"Want to play our football in Valencia too".

Lukas Mühl spoke to Sky...

...about what is expected of a coach: "You are just eyed by 30 players and every body language and every word is picked up. I've always been the one who can put myself in the coach's shoes. But at the end of the day, it's not about where you've played or how many championships you've won, it's about what the coach is saying to you and how he's getting it across. Does it just make sense or does it not make sense."

...on his appointment as captain: "I am one who says things as they are. I speak it very clearly. With that, I know you can't automatically be friends with everyone all the time, but I don't believe in the flat hierarchy and everyone saying something. Everyone should speak their mind, but there are 4 or 5 people in the troupe who clearly lead the way and the others follow behind. Of course there are differences of opinion and arguments, but for me that's part of it. I'm very clear about my opinion and I try to give every coach and every player direction. I also want to bring in a certain sharpness and tension so that we can move forward. I just want us to be successful."

...On the game against Villareal: "We want to play our football. We are not a team that strikes the ball forward, on the off chance, but we want to build our game from the back. We've done that really well in recent weeks. Against a team like that, you have to do a good job defensively. You have to be really compact defensively and work very well over 90 minutes and have the necessary bit of luck."

...about the upcoming derby: "Of course we're going to Hütteldorf and want to win the game. Everyone knows what a great game it is. It will be an incredible atmosphere and a great football game. We will play our football. Our way of defending is also going to be a tad more intense and aggressive."

...on a possible contract extension: "Vienna is an incredible city. The step from Nuremberg to Austria was extremely important for me. I was able to develop both athletically and in terms of my personality. Of course, I also got a different recognition here than in Germany. In Germany, I didn't get it the way I thought I would. Without wanting to be too arrogant here. But for example, I always knew I had good basic speed. People like Ante Rebic didn't run away from me. Then you know I'm fast. There was only one, and that was Kylian Mbappé, who somehow found eighth gear when I was still in third. That's a story where it was top for me at Austria. I was able to develop myself further. But we will sit down together in peace and quiet. But the signs are definitely positive and we'll see what comes out of it."
