- The Stuttgart coach expects a lot of power and energy in the stadium, against a confident team with a really experienced coach. He thinks it is one of the most difficult ties they could have faced.
- Asked about Martin O'Neill's 1,000th game in management, the Stuttgart coach said he has the highest respect for his career. At 73, O'Neill has shown in recent weeks he knows how to manage a team.
- He called Celtic a really experienced team, with almost every player around 26 or 27, plus two new signings who will help. It is not only a few players: he thinks they have 13 or 14 really good ones.
- He was at Celtic Park in 2017 with a youth team, watching the senior game that evening, and said the memories are incredible. These are the games you want to play, in stadiums like that.
“I'm like a little fan of him because he's a really good guy and a really good player.”
- Asked whether they had been in touch, he said the player texted him straight after the draw. He is sad the player is injured and will miss the match, but still hopes to see him around it.
