"In order to be a top team, we have to manage to get results - every three days," said Nuri Sahin following the 2-1 defeat away to Union Berlin. The reactions to the match.

Nuri Sahin (at the press conference): \"It would have been important to get a result before the international break. It frustrates me immeasurably that we played a first half like that. It's completely human that you do not put in a top performance every three days. But in order to be a top team, you have to get a result every three days. We're still not managing that away from home. If you do not shine in a footballing sense, you must defend your goal and go into the changing rooms at 0-0. If a gap then opens up, the quality that we have will be decisive. Then we'll score the goal and win in the majority of cases. Due to the first period, one can describe it as a deserved win. We didn't get into the game at all and conceded two terrible goals. The second half was much better from us, we had a lot of possession in the opposition half and had Berlin on the back foot.\"

Sebastian Kehl (to Sky and in the mixed zone): \"The way we conceded the goals - that cannot happen to us. We need to defend our goal better. We need to contest our challenges better. The first period was simply nothing. We played too many misplaced passes. We did not lose confidence in the team today. But we're of course disappointed. The way we conceded the goals is simply not acceptable. We have let in 11 goals in the last four matches. We have to defend our goal a lot better. We did not show any of the solutions that we came up with in the run-up to the match.\"

Gregor Kobel (to Sky): \"It was quite clearly a setback, if you perform the way we did in midweek. We now have two weeks to take a look at it and to find solutions. The first period was the key. We did not manage to keep hold of the second balls.\"
