VfL Bochum welcomes TSG Hoffenheim on Saturday (3.30 pm). Once again, the VfL is aiming for a win “anne Castroper”. We spoke to the captain.

After two away defeats in a row, 0:2 in Leverkusen and 2:5 in Mainz, VfL Bochum wants to show its strength again at home.

TSG Hoffenheim are the guests “anne Castroper” on Saturday from 15.30. RevierSport spoke to captain Anthony Losilla ahead of this duel.

Anthony Losilla about…

… the performance in Mainz: “Yes, it was not a good performance in the first 45 minutes. It just showed that we have big problems, that we can’t do anything if we don’t show intensity. That’s what this performance made clear. We always have to give everything, otherwise it’s not enough.”

… the pressure situation in the Hoffenheim game: “We have been under pressure since matchday 1. We know from the start what it’s all about for us. We only had one point after seven matchdays, now we have 16 points and can draw level with Hoffenheim with a win. That’s already a better situation than before. We just keep going and look from game to game.”

… the opponents TSG Hoffenheim: “We know that we can beat Hoffenheim. We want to drag them down with us. They haven’t won for a long time now either and are under pressure. Regardless of that, we know that TSG is a team that wants to play football. We like to play against teams like that. We can counter that well with our aggressiveness and take the fun out of football for our opponents. To do that, we have to show great intensity and passion.”

… the key to a win against Hoffenheim: “We have to do it like we did in the last home games: Go for it in front, give everything! We are always pushed by the crowd and want to use this support. We need to transport the atmosphere from the stands to the pitch.” wozi with gp
