The boys know that they can’t take one step less. That they have to give it their all, in every game and in every training session. It will be a challenge against a team that is unbeaten in 33 games. But with the fans behind us at home it will be a special game.
Davie Selke won't start yet. But he is very important for our group. I'm really happy that he's back in training. Timo Hübers is there again. However, the squad has not yet been named.
When Leverkusen plays in Cologne, it is always a special game. We have our own ideas about how we can hurt Leverkusen. With the knowledge that a very difficult task awaits us. We're going to have to be uncomfortable. And we can do that. We can be uncomfortable against the ball and with the ball.

Now we are going into the next intense phase up to the international break. The players have deserved the last few days off and it gave them the chance to relax their minds and legs. We’ve trained well this week and are ready for Sunday. We are expecting a tough match with intense duels. It’s a very important game for both teams. We want to produce a good performance and show what we can do on the pitch

Pala feels really good, he’s trained well and is ready. Arthur and Victor Boniface are currently working hard, ambitiously and professionally on their comebacks. Things are going in the right direction.

There are still lots of games and lots of points up for grabs. Anything can happen and not just for Köln but also for any team anywhere in the table.
