We will prepare ourselves as best as possible for our opponents and want to go 1-0 this week. The number 1 seed is what we want to secure.” so Chris Calaycaywho will of course also take a close look at the personnel situation. “We will make smart decisions about which recovered players will be included in the game again, when exactly and with what intensity. For some players, like Balogh, Edwards or Laalo, we look day-to-day. We have to plan ahead and factor in eventualities for the post-season.”
