“When you immediately start well as a newly promoted team, a very special euphoria takes hold. They put on particularly good displays against Dortmund and Hamburg. To do that, you need to have a certain basic quality.

We need to put in a concentrated performance, be creative when in possession and put in the leg-work if we are to cause our opponents a problem. If we can do that, then Leipzig will have problems with us. They have a few weaknesses in their game too.”

– Dieter Hecking, VfL Wolfsburg.
