+++ The incentive could not be greater, things are hotting up and the excitement is building! Max Kruse is one man who certainly does not need an extra push to get himself up for the Nordderby, even as somebody born in Hamburg. “Nobody needs to tell me how much this one means. It’s all about the game on Sunday. We’ll fight tooth and nail to win it.” And the 29-year-old is fully aware of the ferocity of the game. “The hype of the derby is on everybody’s mind but we shouldn’t talk about it every day. We will go onto the pitch in peak condition on Sunday. We know what it’s all about and our focus is wholly on this challenge,” added Kruse. +++
