00:00 I just wanted to ask about Sunday's opponents, Forest,
00:02 they've been sort of draw specialists of late.
00:05 I thought we forgot that it's actually Nottingham Forest.
00:07 Yeah, they've been draw specialists of late,
00:09 have they made themselves harder to beat
00:11 and how do you feel they've developed maybe since last season?
00:14 Yeah, a lot, the second year, people might say it's the second year, right?
00:20 Last year, Brummel, yeah, the second year.
00:22 In Germany, obviously the second year is more difficult than the first one.
00:25 I wasn't sure about that, but I wasn't too often in the second year,
00:29 so I don't know exactly, but he's just doing a really good job.
00:34 It's changed again a lot, a lot of players are in,
00:38 I really hope, not for the game, but for the occasion that Divock Origi will be in the squad,
00:45 I hope he's fit, stuff like this, that the people can give him a little hello,
00:51 he would deserve that definitely.
00:54 Besides that, I don't wish him a good game, that's clear, but at least the occasion.
00:58 Besides that, a lot of options, a lot of different opportunities for him to pick from,
01:06 it's a really big squad, but for sure a challenge to manage properly.
01:12 But he's doing it without any noise, I never hear anything from anybody there,
01:17 so it's obviously working really well.
01:19 And I think it's clear for Nottingham, they want to stay in the league
01:22 and then progress from there, and that's what they are doing at the moment,
01:26 in a super-tricky Premier League, they pick their points,
01:29 and we know what we have to expect.
01:31 It's now the analysis, obviously the proper analysis will happen tomorrow morning,
01:34 you may forgive me that I didn't do that before this game,
01:38 but I know already it will be really tricky.
01:42 We remember especially the away game last year when we lost,
01:47 that was a really hard day for us, but credit to Nottingham,
01:55 because I think we were a better team that day,
01:59 but you couldn't see that on the score sheet because they just stayed in the game,
02:03 and that's probably the biggest strength,
02:05 that whatever happens they stay in the game,
02:07 and in the moment when they can do it they will score and punish you.
02:11 So we have to make sure that we are ready, because this will be a tough one, definitely.
