Adi Hütter on...
...struggling for motivation: “I’m not worried about that whatsoever. I think that we were certainly disappointed after we lost the DFB Cup semi-final, but on the other hand we know we have another four important Bundesliga matches ahead of us.”
...the rest of the season: “We’re taking these four games very seriously because there are 12 points up for grabs. We need to pick up some more wins and we want to finish off the season as best we possibly can. That means that in the remaining two-and-a-half weeks, we need to give it our all, and everyone’s up for that.”
...the squad: “If you look at the injury situation at other clubs including Hertha, then it’s testament to the work we’ve done in our medical department that with the exception of Gelson Fernandes, it’s all hands on deck. Even Goncalo Paciencia is back training with the squad. They’re all fit and in good shape physically, and that’s important.”
...this weekend’s opponents: “Hertha have been more disciplined tactically under Bruno Labbadia and have won their last two matches, keeping clean sheets into the bargain. They are going to try to harry us physically. We need to be up for the fight as well as sticking to what we are meant to do, making more out of our possession and showing the kind of guts that we did in the second half in Munich.”
...his 100th match in charge of Eintracht: “I am so unbelievably proud to have racked up so many matches in less than two years. No-one would have believed that back in 2018. And I have the team to thank for the fact that they made sure we had so many games, particularly in Europe.”
