Wagner conceded the natural frustration of supporters when results are lacking. “It’s naturally a shame. I don’t see my name specifically, but generally it’s a shame when the fans aren’t satisfied,” he stated. Despite the visible discontent, the Augsburg faithful did not subject Wagner to a chorus of boos after the final whistle, instead offering applause and celebrating him as he approached the stands.
