Yes, I'd like to see videos dispalyed.
"Of course, the Pokal game on Wednesday was longer than we wanted," said Kasper Hjulmand at the pre-match press conference on Friday lunchtime. "But we've recovered well and have a strong squad with depth. We're travelling to Munich to play well and get a good result." How can the in-form FC Bayern striker Harry Kane (22 goals in 14 games) be stopped? "We have to defend against him and everyone else collectively, that's the only way."
When asked whether FC Bayern are invincible in their current form, the Dane replied: "They are currently the best team in Germany and one of the best in Europe. They have started really strongly in all competitions and have a lot of quality. But no team is unbeatable in any game. I firmly believe it's possible for us to come away with a result. That's why we're going there with courage and confidence."
Looking back at the last few years and the record of five league matches against FC Bayern without defeat, Hjulmand also explained: "Right now, the gap to them is perhaps a little bigger than in recent years. But our new, young team is developing well and we have the potential, also with a good game tomorrow, to reduce this gap bit by bit. Even if that takes time, of course."
The 6,000 Bayer 04 fans travelling to Munich will not be able to see Exequiel Palacios, Ezequiel Fernández, Nathan Tella and Axel Tape plus Lucas Vázquez as Hjulmand announced. Whether Malik Tillman will return to the matchday squad on Saturday was left open by the Dane: "He's training with us today and then we'll see."

It took 120 minutes, but once again Bayer 04 produced a late goal to win their DFB Pokal second-round tie away at Paderborn on Wednesday. “Same as always” was the line in Bild in homage to the 2023/24 double-winning season. With Jeanuel Belocian making his first start in over a year and Ibrahim Maza netting his first Werkself goal to secure a place in the last 16, Jonas Hofmann is eager to “take the positive feeling” into the next round.

A DFB Pokal thriller that had it all - including a positive outcome from a Bayer 04 perspective. After a goalless and uneventful first half, the second round tie at SC Paderborn 07 really took off: Following a red card for the second division side, Grimaldo scored to give Bayer 04 a 1-0 lead but Paderborn levelled before the end of normal time. The home side then turned the game round at 2-1 in extra time, before Quansah, Maza and Garcia scored for the Werkself to make it 4-2 to seal a place in the Round of 16.

SC Paderborn 07, the second-placed team in Bundesliga 2, face the Werkself in the second round of the DFB Pokal. Although Paderborn have won six games in a row, Bayer 04 have never lost to SCP. That will hopefully continue on Wednesday, 29 October (kick-off: 18:00 CET) with Patrick Ittrich the man with the whistle. The experienced referee will have to make do without the support of VAR at the Home Deluxe Arena. Read on for further information on tonight’s game in the matchday news.
