00:18 Welcome to the press conference.

02:04 Yeah, it sounds a bit strange, but actually everything seemed OK.
02:08 The way we started was all right.
02:10 Then we conceded those three corners in a row.
02:13 We lose the physical duel at the near post, and then paketized there at the far post.
02:18 One-nil.
02:20 Then we immediately had a chance to equalize with Roland Sallai.
02:25 After that, we lost another physical duel and conceded the second goal.
02:32 I didn't have the feeling that West Ham were dominating us completely for 90 minutes,
02:36 but things like that, unlucky things like that happen.
02:41 It just is how it sometimes unfolds.
02:45 Then, of course, we conceded the goals in the second half,
02:47 and the goals showed you what and how much quality West Ham have with their players.
02:53 That's how we ended up with a rather clear result.

04:18 Question.
04:21 You talked about your future. You said something on television as well.
04:24 You announced that you'd make a formal announcement next week.
04:28 Has this match had an impact on your decision?
04:31 Answer.
04:33 No, we talked about this, and of course this match will have no impact on my decision regarding my future.
04:40 It would be ridiculous if one game would have a major impact on that decision.
04:45 So next week we'll tell you.
04:47 Today we're just disappointed we lost, but I really can't put the blame on my team.
04:54 West Ham had the quality and we lost.
04:57 [German]
05:21 [German]
05:31 [German]
05:45 [German]
05:53 Okay?
05:55 [German]
05:57 Question.
05:58 This decision-making process seems to be taking longer this year.
06:01 Can we therefore infer that you will not renew your contract and stop managing Freiburg after 12 years?
06:09 Answer.
06:10 I think my answer to your colleague was pretty clear, wasn't it?
06:13 If it's not clear, then please let me know.
06:15 Otherwise, just wait until Monday or Tuesday.
06:17 But it's not that important anyway.
06:19 [German]
06:26 [German]
06:27 Thank you.
06:28 Thank you.
