“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.
