Dino Toppmöller on ...

... Eintracht’s approach on the final day: “We’re desperate to win the game tomorrow and want to finish on a high. We have a plan to make sure Seppl and Makoto get what they deserve tomorrow. I’m looking forward to seeing them again. It’ll certainly be very emotional. I’m expecting the fans to do exactly what they’ve done all season: give us fantastic support.”

... personnel: “Everyone’s 100% fit for tomorrow. Mario Götze and Robin Koch have been back on the pitch, so I’m very confident as far as they’re concerned.”

... Sebastian Rode and Makoto Hasebe: “We’ll do all we can and we have one or two plans up our sleeve to ensure they get what they deserve on Saturday. Everyone who starts has a responsibility [to perform], because we want to steer the game in a direction that might make things a bit more relaxed for the two of them at the end. However, I also believe they can offer us something if the closing stages prove a little tricky. I’m looking forward to seeing them again. It’s very emotional. Seppl already said a few words to the whole group in training today. We want to finish on a high tomorrow – for those two in particular.”

... opponents Leipzig: “I’m expecting them to field a strong team tomorrow. We’re facing an opponent with a lot of quality. The most important thing for us will be to hit the ground running and deliver a good performance. We want to win the game and end on a high.”
