After a disappointing 1-5 defeat against VfL Wolfsburg, Florian Kohfeldt, the head coach of SV Darmstadt 98, criticized his team's naivety during the match. Speaking to Sky, Kohfeldt noted that until the 60th minute, his team had Wolfsburg exactly where they wanted them.

He remarked on the unsettling atmosphere in the stadium following the equalizer, despite his team's improved performance after trailing 1-2. Kohfeldt refrained from lamenting the missed opportunity when Patric Pfeiffer hit the double post, but pointed out that a foolish mistake led to the third goal for Wolfsburg, which he described as a moment of naivety from his players.

Kohfeldt highlighted the importance of having a 'anchor' in the game, someone who could stabilize the team's play and dictate the pace during crucial moments. He expressed that while he does not want to dwell on the team's transitional phase, it was evident in their performance. He stated, "Football is more than just playing; it’s about feeling the game and knowing when to make strategic decisions."

He acknowledged that the upcoming three-week break would serve as a second preparation phase for the team, as they have been training since early June with some players. Kohfeldt reflected on the positive experience from their previous victory over Bielefeld, contrasting it with the pain of the recent loss.
