Sporting director Rouven Schröder reacted to the draw: “Hoffenheim have started the season very well and have a lot of quality in their squad. It will be a big challenge, especially because it will be our second game against them in just a few days. We’ll throw everything at them to get points against them in the league, and get past them into the next round of the cup.”
