... Marvin Ducksch: “We’re over the moon to have signed Marvin here. We listened to the critics about the amount of money we paid for him, but we knew his strengths and the quality he brings to our side. When you see the partnership he has with Niklas, how they move, and how he finds space, dropping back now and again, you know he’s a striker who’s hard to predict and can always spring a moment of surprise in a game. You really have to keep a handle on him for the full 90 minutes if you’re up against him. This weekend, he wasn’t quite at the stratospheric level we’ve seen him at in other games, but he was in the right place at the right time and showed how dangerous he is. Off the pitch, he has a huge amount of respect within the squad and speaks about things when he needs to.”
... the upcoming match against St. Pauli: “We know how strong they are. I think it’s going to be an interesting game for us all, and we’re looking forward to it. It’s a proper top-of-the-table clash, a six-pointer, but we’re going to St. Pauli feeling good and need to train as well as we can all week to be fully prepared going into the game. It’s really important for us to be focused on each week as it comes and concentrating on the next task at hand. That’s one of the ways we’ve been doing so well in the last few weeks and months – we can think about things like the league table later, at the end of the season.”
