Freiburg

They have a solid and mature team that poses a lot of danger on the sides and set pieces. Sebastian Hoeneß says our task will be to keep them out of the box and make trouble through our own game. The people of Freiburg have the opportunity to show a certain unpredictability through various printing systems and standard variations. We want to pull that off a bit on Saturday.

Fans

I know the game is important to our fans. We want to get three points. If we can do that, we'll have a really good start to the season. We want to feel their support.

Stuttgart

I expect a very, very close game. I think Stuttgart is on the right track. They played a very strong game against Hamburg in the fight against relegation last season. It's a team that doesn't know what to do next. That's why we have to give our best.

Season Start

We have made a very good start to the season. It is not in our history to start by winning 3 games in a row. We are motivated to achieve this. We have done our work and we are ready.
