Mittelstadt challenges Atalanta: “Happy to see my friend Samardzic again, but at home we want to win”

Maximilian Mittelstadtdefender of Stuttgart who will face Atalanta tomorrow evening in the 4th day of the Champions League, spoke to Sky Sports on the eve of the match: “We are very prepared to face this Atalanta, we saw them in the last victory against Napoli and let’s not forget that last year they were the only ones to win at Bayer Leverkusen. However, we will play at our home and We will also be ready for this.”

After difficult years, today Stuttgart has returned to very high levels also thanks to the work of coach Sebastian Hoeness.
“The coach is very important for us, he changed the way we play. And personally I can say that thanks to him I arrived in the national team.”

Samardzic plays for Atalanta, a player who grew up in Berlin just like her…
“He’s a friend, we played together at Hertha Berlin. But on the pitch we won’t be friends anymore, I’m still very happy to meet him again tomorrow evening.”
