The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 international central defender experienced two difficult campaigns without winning a major honour, and is ready to fight for the forthcoming Bundesliga season with fierce rivals Borussia Dortmund.
Bayern Munich defender Holger Badstuber has expressed that Die Roten’s most important objective is to win the domestic league title after a barren spell of two years without winning the most coveted German trophy. Borussia Dortmund
have won the Bundesliga for two successive seasons.
The Allianz Arena outfit has been unable to bag a top trophy in the previous two seasons, but the Bavarian giants came out on top after beating the BVB club 2-1 in the DFL-Supercup clash on August 12.
The German stopper wants his side to carry their Supercup form in the league campaign to help them achieve some silverware. The youngster is convinced that the newly acquired players along with the Brazilian defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Dante-c10236 will
assist Der FCB in mounting a challenge for the title.
The 23-year-old claimed that the Bavarian side cannot be complacent again. He believes that the Bundesliga giants will have to build on their good run and not falter like they did last year.
"The Bundesliga is my top priority. We can't afford to slip up there again. Last year we had a very good spell, but it was too short," the Germany international was quoted saying in an interview.
The young prodigy insisted that the recent Supercup victory has given them a major boost ahead of the new campaign, psychologically.
"After two years without winning, [the Supercup] was a matter of prestige. Obviously it gave us a lot of confidence, but we don't want to place too much importance on it,” he mused.
The centre-back admitted that there is a strong competition for places now and it will have a positive effect on team performance.
"Competition for places is important at every club, but I'm looking forward to the new season positively. I have new aims and a desire to keep developing. If I can combine all of those things then I'll play," he concluded.
Die Bayern kickoff their league campaign with an away match at the Bundesliga new boys Greuther Furth on Saturday.
