FC St. Pauli coach Alexander Blessin has justified his club's air travel to upcoming DFB Cup opponents RB Leipzig. "We are not somehow a funfair team," said the 51-year-old ahead of the clash between the Bundesliga rivals in the second round of the competition on Tuesday (18:00/Sky). "That has nothing to do with double standards either," he added. "We are professionals and we think in every respect: How can we perform best and bring our performance to the pitch?"
The journey to the game in Dortmund almost two weeks ago had brought the Hamburgers criticism, according to media reports "If there is a possibility now, then we have always said that we will travel by bus or train. That is quite clear," said Blessin.
