Lucien Favre: (Trainer BVB): “The game might have been different. We have started very well. Suddenly, there is a penalty that really hurt us. This is so ridiculous. The people who invented this rule, can no longer see in the mirror. This is the biggest scandal in the history of football for me. This is a great shame for the football. This has nothing to do with the penalty today. The title is playful. This is clear for me.”
Sebastian Kehl (licensing Director, BVB): “I need to collect myself a bit. To describe it, is difficult. I’m upset a bit about ourselves, a bit about the referee. It’s tricky decisions. I had the feeling that you can punish the Schalke also had a little bit harder.”
Huub Stevens (Schalke coach): “We are of course happy. A great compliment to the team. They have implemented the tactical requirements very well. Then a result. Of course, it was also a bit happy.”
for hand a penalty: “I think it is a pity that such a penalty was given. So you take out the emotions. I also told Lucien that I think it is a pity. But we have to get in the last couple of weeks one or the other against us.”
referee Felix Zwayer: “The Arm was stretched out at shoulder height, and thus he has blocked the Ball. Since the decision was for me relatively easy. It is according to the current interpretation of a penalty. (…) I don’t make the rules. If football experts do not agree with this rule agree, it’s their right. We referees are the poorest of the pigs. We set the rules.”
Daniel Caligiuri (scorer Schalke): “There were two clear red cards.(…) It was fight like a Cup. In a Derby of the table the situation is no matter.”
