Julian Nagelsmann defends the "Hurray" style of TSG Hoffenheim

The look darkened, the repressed anger searched for an outlet – then the frustration broke out with force in Julian Nagelsmann.

"Because I just want to win!" These draws go completely to my taste, "broke the TSG coach Hoffenheim after the end of the Champions League, criticizing his" hurray style "against:" I want always win! I want to win the game, even playing against my badyst, I want to win everything! "

Nagelsmann's emotional tirade, in which he clearly showed his disdain for critical issues by shaking his head repeatedly, did not change the facts.

Only one TSG win in 13 European Cup matches

Although the 31-year-old wants to win, he almost never succeeds on the international stage. The 2: 3 (2: 2) draw against Schachtjor Donetsk was already the seventh defeat of the TSG over a total of 13 European Cup matches under the direction of Nagelsmann. There are five draws and one win – there is more than a year in the Europa League against Istanbul Basaksehir.

Nagelsmann, obsessed with success, lost his cool in the face of this devastating record, the TSG press officer also said. Although there are still issues to be resolved, he ended the press conference after 13 minutes. Criticisms of the coach's questionable strategy, which takes care of the upcoming RB Leipzig season, have been hindered for the moment.

Nevertheless, many observers realized that Nagelsmann had played. Instead of being outnumbered (striker Adam Szalai was sent off in the 60th minute of the match) to calm the game and bring the draw back over time, the coach ("The cardboard yellow-red was a joke ") led his team as a result, Late in the game, the Kraichgauer conceded the decisive goal of Taison at the second minute of time off.

Hoffenheim needs help

Following the defeat, TSG missed the first queen clbad win on the fifth attempt. Even the chances of winning the "Consolation Prize" of the Europa League are extremely bad. With a draw, Hoffenheim still had the right to enter the Europa League. The club now has Schützenhilfe on the last day of group matches. Donetsk loses against Olympique Lyon, Hoffenheim wins in Manchester City at the same time.

"Of course, I would have preferred to play 2-2 than 2-2, that would be bullshit if I said I would rather lose, but it's a total mistake to say that I'm 2: 2 and that I am coming back with ten men purely, "Nagelsmann defiantly justified himself:" I also want to win against Manchester City – I promise you. "

Steven Zuber was visibly different from his coach. "In the end, you might want to consider not taking the 2-2," said Switzerland, who scored after goals from guests, Ismaily (14) and Taison (15) and goal from TSG by Andrej Kramaric (17.) had scored the intermediate goal 2: 2 (40th): "But to hold back would have been the wrong advice."

Defender Ermin Bicakcic's comment was much shorter: "What should I say? A draw!"
