"I've always looked forward to playing against Bayern, and it's the same this time. Especially because I'm meeting not just one, but several former teammates. Playing in Munich is a highlight, but it's still a normal football game. Eleven players on each side, 90 minutes and a bit more. We want to win this game,"
"Bayern are favorites to win the title. That's why it doesn't matter whether you travel to Munich as HSV, Leipzig, or any other team - you have to give your best. Otherwise, days like these can be bitter. We can't influence the schedule. But if I had been able to choose a time before the season, I would have said: After an international break would be perfect. Because Bayern have a lot of international players - and so now they have a short preparation."
Yussuf Poulsen spent most of his career at RB Leipzig and moved to Hamburger SV over the summer. He will face Bayern Munich and several former teammates now at Bayern. Poulsen calls playing in Munich a highlight but emphasizes that the match remains a normal contest of eleven players and 90 minutes, and that HSV wants to win. He acknowledges Bayern as title favorites and warns teams must give their best. Poulsen notes the fixture comes just after an international break, leaving Bayern with limited preparation due to many international players. Hamburg faces a difficult away test, though Bayern's internationals might be tired.
