High praise: Cisse has nothing but positive words to say about Ba
5. How different is Newcastle to other places you have lived?
Newcastle is interesting. I like all the bridges along the river.
The best thing is how friendly the people are. That's important to me.
6. You played in the Tyne-Wear derby. What is your experience of derbies?
Stuttgart, Munich and Hoffenheim were closest to Freiburg, so they were rivals, but nothing like Newcastle and Sunderland!
7. Had you been told about the importance of the game against Sunderland?
My team-mates drummed into me what it means to the club and supporters. It is the biggest game of the season.
8. Your strike partner Demba Ba has done very well at Newcastle. What are his main strengths?
He is strong, has pace, can shoot with both feet, is good in the air. He is great to have on your team.
