch: "It's hard to take"

What the players and manager said after the 3-1 defeat away at RB Leipzig.

Stefan Posch: "It was difficult for us in the beginning but we responded well. Then we conceded a couple of goals at the wrong time and we were trailing. It's hard to take when you go after the game hard in the second half but still fall 2-0 behind."

Dennis Geiger: "I thought I'd put it away when I had my chance. Of course it's annoying that it came off the post. The first 20 minutes of the match were poor from us, but we improved after. We needed to get it back to 1-1 before half time. It was of course painful to go 2-0 down straight after the restart, and that's when things get difficult in Leipzig. Nevertheless, the performance was better than in the two matches before."

Alfred Schreuder: "We had problems in the first 20, 25 minutes, but then we played with greater bravery going forward and could have gone in at half time with the score level at 1-1. Things became difficult after going 2-0 down. We need to put it behind us and take the positives from the match."

Julian Nagelsmann (RB Leipzig coach): "We started the match positively. We didn't defend well though after taking the lead, meaning TSG were suddenly back in the match. The second half was better because we were able to exert better control of the game."
