We always want to play well and entertain a lot. But that's not possible sometimes. We made a few mistakes yesterday and had little control. There are things to improve. We are always self-critical. Even when we win, we know that not everything went well. We always reflect. We will use the time on board the plane to do our office work.
We don't have much time to prepare for the game but that's not a new dynamic for us. It will be a tough challenge. Wolfsburg are not in the table where they could possibly deserve to be.
They always play with great intensity, are strong in transition, are compact and they have lots of possibilities in terms of personnel. We need good energy for Sunday and we have lots of fresh players for that. I say again and again, we need the whole squad.

...WOLFSBURG
They always play with great intensity, are strong in transition, are compact and they have lots of possibilities in terms of personnel. We need good energy for Sunday and we have lots of fresh players for that. I say again and again, we need the whole squad.
Ralph Hasenhüttl
Manager on Wolfsburg…PRESSURE
We are winners, at some point it can change. I think that Leverkusen knows that we can't finish in 13th place. They know that we are a tough nut to crack. The greater pressure is on Leverkusen. You want to keep your distance, we have the opportunity to nibble on something.
…AMIN SARR
He has now been trained very well. He is at a level that matches the level of many of our players. He recommended himself in training. He also became more mature in his head, something clicked. You can also see that in the performances on the training pitch.
…CRITICISM
Football is sometimes easy to explain and sometimes not so easy. Nobody expects anything from us.
