Kerem Demirbay insists Hoffenheim will be inspired rather than intimidated by the Anfield atmosphere.

The Bundesliga outfit trail 2-1 from the first leg of the Champions League play-off, but the midfielder believes they are capable of overturning that deficit on Wednesday night.

“We definitely play the better football. We’ll see in the end whether it will be enough,” he told Bild.

“You have to say honestly that this is a good team but we’re a good team too. We’re not Liverpool but we can go there with our chests out and play completely freely.

“We’re good enough to survive there and score at least two goals. There’s no atmosphere like there is at Anfield.

“I’m definitely not intimidated. On the contrary, I find it amazing when there’s such a feeling in a stadium. It’s absolutely inspiring.

“We want to win the game but it’s an extra attraction to write our own success story. It’s a great time to write history.”

Striker Mark Uth, who came off the bench to pull one back in the first leg, says Julian Nagelsmann’s side will head to Anfield full of confidence after winning Werder Bremen in their Bundesliga opener on Saturday.

“We desperately wanted to start the season with three points and we go into the match at Antfield with a good feeling,” he said.

“We want to show Liverpool what we’re capable of. I think they will play a much more aggressive game than last week. They will want to get an early goal to try and break our belief, but of course we will be trying our hardest to score the first goal as well.

“I’m seriously excited about playing there – it will be my first time. Everyone knows Anfield and wants to play against Liverpool. This is our chance to do that. I’m not nervous, I will cherish the opportunity.”
