Shortly before kick-off, Felix Magath spoke in an interview with Sky TV.
On the special constellation that he meets his former club: “Normally I would enjoy the game. It’s tingling. The whole town is looking forward to the game. But I’m not really enjoying it yet.”
On his relationship with HSV: “It mustn’t touch me. I’m too conscientious for that.”
On goalkeeper Oliver Christensen, who is making his professional debut for Hertha: “He makes a good impression, I’m confident he keeps his shop clean.”
Luca Wollschläger’s starting XI debut: “Every time he came in, he did something, against Bielefeld, also against Mainz when he hit the inside of the post. I told him: ‘All good things come in threes. Today you score.’
When asked if Hertha would press up against HSV like SC Freiburg did in the cup semifinals: “You can’t always copy what other teams are doing. We know how HSV will play and we will do our best to ensure that it doesn’t come into play.”
