“If we still want to achieve our aims in the Bundesliga this season, we need to play every game to win. Sitting back against Dortmund and just defending is not the way to go. We need to utilise our offensive qualities.

I’m expecting another attacking game. We’re in the fortunate position of not having to worry about relegation and can take a few risks now. You have to take risks if you want to achieve things.”
