Fortuna Düsseldorf coach Daniel Thioune said his team remains calm ahead of the possible promotion to the Bundesliga. "The external euphoria is normal. But to our inner circle is relatively clear that the euphoria is misplaced and not a companion of ours," Thioune said in a news conference on Sunday. Düsseldorf host Bundesliga side VfL Bochum on Monday for the second leg of their promotion/relegation tie and have a 3-0 advantage from the first game. "Bochum will not play restrained football. We're prepared for that - we showed that in Bochum. Our players are able to adapt quickly," Thioune sai...

You can see that with Saarbrücken, who have made it to the semi-finals again." Xabi Alonso's Leverkusen are the only Bundesliga...
