After the 4-0 defeat against FC Bayern Munich and the resulting exit from the DFB Cup, FSV Mainz 05 is arguing with the referee. Dominik Kohr and Robin Zentner commented on Sky-Microphone clearly shows Sascha Stegemann’s decisions.
Dominik Kohr criticized the referee especially for the decisions in Bayern’s 2-0 and 4-0 wins. “In the fourth one I was run over, and it was clear to me that the referee was wearing a Bayern jersey today,” said the Mainz player: “You have to make that very clear.” Stegemann “whistled a lot of little things for Bayern Munich. Even the 2-0 win, I think if we had a situation like that, it would be different.”
He doesn’t want to “put the referee in the foreground, but you have to address it clearly.” Shortly afterwards, Zentner was asked whether he had seen it that way: “Many people felt that way, but the fact is that we didn’t score a goal and that we didn’t have the momentum that you need against Bayern,” said the goalkeeper initially diplomatically, but then distributed even more forcefully.
