4-2-3-1 or 4-4-2? "It's good to be able to play in different systems. For part of the Hinrunde, we played with three central midfielders, sometimes with two 6s and a number 10 in front of them, sometimes in a 4-4-2. What works best depends on the opponent and the characteristics of the players who are on the pitch. You have to work on each system in training. If we changed to a three-man defence overnight it would be a problem. We wouldn't be used to it."

On Carlo Ancelotti's arrival… "With each change of coach, you need some time. But after a few weeks, it's not an issue. We were together in the USA [last summer] and got to know each other well. The bigger challenge for us in the summer was that players were little by little getting back into training after the EUROs."
