“We’re going into the game with respect but also real excitement,” Alonso said at Monday’s press conference. “Our goal is clearly to get to the final. We’ll need head, heart and passion for that. It won’t be easy.”
Bielefeld have already knocked out three Bundesliga teams in the Pokal this season in Union Berlin, Freiburg and Werder Bremen. They are also well placed in their push for promotion back to Bundesliga 2, sitting fourth in the 3. Liga. “They’re in good shape. And in my opinion they fully deserve to be in the semi-finals. They’re brave on the ball and very dynamic in their play,” Alonso added. “And then there’s the special atmosphere inside their stadium. I’ve not been before, but I’ve heard a bit about it.”
Asked about the potential return of Nathan Tella, Alonso said: “He feels a lot better. If there’s no problems in training now, then he’ll be involved.” However, the game comes too early for Edmond Tapsoba and Florian Wirtz.
The Spaniard was also asked about who will be in goal on Tuesday. Matej Kovar has played in all the previous rounds this season. “Matej is in a good place mentally, is training well and able to play at any time. We’ll see tomorrow who plays,” Alonso said, keeping his cards close to his chest.
