The Darmstadt PK after the game against Hoffenheim
Video End of video post
SV Darmstadt wanted to say goodbye to its fans with dignity at what will be their last Bundesliga home game for the time being. Instead, the relegated team was paraded by TSG Hoffenheim in their 6-0 home debacle on Sunday.
Torsten Lieberknecht (Darmstadt): “It’s disgraceful how we presented ourselves in this game. Losing at this level is not what we imagined. We put in a performance that is inexcusable. You could see why we were relegated and only 17 points I’m at a loss for words today, it’s incredibly painful. We not only disappointed ourselves, but also the fans with this performance.”

Highlights: Darmstadt – Hoffenheim

Paul Fernie (Sports Director Darmstadt): “The performance in the first half is unacceptable. Period, that’s it. That’s so undisciplined. Nobody on the pitch did their job. It doesn’t matter whether you have a five-year contract or are without a contract. It always works about showing basic behavior as a professional athlete. It’s not a nice feeling when you’re sitting on the bench and you concede a goal after two minutes. It felt like that continued throughout the first half and you thought to yourself: My God. When is the game over? That’s perhaps symptomatic of our season. Everyone knows that there are expiring contracts, but I expect the daily work to be there “That everyone at least has the attitude to show themselves.”
Christoph Klarer (Darmstadt): “After a game like this, it’s appropriate to face the fans, even if they probably don’t want to see our faces and it’s not nice words after what we offered today. We completely fell apart today, but that’s what we wanted Actually avoid a start like last week in Wolfsburg. It was an absolute disaster. We have to accept the criticism that comes our way This week doesn’t get any worse.”
Marvin Mehlem (Darmstadt): “After the Wolfsburg game we said to ourselves that we shouldn’t concede any early goals anymore. Then it’s hard to get something. The fans will probably laugh at us when I say that we fought. In our current situation “We’ll never, ever manage to score a goal. I’ll be happy when the season is over.”
Pellegrino Matarazzo (Trainer Hoffenheim): “I think you saw what our idea was. First and foremost, three points were important, but we also knew that every goal counts. We just wanted to keep going and the result was 6-0. The Europa League is within reach. We have a final at home next week against Bayern, which will definitely be fun.”
Maximilian Beier (Hoffenheim, two goalscorer): “We got into it really well and took advantage of our chances. It couldn’t be better.”
