Martín Demichelis on facing Gladbach

"Gladbach have made a major change compared to last season: they now play one-on-one against the ball across the entire pitch. Bayern Munich defend that way too, as do PSG, which is why many head coaches are now adopting this approach. That wasn't the case before. We will need to be prepared for that, as it means that our opposition will close us down immediately and will press us hard. We need to make good decisions and find space. We've shown the players that and we've worked on it in training."

Eugen Polanski on facing Leipzig

"We've created a very good feeling over pre-season, but competitive matches are different from friendlies. We know Saturday will be completely different from the cup game against [Schott] Mainz. Leipzig play in an intense and very attacking way. We need to overcome the obstacles we will surely face there."

Leipzig also booked their place in the next round as Martín Demichelis' tenure as head coach got off to a winning start against fifth-tier outfit Eintracht Trier. Two quickfire goals from Brajan Gruda and Willi Orbán sent the Saxony club on their way to a 6-0 victory, with Conrad Harder, Antonio Nusa and Ezechiel Banzuzi also on the scoresheet.
