Miron Muslić on facing Kiel

"The balance between offence and defence was and continues to be the key. We managed that in the first half of the season. Due to absences and new signings, the structure has changed somewhat. Now we need to find this balance again – that will happen sooner rather than later."

Marcel Rapp on facing Schalke

"We absolutely want to win this match. The support from our fans is always superb. We need them as well, because Schalke will also bring many supporters."
