Farke said: "Quite often I decide spontaneous. When we prepare, we are addicted to prepare in different ways. I have to calm myself not to overload them. In the preparation it's important to be analytical and work on tactical terms. In the minutes before the game, it's more like remind of key topics, the basics of football. That we are competitive, confident, win our duels.

"I quite often decide spontaneous of what the last message is. The last words are often a bit more emotional than more tactics.

"Play-off final is always special because it's a do-or-die game, you can't repair mistakes. You can repair over 46 games with some other good results. Cup games you have to be spot on, the focus is pretty special and the concentration level is very high.

"You have to make sure the players are not over-motivated or excited. I quite like we've had time to prepare and to work with the players because even during the season we were at our best when we had time to work on habits, contents and principles. Only negative is the opposition manager has had time to prepare as well."
