Adi Hütter on...
…personnel: “Other than Goncalo Paciencia, all the players were able to train today and are available for tomorrow.”
…the current situation: “We can obviously see the table and are aware of the tight situation. That said, I want to make it clear that we’re confident in the quality of the players. In order to pick up points it’s important to have belief, faith and confidence in our squad.”
…the upcoming games: “The next three matches will be important, but we still have other games after that. I’m not worrying about how many points we need to reach a healthier position. Our objective is to start the week with a win against a Freiburg side who can certainly play with less pressure than ourselves.”
…the defeat in Freiburg earlier this season: “We don’t want to prove anything to Freiburg, although we do to our fans and the people at the club. It’s important to fight our way out of this rather precarious situation. We’re confident in the quality and experience in the squad.”
…Tuesday’s game and its significance: “The game won’t be decisive, but it’ll give us an indication. I’m expecting an opponent with a high work-rate, a well organised defence, who are strong in transition and will try to force set-pieces. Freiburg are in a healthy position and can play without pressure despite the defeat against Bremen.”
