German Hoffenheim midfielder Tom Bischof told what he expects from today's match of his team against Dynamo Kyiv in the 2nd round of the main stage of the Europa League.
"As for the match with Werder (3:4, German championship - ed.), with the score 3:0 in our favor, we fell apart too early, conceded goals too quickly and simply did not defend well enough. I don't understand how this could have happened to us. After the game I felt an emptiness inside me.
But now we need to put this defeat behind us, learn from it and rehabilitate ourselves in the match with Dynamo Kyiv. The first 20 minutes against Werder showed that we can play well. And that is exactly what we will need in the upcoming match.
It is great that we can immediately react to the defeat. We have a very high-quality team, and we want and need to restore our faith in it in the match against Dynamo and please our fans in the stands with our game and the result.
What kind of game do I expect against Dynamo Kyiv? It can be very unpleasant. But we just need to play our soccer, show our qualities on the field, and then we can win. We are doubly motivated - we not only want to take three points, but we also want to give the fans a victory," Bischof was quoted by the official website of Hoffenheim.
