Eintracht head coach Niko Kovac...
…on the opponent Borussia Dortmund: „BVB are the better football team but there are other virtues also. We won't make it easy for them and we will give our everything.“
…on the preperation of the team: „We will have our routines as in the usual league procedures. There is no point in changing that now.“
…on the size of the Eintracht delegation: „The whole club will travel to Berlin, also all the injured players. 20 lads will be in the preliminary squad, 18 of them on the team sheet on Saturday.“
…on the motivation speech of an Eintracht fan after the Leipzig match: „Our fans are unique. Only a few Bundesliga fan scenes, three or four, are on a similar level.“
…on players returning from injury: „I am glad to have a bigger choice now. Jesús Vallejo and Alex Meier are fit to play, it is also looking good for Slobodan Medojevic and Andersson Ordonez.“
…on the chances of winning: „If you look at the squads we're the outsiders on Saturday, but anything is possible in a single match. We have confidence and will.“
…on the match plan: „We will have to attack also and we'll be looking to make it difficult for our opponent. We do want to win hence we need to partake in the match rather than play destructively.“
…on the final in his hometown Berlin: „I am looking forward to be back and to meet many friends and family members. That makes it even more special to me.“
