Hoffenheim head coach Julian Nagelsmann commented on the match with Shakhtar.

Shakhtar managed to beat Hoffenheim and retained the chances for the Champions League playoffs.

"In the beginning made two stupid mistakes that led to goals. Both times ridiculously lost the ball. In general, in most episodes we defended well.. I think that the tactical scheme of the miner did not affect the course of the game ", - the miner’s official website quotes Nagelsmann.

"In the first half it was difficult to realize our chances, because we quickly missed two goals. This influenced the development of events.. Then managed to level the score. It was hard to go further, as we were wary of quick miner counterattacks.. Looking for a balance. Were in the minority, but played very well. Of course, there were moments with the opponent - he twice hit the post. But by that time, I think we should have had 4: 2. Zuber hit the crossbar, there was one hundred percent opportunity ... In the group stage we scored 10 goals already. Probably, it has never happened that with so many goals the team still won a single match. This is incredible. ".

"Very annoying. Skipping in 90 + 2 minutes - terrible. We acted well in the minority, and the fight was very intense and intense.. They gave a lot of effort and even managed to create three absolute moments ".

"Motivation rolls over? This is football. I always want to take over. If we played on hold, we would be asked why we didn't play to win ".

"In the first match with Shakhtar we defended in the last minutes, and nevertheless we missed the second goal. Not the fact that you could keep the account. Of course, after the fact I would like to finish 2: 2, not 2: 3. However, we sought to win, as always. In the moment with the third goal in the penalty area there were not two defenders - there were seven of our players. You can not miss in this situation. We basically defended well, used counterpressing. I think the best defense is attack.. The duel with Gerta, by the way, also showed that if you defend the whole team, it’s not a fact that you can keep the score. If I were a journalist, I would also ask such a question.. But I tell you honestly: I always want to win. And we will seek only victory with Manchester City ".
