“Carry the momentum with me”

Djibril Sow on…

… his performance against Leipzig: “It wasn’t easy because I hadn’t played very much before that game. My job was to close the gaps in defensive midfield, but I could have done more going forward. Having said that, I’m pleased overall and I think we did well against a difficult opponent.”

… his personal aims: “Obviously I want to carry that momentum with me and I hope I can start against Union Berlin too. That’s why it’s important that I work hard on myself every day, give my all in training and make sure I’m a candidate to play in the games.”

… the period when he didn’t play much: “Obviously it’s frustrating when you’re not playing, but I didn’t let myself get knocked down by it. I kept on giving 100 per cent in training so that I was an option for our matches.”

… upcoming opponent Union Berlin: “We’ve had a lot of draws so obviously we really want to win again. They’re on a good run of form but I’m convinced we’ll win in Berlin if we can play to our best as a team.”
