Yes, I'd like to see videos dispalyed.
"Wolfsburg are a good opponent. We have great respect for the task and we are focussed. That's our mentality and attitude," said Kasper Hjulmand at the pre-match press conference on Friday afternoon.
VfL Wolfsburg are currently 14th in the Bundesliga table on eight points. As a result of the low return after ten games, the club parted company with coach Paul Simonis and sporting director Sebastian Schindzielorz during the recent international break. U19 coach Daniel Bauer has now taken over the team on an interim basis. Hjulmand: "I think the team is better than their points tally would suggest and I don't think they will perform very differently as a result of the change of coach. We know the qualities of their players and are well prepared for Wolfsburg."
In the Autostadt, Hjulmand will meet up with several familiar faces from his time as Denmark coach. While Joakim Maehle and Jesper Lindstrom are currently injured, Jonas Wind, Andreas Skov Olsen and Christian Eriksen are available. It is well known that Hjulmand has a particularly emotional history with the latter due to the cardiac arrest he suffered at the 2021 European Championships.
Hjulmand said: "When there are quieter moments, I sometimes think of him. The situation back then changed my life a bit. After that time, he returned in an international match against the Netherlands and scored after just a few minutes. It was incredibly nice to see him back on the pitch. He's a great player and an even better person. I'm looking forward to seeing him again. But I also say: We have one day to go before a match. I'm now one hundred per cent focused on tomorrow and want to win this game. After the final whistle, if there's time, I can have a chat with him and the others."
Hjulmand also commented on his own squad. "There is a question mark over Grimaldo (Alejandro Grimaldo ed.). We have our final pre-match training session this afternoon, he'll be there and then we'll decide whether he's fit enough. The same applies to Arthur."
Nathan Tella, on the other hand, is back in the squad as Hjulmand was pleased to announce. On Axel Tape and Lucas Vázquez, the 53-year-old said: "Axel is making progress and is expected to join full training next week. Lucas is currently training individually and things are looking up for him."

Bayer 04 put in a brilliant performance to beat RB Leipzig 4-1 on Bundesliga matchday 32 and are now fourth in a Champions League spot. The Black and Reds took control of the game right from the start and, with 75 per cent possession at one stage, took a 2-0 lead into the break through Patrik Schick (25’) and Nathan Tella (45+1’). The visitors initially tried to do more after the break, but the Werkself remained determined and Schick scored his second goal to increase the lead to 3-0 (76'). The Red Bulls pulled a goal back through Christoph Baumgartner (80'), but the disciplined Leverkusen side were not rattled - and certainly not Schick: The Czechia international crowned a brilliant display with his third goal shortly before the final whistle to make the final score 4-1.

In the previous game against RB Leipzig in December last year, the Werkself turned came from behind to win 3-1 and further improved Leverkusen's already strong record against the Red Bulls. Montrell Culbreath stood out with his first goal on his debut for the Black and Reds. While the 18-year-old would certainly like to score a second goal against Leipzig on Saturday night, the attack-minded visitors come to the BayArena in confident mood after five Bundesliga victories in a row. The Nordkurve12 supporters group knows the Werkself will therefore once again be reliant on the vociferous support of the fans, and has once again called for the ‘Finally Red’ campaign in the run-in.
