Sebastian Kehl: “We know what our chances are” | OneFootball

Sebastian Kehl on the current mood in the team after the defeat in Munich:“We’ve reviewed the game and analysed it critically from both sides. We didn’t play well in the first half, but we did much better in the second. In the end, we came away with nothing. And now we’re already thinking about tomorrow and the game against Copenhagen. It’s an important Champions League game for us, one we absolutely want to win. So we’re looking ahead with a very, very positive attitude.”

...Lessons learned from the game against Bayern:“Of course, we’ve identified a few things we can and have done significantly better in recent weeks. But not every opponent is like Bayern Munich, who I believe are currently setting the benchmark in many areas. Nevertheless, we showed in the second half that we can hold our own and that we could have taken a point in the end. But we’ve dealt with those things. We’re now focusing on tomorrow’s game against Copenhagen and hopefully we’ll do a few things better there.”

…the tight schedule:“That’s quite normal at this time of year. We have lots and lots of games coming up in the next few weeks. We also have a few away games, which we are preparing for very intensively and very professionally. We want to maintain this rhythm. It will be an emotional atmosphere, but we know what we have to do and we know what our chances are.”

…the task in Copenhagen:“Copenhagen haven’t been getting results at the moment and are struggling a bit. But they are incredibly dangerous in the Champions League, because that’s a competition that everyone there takes very seriously. We played there a few years ago. It’s not easy to win there, but I’m very, very optimistic. We’re in a stable phase overall. Most of the players are on board, so hopefully we can expect a good performance there tomorrow. We’re flying there to win – that’s clear.”

…possible rotation in the starting XI:“The manager may make a few changes due to the many matches we have coming up. That’s quite normal, the squad is well-equipped, but the manager will announce his decision tomorrow. No matter who plays, they will give their all.”

…the reunion with Copenhagen striker Youssoufa Moukoko:“Youssoufa has always been part of the BVB family in recent years, of course, and then decided to go down a new path. Naturally, we’re following him. I’m curious to see if he’ll start tomorrow. Let’s wait and see. There will certainly be a big hello, but he will also try to lead his team to victory tomorrow.”
