- Niko, we feel that you are in top form...
"Yes, I am in the best shape. We trained like crazy. We are ready, we wish ourselves too much to win this title."
- What has this cup so special?
"First of all, it represents a title. And every title must be won. It is surely not the most important title, in my opinion to be German Champion is the most beautiful, but this Final Four is so good organised that every participant has the desire to outgrow to win it."
- So, today in the Color Line Arena will be hot?
"Oh, yes. And because Hamburg will open the competition against Gummersbach, the hall will be white-hot. I can’t wait to be there."
