… the third encounter: The derby is always a very special game, now with the fans again. That makes it even more special. The city needs that too.
…Hertha’s style of play: The way will have changed with the new coach. The mentality will be different. And it’s going to be a tough game. I hope it ends positively.
… Felix Magath: He stands for the old school, the hard school. But I grew up with Peter Pacult. He has a similar rank. I don’t see that as a bad thing. I can’t say anything negative about that.
