FC St. Pauli

David Nemeth on...

... the number of goals conceded: "It's obviously annoying, both for me and the entire team, but I do think we've done better in the last few games. We had a few organisational problems early on, though that’s improving as well. We're functioning better as a team. We're giving away fewer chances overall, but the ones we have allowed have usually gone in. If we keep working, though, I'm sure we'll have more clean sheets."

... his pre-season injury: "I played in the first two warm-up games and was out for about seven weeks after that. It's obvious you're going to have organisational problems then, but I think it's looking better now."

... partnering Jakov Medić in central defence: "I think Jakov and I are very similar types of player. He's very aggressive in the tackle and does his job extremely well. He has a super left foot. I think we complement each other quite well. We've both quite experienced, even though I'm not that old yet. We have a good mentality that we're trying to transfer to the team and it's looking good."

... Regensburg's modest goal tally to date: "We don't make a point of looking at how many goals the opposition have scored or conceded. We don't want to concede against any team we play. That's why I don't care who we face next, I never want to concede a goal."

... special training sessions for the defenders: In general, we're gelling more and more as a team and improving our internal organisation in training. We also have the video analysis sessions as well, which we do both individually and as a team. You can see we're communicating better now."

... the personal relationships in defence: "Obviously, it's always good when you get on really well. All the centre-backs get on very well. We're a super group as well and that's definitely a huge help."

... the discontent among the fans after the draw against Sandhausen: I did notice that. We had a game plan we were determined to see through. I don't think you can reproach us either because we had our chances, we just didn't take them."

... his personal goals at St. Pauli: We have huge potential in the team. We play good football. Even though we haven't always won, we've been well in it every time and within reach of a win. Apart from the Hansa Rostock game, we've always been well in it. If we can play to our potential, we can be successful. Personally, I want to achieve things here with the team and that's the priority for now."
