There are different challenges. Of course, teams that you don’t have every day at the door that you naturally have to deal intensively. We did that. Of course, you have the climatic conditions. You have the time shift. But all of these are things that you like to get involved with now because we have worked long and hard to ensure that we can take part in this and this format. Therefore, it was also an exciting task for the players to get involved. For the analysts, for the whole team around it. To assume this challenge to prepare well. And that’s why we prefer to talk about opportunities that now offer us. We are now full of rhythm. We adapted. We should survive the group phase first. That is another challenge. We have a few unknown opponents, but of course we dare to survive the group phase. And then you have to see what happens then. Then you could also meet Inter Milan in the round of 16. But don’t let us look so far forward. Let us try to get in well on Tuesday. It is 12:00, it’s at noon. It will be very Brazilian with fluminense in challenging opponents who play a completely different football. So we want to start this tournament well. What comes afterwards, we know that at such a tournament, also depends a bit with luck, with a day form, with injury topics. But we feel prepared.
