Book: “His mood keeps getting better” | OneFootball

Ole Book on Nico Schlotterbeck’s return to team training: “Nico is making a very good impression. His mood always improves a bit when he can play football again and train with the team — and that certainly means he is also very close to being back on the pitch and playing football in front of people again. That does him good, which is why he is making a very good impression, including in training yesterday. It already looked very much like football again.”

… when asked whether Ramy Bensebaini is fit to play again: “I would assume so, yes. He is training well, is also making a good impression, and is fit.”

… the upcoming home game against SC Paderborn: “It will definitely be a difficult task. Of course, I know Paderborn very well too, just like our coaches and players, who have looked at them extremely closely. We know how intense Paderborn can be in the way they play football, how hard-working they are, and how good their patterns of play are. We have a good understanding of the fact that they have caused every opponent major problems. Nevertheless, we are looking forward to a home game in the Bundesliga and want to build on the good performance against Villarreal.”

… a possible two-striker partnership of Guirassy/Silva: “I don’t want to pre-empt the coach’s tactical systems and formations. Of course we talk about it, and when players put in good performances and make a case for themselves, you naturally think about who fits well together. But that applies not only to Fabio, but also to other players who have delivered good performances. Fortunately, there are quite a few positions where we might sometimes have tough selection decisions to make, but that is exactly the kind of squad we want to have.”Recorded by Mats-Yannick Roth
