For me, it all comes down to what we do as a team. I look forward to going to work every single day. I’m always excited to see the lads and it’s even better that we’re playing such good football at the moment. You look forward to it even more when you’re winning. Our style of play suits me down to the ground.”
…the Bundesliga: “The speed of play is a step up. In the game against Schalke there were a few moments when the game was really open. In the Bundesliga, there is less space and everything is more compact. However, we have players in our squad who know what the Bundesliga is all about.”
