Key Takeaways
- Andrej Kramarić signed a contract extension to remain at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim for two additional seasons.
- The Croatian forward scored during the 3-3 draw with VfB Stuttgart, but a last-minute equaliser spoiled the result.
- Kramarić stated he is too disappointed by the outcome to enjoy his new deal.
Before the referee blew the first whistle on Saturday, the mood at TSG 1899 Hoffenheim was positive. Their record goalscorer Andrej Kramarić had agreed to stay at the club for two more years, adding to the ten seasons he has already served.
The good feelings disappeared quickly. A dramatic match against VfB Stuttgart finished 3-3 after the visitors struck late to level the score. Kramarić found the net himself, but he left the pitch feeling upset rather than satisfied.
In his post-match interview, the striker explained his conflicting emotions. He noted that while the contract news pleases him, the final result hurts too much to smile.
“I have spent 10 years here, and now I will stay for two more. That part is positive,” he said. “But I want to laugh and I cannot. I am very serious right now because that ending was a shock.”
The dropped points stung Kramarić deeply. Over the past decade, he has played a central role in building the club’s success. His goal proved his value once again, yet the result showed how costly small errors can be during this stage of the Bundesliga campaign.
