Bochum’s main goal is to rise to the German elite and they know they have a real chance of achieving this goal. He is in the fight for the first places and has favoritism on this day. Losing points is something that does not cross his mind, especially because he is aware of the situation the home team is going through. Of course, you can’t stop respecting your opponent, but you can’t stop acting at any time.
