BERLIN (Reuters) - Hoffenheim coach Pellegrino Matarazzo's arrival in February has injected the team with much-needed energy which will be key in their battle to stay up, defender Ozan Kabak said on Wednesday.
The 23-year-old Turkey international said Hoffenheim, in 14th place on 29 points, had to bounce back instantly from last week's loss to Cologne with five games remaining.
They play Champions League hopefuls RB Leipzig on Saturday and also face Eintracht Frankfurt and third-placed Union Berlin in the coming weeks in the Bundesliga.
