The quote about the cup game
It will be a very big challenge. And it requires extremely good content performance. For a second division team, we have a very developed and good feel for positional and offensive play. We are still able to defend more and more stably. But we certainly have to put in an extremely strong mental performance as well. We have the idea and the belief that we can use this small opportunity to move forward.
