Terzic: “We’ll take the result”

“If we win our home game in three weeks, we’ll qualify for the next round,” said Edin Terzic. Nico Schlotterbeck said: “After leading at half-time, we would’ve liked to come away with the victory.” Mats Hummels was in the thick of the action. The match reactions.

Edin Terzic (at the press conference): “It was the tight and intense match we expected. We didn’t manage to maintain the pressure after taking the lead. PSV had a lot of control in the second half. We were chasing the game a lot but we did manage not to concede any really good chances. We’ll take the result. If we win our home game in three weeks, we’ll qualify for the next round. That’s the clear objective. For the third time, we’re discussing a penalty in the knockout stages of the Champions League. We’ve put ourselves in this situation. We can put it right in three weeks.”

Nico Schlotterbeck (to Prime): “After leading at half-time, we would’ve liked to come away with the victory. After a penalty like that, you have to take the 1-1 draw because we know: At home at Signal Iduna Park, Champions League, 21:00, we don’t get beaten. Mats gets the ball. It’s not a penalty for me. We hardly managed to defend the third in front of the halfway line, only the last line. They played an extremely high number of crosses, it was brutally difficult. De Jong is a good target man, one of the best players in the air in Europe. We did well in the end. There’s potential for improvement on the ball. We need to do that in the return leg.”

Mats Hummels (to Prime): “Zero percent a penalty. Zero! I slide in, I clearly play the ball. We’re in a Champions League round of 16 tie. You have to expect the highest standard from the referees. If we’re better on the ball in the return leg, we’ll progress. We should’ve had a lot more composure on the ball here; we gave it away too quickly. What I saw today was a beatable Eindhoven.”
