Berlin (dpa) - Leverkusen's coach Bosz wants to end a series, Hertha coach Pal Dardai want to continue one.
In Wolfsburg, the focus is on a Dutchman, at SC Freiburg a Frenchman wants to imitate his compatriot Franck Ribéry.
And with Bayern?
Joshua Kimmich doesn't want to disappoint Lothar Matthäus' prophecies: six games, six heads to watch out for in the Saturday Bundesliga games.
PETER BOSZ: Actually, Peter Bosz should already have a backache from all the backing over the past few weeks.
They really want to continue with the Bayer Leverkusen coach because they are fundamentally convinced of him and his path.
Sports director Rudi Völler described the fact that the game in Gladbach was a final for the Dutchman as “nonsense”.
Between the lines, however, the bosses always explain that, of course, Bosz also has to be measured by results.
And he should start with that as soon as possible after being out of both cup competitions and slipping to sixth place.

WOUT WEGHORST: TSG 1899 Hoffenheim is the Wolfsburg striker's favorite opponent.
In the last two away games alone, Weghorst scored five goals against TSG.
But things are not going so well for the Dutchman at the moment.
He has been goalless for four competitive games and missed a penalty at the cup in Leipzig.
Nevertheless, his coach Oliver Glasner said before the Hoffenheim game: “I have zero point zero doubts about his quality as a goal getter.
If you write an A in every job at school and then a three happens to you in between, then you will still remain a A student. "
JONATHAN SCHMID: The Frenchman of SC Freiburg is facing his 273rd Bundesliga game and thus a very special brand.
Because with an appearance on Saturday, the flank player would catch up with former Bayern professional Franck Ribéry as the French record player in Bundesliga history.
The now 37-year-old Ribéry came to this number between 2007 and 2019 with the Munich team.
Schmid has been playing in the German upper house since 2011 and during this time also wore the jerseys of TSG 1899 Hoffenheim and FC Augsburg.
GREGOR KOBEL: The Stuttgart goalkeeper is currently in top form.
Now he should help to stop Frankfurt's striker André Silva.
«Gregor is an extremely ambitious athlete.
Physically he is extremely far in terms of strength and speed.
He's already a monster in goal, ”said VfB coach Pellegrino Matarazzo about the Swiss.
The 23-year-old is becoming "more and more authentic, always finds his essence and has more self-confidence in everything he does," said Matarazzo.
"I'm glad he's on the team."
Kobel's contract with VfB runs until the summer of 2024. With his recent appearances, he is likely to have aroused covetousness.

PAL DARDAI: The white vest should be a good omen for Pal Dardai.
For the tenth time, the Hungarian competes as Hertha BSC's head coach against FC Augsburg, and has never lost.
On February 28, 2015 he won his first home win with a 1-0 win against Augsburg in his first term of office, followed by six more games without defeat and finally relegation.
But Dardai does not want to dwell on the past, in the current edition of the duel, a three-point is almost mandatory for the relegation-threatened Berliners after nine games without a win.
His 157th game as a coach in the Bundesliga takes a back seat.
In the club rankings, he is level two with his former discoverer Jürgen Röber.
Hertha record coach in the Bundesliga is Helmut Kronsbein.
JOSHUA KIMMICH: In the groundbreaking 1-0 in May 2020, national player Joshua Kimmich made the preliminary decision in the title fight with his remarkable lifter.
Kimmich was also in the spotlight at 3-2 in November when he was injured and Bayern were absent for weeks.
“For me it was primarily important not to come back as quickly as possible, but as strong as before.
My body shouldn't have any construction site or weak point afterwards.
And I've managed to do that quite well so far, ”said the 26-year-old this week.
If you believe the former world footballer Lothar Matthäus, the Munich midfield star will "go down in the history books - not only in that of FC Bayern, but in that of all of German football".
On Saturday, Kimmich first wants the next win against BVB.
