Tim Walter on facing Fürth

"Whether the cup fight cost us energy or gave us a boost remains to be seen. Some say one thing, others say another. In my opinion, it gives us a real lift and we want to keep riding that wave."

Heiko Vogel on facing Kiel

"Kiel put in a great performance against Hoffenheim in the cup. That'll certainly be good for their confidence, but you can't just dismiss what playing 120 minutes does to your energy reserves. They're a side with a very unique style of play, and we expect them to stick to that approach."
