Streich: "I'm not going to complain"

By Rune Gjerulff

Here's how SC Freiburg coach Christian Streich reacted to yesterday's DFB-Pokal final defeat against RB Leipzig.

Freiburg coach Christian Streich said he was "not going to complain" despite his side's DFB-Pokal final loss against RB Leipzig yesterday.

"It was a superb first half. The lads did outstandingly well and were right in the game. Then came the red card. You're leading 1-0, then you have an extra man and maybe one or two players were thinking to themselves that they didn't want to make a mistake," Streich told reporters after the game.

"Then came the equaliser and in extra time one or two passes that were overhit - and we hit the post or the bar three times. Leipzig took their penalties well in the shootout; two of ours weren't so good which was a shame.

"But I must also say that I'm not going to complain. It's crazy what we saw here tonight; the support, with so many fans from Freiburg and elsewhere here in Berlin. That was just fantastic, even if I might get upset about how the game went tomorrow or the day after."
