Yes, I'd like to see videos dispalyed.
“The mood is better today than yesterday. We have discussed everything as usual, we have to be professional and focus on the next game,” said Xabi Alonso at the pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon. “Today we had our first and last training session in preparation for tomorrow. We are ready!“
Asked about the rhythm of the weeks with midweek matches and the Bundesliga games in between two Champions League clashes Alonso said: “We’re used to that so it shouldn’t be a problem for us. We need fresh legs and clear heads regardless of the individual competition. We want to go flat out in every game.”
Looking back at the 2-2 draw in the reverse fixture in Bremen, where the Werkself gave away the lead on 90 minutes at the end of October, Alonso declared: “We need more energy and more clarity for this return fixture.”
The long-term injured players Jeanuel Belocian and Martin Terrier plus Robert Andrich, as in Munich, will not be available. Alonso: “He still has flu and doesn’t feel better yet.” With Edmond Tapsoba nothing is standing in the way of 90 minutes on the pitch.

The Bundesliga home game against VfL Wolfsburg in the first half of the season was one of those classic ‘days to forget’ for Bayer 04 Women. It started with goalkeeper Charlotte Voll being shown a red card in the first minute of the game, and following a further sending-off, coach Roberto Pätzold's 9-women side ended up losing 5-1 to last season's runners-up. At 18.30 CET on Sunday, they'll have the chance to exact revenge at the AOK Stadium - and pick up valuable points in the race for third place.

After full time in the 1-1 draw against FC Bayern Munich, the Bayer 04 fans first had to catch their breath. Firstly because of their usual loud support, and secondly because of the great drama they'd witnessed on the pitch: three disallowed goals, two red cards and a Werkself side who "again produced a very good performance against strong opponents", as head coach Kasper Hjulmand described. The Dane was particularly enthused by the performance of young Montrell Culbreath, while Patrik Schick got to enjoy his 200th appearance under the Cross. The Werkself Review unpacks the action.
