Sebastian Hoeneß on facing Dortmund

“Among other things, we’ve been focusing on aspects such as closing down our opponents, compactness, intensity, accuracy and aggression. Our expectation is to deliver in those areas at the highest possible level. Our next opponents Dortmund are very consistent, have clear patterns of play and also perform with a certain physicality.”

Niko Kovač on facing Stuttgart

"Three points sounds like very little right now, but Stuttgart faced Bayern and Hoffenheim in their first three games. Those aren’t easy opponents. With the atmosphere at their home ground, it’s going to be very difficult for any opponent - including us this weekend.”
