Afternoon, Unioner. We are LIVE at the Alte Försterei for the press conference ahead of #HSVFCU with Steffen Baumgart's co-trainer, Sebastian Bönig. You can watch it LIVE on YouTube, or just follow along in the replies for the usual updates (of a sort)
2
Böni looks happy, but then he always does. Christian Arbeit starts off with the good news that he will be Steffen's understudy on the bench on Sunday, but the bad news, that Livan Burcu, Andrik Markgraf and Robert Skov will be missing
3
He says how happy he is to be sitting in the big chair for the first time. Asked about his attacking trident, he says he had seen how much work they were putting in, how their partnership had developed. We hope it carries on, he says of their lightning attack
4
We have definitely conceded too many goals, he says, and that it's something that needs to be improved against a good HSV side.
5
I am excited ahead of every game, he says. The preparations have of course all been with Steffen, but he will be doing the interviews before and after the game. He loves this club. As is Steffen, he is a legend here. We are lucky.
6
He was very happy, he says of Diogo's performance in Frankfurt, especially as he hadn't completed the whole pre-season. As for who will be starting,of course, he gives nothing away.
7
He says that Steffen is disappointed, of course, not to be able to be on the bench against his former club. But he goes on to say how they have improved over the last couple of games, but you go into every home game expecting to win.
8
They have been working on how they play with the ball particularly this week. We know our strengths, he says. Both Steffen, and hat-trick man Oliver Burke will have to pay into the team kitty this week.The rules are, after all, the rules. And that's that. See you Sunday. Eisern
