Game day quote
The team is very hungry and focused and was a little angry that “only” two points came from the good performances of the English week. We have to channel this mood. Because we need a cool head against Kaiserslautern and have to be very confident.
Opposition View:
Markus Anfang, head coach of 1. FC Kaiserslautern, at the press conference before the duel with the Lilies: “Due to the series we played recently, with many experiences of success, we of course also have a certain self-confidence and a certain charisma.” If you realise that you can win games, even if they are close games, then it strengthens the whole thing. We really want to win the game now and we will do everything we can to do so. I think it will be a very intense game, a very passionate game and I think we have to push ourselves to the limit if we want to get points.”
