Baumann: "We can build on that"

Here's what the players and coaches had to say after the 0-0 draw at RB Leipzig.

Christoph Baumgartner: "In our current situation, a point away to RB Leipzig is a success. Once again, we didn't create that many goalscoring chances, but we're happy with a 0-0 draw against the second-placed team in the table even if it was a tad fortunate."

Ihlas Bebou: "We embraced the fight today. We were a bit lucky at the end, but Leipzig are a strong team. That's why we're happy with the point. The defensive performance in the last two games was great. We can build on that. Now we have to be a bit more dangerous going forward."         

Chris Richards: "We were solid at the back, defended well and withstood the pressure from Leipzig. The fact that we didn't create many chances was due to the fact Leipzig are a very strong team defensively. We deserved the draw. I hope we can continue our performances from this week in our next games against Gladbach and Freiburg."

Oliver Baumann: "The point was important for us. We played with determination and fought with determination. Keeping a second clean sheet in the space a week was also good. Unfortunately, we couldn't create many chances of our own, as was the case against Leverkusen. But if you want to get the basic elements of defending back on track, you sit deeper. That was definitely a step in the right direction; we can build on that."

Sebastian Hoeness: "My heart sank when it looked like Leipzig had scored. We've often had bad luck this season, so a situation like this one does you good from time to time. The boys fought incredibly hard. We got stuck into the challenges and gave everything. It would have been perfect if we'd finished our chances off better."

Julian Nagelsmann (RB Leipzig coach): "We had many situations that we didn't make good enough use of. Especially in the second half, there were some good opportunities. It was not our best game, but we were still the superior team. The goal wouldn't come today. That's why we didn't win."
