Bernard speaks to the press

Reporter - You refused to speak to the media last month why was that?
Bernard - No reason. Can we stick to footballing matters please.

Reporter - Yes sorry. Your team has just claimed top spot in the league can you now go on and make that spot your own?
Bernard - I feel we can, the players are enjoying there football and they have been on top form this season. All credit goes to the boys.

Reporter - Your team lost there first match earlier this month did you struggle to keep morale up?
Bernard - No not at all. As I said after the match one loss wont destroy a successful team.

Reporter - So far who would you say has been your best player this season?
Bernard - That's a hard one the whole team has been great but Kevin Volland and Djordje Rakic have been amazing in attack for us this season.

Reporter - So would you like to get Volland on a permanent deal as he is only on loan from parent club Hoffenheim?
Bernard - I would love to but he loves Hoffenheim so we would have to wait and see. Thank you that's all I have time for.

Bernard - Yes the deals were done and under wraps before today.

Reporter - You sold two players were they really never going to play?

Reporter - You brought in three Rangers players. Whay all from one club?
Bernard - I am from Scotland and I have seen the players play countless times and I feel they can bring something different to the squad.

Reporter - You paid £600,000 for Hamdi Salihi is that not a risk paying that much for one player?
Bernard - I expect all my players to play to the same standard if they were free or worth millions so no his price tag is irrelevant I bought him for his talent.

Bernard speaks to press

Reporter - So a difficult month February was for you do you feel that the team has turned a corner in there last game?
Bernard - It was a poor start after the break but the win against Frankfurt has propelled us back to the top of the table and the players look more confident.

Reporter - What caused the poor sequence of results because before the break your team looked unstoppable?
Bernard - To be honest I don't know we came back confident but we fell apart for the first few games.

Reporter - But you feel you have definitely turned a corner and the win wasn't just luck?
Bernard - You don't beat the team at the top 3-1 because of luck so no.

Reporter - You play third placed Furth next a win in that game will make the gap between automatic promotion and the play off even bigger for your team, how do you settle the players for a game like that?
Bernard - I feel last weeks game where we would go top or six behind was a bigger game and we came through that so it wont be a problem.

Reporter - Lastly can you win promotion this season?
Bernard - Yes of course we can if we play to the standard that I know we can manage.

Second met third in today's main league clash and the game was a bore draw. Both teams looked like they sat back and defended while neither one was willing to commit too much going forward in fear of losing the game. The good news for the two sides is that Frankfurt lost meaning 1860 stay top and Furth close the gap a little more.

1860 Munich saw off Cottbus today as they looked much more assertive in front of goal with a confident 3-1 win at the the Alliance Arena. The gap from the front two down to third is now nine points and if that gaps gets any bigger it could very well be a two horse race between 1860 and Frankfurt for the title.
