Leverkusen (dpa) - Long-time Berlin Hertha professional Fabian Lustenberger goes with great respect, but also self-confidence in the second round second leg of the Europa League with the Young Boys Bern at Bayer Leverkusen (Thursday, 9 p.m. / DAZN).
«We won the first leg and are in a good position.
But we know that Leverkusen has incredible qualities, "said the 32-year-old, who played for Hertha BSC from 2007 to 2019:" We have been warned, but we are also ready and will demand everything from Leverkusen. "
The Swiss double winner won the first leg 4: 3 after a 3-0 lead and an equalization in the meantime.
"I think it won't be as crazy a game as the first," said Bern coach Gerardo Seoane, whose team is considered to be strong attacking.
"If you play against each other twice in such a tight time frame, both sides will have learned their lessons."
Bern does not want to be in the back, even if a 0-0 would be enough.
"Of course it is our wish to play forward quickly in possession," said Seoane, who recently refused to comment on rumors of an alleged interest from Borussia Mönchengladbach.
Lustenberger meanwhile did not want to comment in detail on his ex-club from Berlin, which is only not on the Bundesliga relegation place because of the better goal difference.
"It's not the right time for it," he said: "What I can say is that I will keep my fingers crossed that you will achieve the turnaround."
