Return to OriginalStuttgart coach Markus Babbel has declared that his sides first half performance against Sevilla was "incomprehensible" and "not worthy of Stuttgart".
The sides finished level at 1-1 with Zdravko Kuzmanovic's fabulous equaliser cancelling out Jesus Navas' first half goal and Babbel acknowldeged that his team were simply not good enough in the first half.
"Words fail me, because in the first half we played very badly, the worst performance of my team in a long time, and the best thing that happened was that we only went in a goal down," Babbel told a press conference.
"At half-time I had to raise my voice, because the first half was incomprehensible. I told them to fight to be in the Champions League.
"I told them that only should I be afraid, that job that is in danger is mine, and not any of the players. The first half was not worthy of Stuttgart," he continued.
The draw leaves Stuttgart two points behind Unirea Urziceni with Sevilla already qualified with two games remaining.
