Milos Veljkovic interview

In the Pokal tie against Leipzig, the Green-Whites showed that heart out on the pitch once again. Even if the match was lost in the final minutes, the team were unlucky and can take important confidence from the game. “We can take some positives from the game and now we need to take momentum on board to stay in the league. We need the same fighting spirit for our next game.”

Our next opponents are sixth-place Bayer 04 Leverkusen. The focus has entirely been on our own performance in order to bring the necessary heart and fight out onto the pitch. “They are obviously a team who are mixing it near the top. They are in good form but it’s up to us and how we play. We need the same strength and desire that we showed against Leipzig. The relegation battle will be a psychological one as well. We are aware of that.”
