We deserved to lose Wahls blunt verdict after Mainz defeat
We deserved to lose Wahls blunt verdict after Mainz defeatSpeaking in the immediate aftermath of the match, St. Pauli's Hauke Wahl was clear in his assessment of St. Paulis performance:We deserved to lose. The first early goal killed us straight away. After that, our game plan didnt work anymore.Wahl also pointed to Philipp Tietz as the decisive factor in the match, admitting St. Pauli struggled to contain the forward throughout:Philipp Tietz clearly made the difference today. We didnt find a good way to defend him - he was involved heavily in both goals.Despite the frustration, Wahl was keen to avoid singling out teammates, instead stressing collective responsibility for the defeat:Right now, it doesnt fu**ing matter exactly what happened or who did what. For example, I should have defended better for the first goal. There were many moments - were angry. But its pointless to point fingers at a player or a single situation. In the end, it just wasnt enough today.His words reflect a dressing room aware of its shortcomings, as St. Pauli look to regroup quickly in their ongoing battle to avoid relegation.
