Bayern Munich

We will see what impact their elimination to the League 3 team will have on the match tomorrow. But I have rarely seen Bayern deliver two bad performances in a row. Their senses are always a little sharper towards us than other opponents. And now they probably have a little more fire in their bellies. It wasn't long ago that they scored eight goals in one half. We know Bayern's quality and we know it will be a very difficult task, but it is one we are really looking forward to and we go into it with a lot of desire.

9-Games Winless Streak

In the past, and especially last year, we came close to upsetting them. But we need to learn that these games can be decided by small details. We have to be effective in our game. We can't afford to miss too many chances if we want to win the game.

Fan Support

This is a very special game, especially for our fans. It will be sold out and extremely loud. Our expectation will be to give it our all and win the game. We know we want to do them justice and give something back with the way we play football.

Elimination from the Cup

No resignation. We were obviously very disappointed. Nobody was shouting or blaming others. We were very disappointed because our goals were clear. We need to put it behind us. Getting over it will take some time though. There is no reason for us to resign. We are in great form in the Bundesliga and we have a team we trust. We are going to Dortmund to win. A defeat is against Bayern's constitution. Unfortunately, this is part of the sport. We wanted to avoid this with all our might. Now we want to show a reaction.

Dortmund Match

It is important that we perform to our limits and play diligently. I think we have enough quality, form and spirit to win at Dortmund. We're going there to win.

Center of Defense

If Upa can't play, then Leon Goretzka. If Leon can't play, then Upa. We have to wait and see. No matter the importance of the game, we have a responsibility for the whole season. We have to be smart and weigh things up. We'll chat now and put it all on the table for what it takes to weigh things up. The decision will be made late.

Relationship with the Team

I'm part of a team and a great club. When we win I'm a part of it and when we lose I'm a part of it. Everything is fine in the internal relationship, otherwise we would not be able to play a season like we are doing now. And a defeat, no matter how painful, won't change that now.
