Opposition View

Michél Kniat, head coach of Arminia Bielefeld, at the press conference before the match: „Darmstadt is a very good team that just showed in the cup that they are extremely dangerous and can transition very well. They have good strikers who constantly create scoring opportunities, press high up the pitch, and generally have a lot of passing sequences in their game. We have to defend with the same passion that we showed in the last two matches. Darmstadt is on a very good run, as the game against Schalke demonstrated. They will demand everything from us.“
