We don't talk about contracts of players here, so it would be a surprise if we talked about contracts of managers."On the kind of game he expects against Brighton: "A very attractive and interesting style, which makes it again complicated as well, because we only have 62 hours of rest in between after we put in an enormous shift Wednesday, in terms of physical performance."Tell me what is smart — and, yes, I have to make that decision — but Jeremie Frimpong, for example, is such an explosive player, made so many sprints and so many times this season, unfortunately, when games came fast he got injured. I would say we are struggling to score goals."Not that we don't score them, but with all the chances we create, it's unbelievable that we score more, especially looking at the quality we are having upfront and throughout the whole team.

There we have to be very well prepared and be ready to face that fight and go into that fight with them."On 12.30pm kick-offs: "I don't mind at all playing 12.30pm because we train – not today, a little bit later because we want to give them as much rest as we can because sleeping is very important in recovery – but usually we train a lot around 12.30, 1 o'clock. So, every time I make a line-up from now on, you don't have to ask yourself that question: 'There must be a reason why he's playing right full-back?' because Dominik is a very, very, very good midfielder for us."We have more than only Dominik, by the way, so that's also why I can bring him to another position.

But if we miss out five, six or seven players, which we've done a lot of times this season, then maybe we disagree."But then, for me, the team was then stronger when I made that choice by playing him at full-back and playing other players in midfield. Maybe I was wrong because we didn't win every single game he played at right full-back, but that was then my take on it.
