Here we go. Steffen and Christian Arbeit enter stage left, Steffen in black t-shirt and blue jeans. He nods. Christian starts with the good news that it's soldout, but the bad news that Dmytro Bogdanov, Robert Skov and Andrik Markgraf are missing

I will be happy, as ever, for a loud and emotional stadium, starts Steffen. He talks of the needto defend well tomorrow against a side stacked with good players. Of course, he says, set-pieces, taking your chances, all that belongs to football.

Fortunately we have defenders who have scored, he says, and it doesnt really help, but of course i can say we've been working on it (getting his strikers scoring). I am pretty sure that they'll get the opportunities and that it'll work, he says.

Livan is a very young player, he says, not just a great talent, which he is. I will support him in the work he needs to get better. He talks a lot, is open, and I like that about him, he continues. On Burcu's international ambitions, he says that it is important his players know that here (the AF) is the first address that counts. After that, everything is possible.

H talks of the many ways that he could change the formation and the starting XI tomorrow, with two strikers or three.

Asked about what makes a floodlight game spevial, he smiles. The Bundesliga is geil, he says. It is a pleasure to be in this league whether Saturdays at 15:30, or Fridays at 20:00. There is something about the lights, he concedes, but they're all special.

Asked about Urs Fuscher's return to work, he says he is a special trainer, and he wishes hims success and good luck. It's good to have a personality back in the league.

Christian rounds things off by reminding us that Monday sees the final home game of the year, when the women host Eintracht Frankfurt. BAnd that's that. they exit, as do we. See you tomorrow. Eisern!
