Mainz 05 took one on the chin against Bayern Munich as Zero weights fell 6-2 in one shot.
No one at the club felt the result was undeserved.
“It was a heavy loss. Defensively, we weren’t good, especially off the field, where we let ourselves be caught by surprise. We defended very passively and often didn’t close out that extra yard. We had a lot of chances but conceded six goals – we deserved to lose,” said Mainz 05 sporting director Martin Schmidt (as captured by FCBayern.com).
Mainz head coach Bo Svensson didn’t want to say too much, but admitted his side were weak in the second half.
“Congratulations to Bayern for the victory won. They deserved to win that much. In the first half we were regular in parts, in the second half we were lacking in the whole table”, said Svensson.
Captain Silvan Widmer scored a goal against Bayern Munich, but that didn’t make him feel any better about things.
“This was not a good performance from us. We scored two goals. But we defended very badly as a team and made it very easy for Bayern to create chances. We didn’t have enough bite and spirit,” said Widmer.
