Torsten Frings talked of a tough task. "Of course this is one of the toughest opponents we could have been drawn. But we want to continue our cup tradition in Munich and also beat Bayern," said the Bremen captain. Sebastian Prödl agreed with Frings and added: "This is a nice showdown. We are looking forward to it. We have to beat everybody to win the cup anyhow. Besides we owe them." And midfielder Tim Borowski added: "Games against FC Bayern are always thrilling duels. And it will be a very interesting game this time as well."
