Hannover, whose relegation was confirmed in the previous round, finished their Bundesliga season in the top flight with a defeat by Fortuna Dusseldorf. Genki Haraguchi shared his thoughts in a post-match Q&A.

You wanted to end the season with a win against your old club, didn’t you?

That’s right. It would have been nice to finish on that note, but it was a match that just summed up our year.

How was the atmosphere in the team this week?

It was tough. I could feel that the spirit in the team was finished. To be honest, training was difficult. Playing this match was difficult too. I thought we managed to play a good game. If not for the mistakes, we might have been able to control the game.

Your plans next season?

Well, about that (laughs). I can’t say much for now. I will have to think about it carefully before I make a decision.

Fortuna Dusseldorf 2 – 1 Hannover
