Meeting Highlights

...PREPATATION

As always we have prepared well. We have almost all players ready with a good motivation and mood. Exequiel Palacios trained well yesteday and today but he won't be risked tomorrow.

...MAINZ

The teams from Bo Henriksen always play with a lot of energy and intensity. They showed that in their last game against Augsburg. We are expecting a good opponent and don’t want to repeat the home defeat from last season.

...TITLE RACE

I don't tend to look at the table. We are not thinking about May but rather about how we can achieve our goals in this current period. We are focusing on the current opponent and the goal is clear and focus on winning our next matches.

...ABOUT MATCH

The mood has naturally been very good this week and I'm very proud of my team. We've got a good plan for tomorrow evening and we'll give everything in order for the plan to work.

...TEAM FOCUS

I believe in the boys. However, they also need to believe in themselves again. That's my main challenge here and the players were already able to implement that last weekend. We're not going to Leverkusen just to sit back. We'll fight and we want to cause them problems. We've got respect - no fear!

...BRAJAN

Brajan played well and showed fighting spirit. He set an example despite his injury and led the way in the relegation battle with the right attitude.
