Urs Fischer on facing Frankfurt

"We need to stick to our principles. We've been doing well in that regard but there's still room for improvement. There are things we can still work on. We were very compact and patient against Hamburg, and I think we're going to have to play the same way against Frankfurt."

Adi Hütter on facing Mainz

"It all comes down to the intensity with which we approach the game. We need to rise to the challenge from the first minute, throw ourselves into tackles and play with energy. If we do that, I’m confident we’ll put in a good performance.”
