Oliver Glasner on…
…the preparation for Hertha BSC: “Preparation has been short. We stayed in Helsinki on Thursday to train and recuperate. Now we’ll have another session on the pitch, energise ourselves and then head to Berlin. We’ve said that the Super Cup was the conclusion to last year’s Europa League journey. The full focus is now on the Bundesliga.”
…opponents Hertha: “Hertha have a lot of quality at their disposal, a lot of pace in attack and a strong midfield with [Suat] Serdar, [Kevin-Prince] Boateng and [Lucas] Tousart. It’s certainly not been the start they would’ve wanted with the cup exit at Braunschweig and the derby defeat against Union, so both teams will be going all out for the win and putting everything into claiming the three points.”
...his expectations for the game: “Hertha like to bring the forwards into play through their technically strong midfield, and the full-backs regularly overlap. They’re very flexible but have already conceded quite a lot of goals, so there will be opportunities for us to get chances. It’s down to us to create and convert them.”
It's quite possible that there'll be one or two new players in the starting line-up because they've.

…Christopher Lenz: "As long as Chris Lenz feels good, he'll start on the left again. He did well against Real Madrid.
