Bastian Schweinsteiger confident of victory over Borussia Dortmund - Bundesliga News
Bayern Munich’s injured midfielder, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bastian-Schweinsteiger-c7374, has insisted that the Reds would easily overcome Borussia Dortmund at the weekend. He also lamented his absence for the game due to a collar-bone fracture which will keep him out of action until
January 2012.
The midfielder was talking on the eve of a high-profile encounter between Bayern Munich and the reigning champions, Borussia Dortmund. Both teams are placed neck-to-neck on the standings and a win for either side at the weekend would certainly prove to be
fruitful.
Bayern are set to host the Borussians on Saturday, November 19, at Allianz-Arena, and have a strong squad available with the exception of Schweinsteiger, who got injured in a Champions League game against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Napoli-c40003.
Dortmund, on the other hand, have no major injury worries and are expected to go all out against the current leaders. The Black Yellows manager, Jurgen Klopp, expressed confidence in his team’s abilities ahead of the game and wished to repeat last year’s
feat, when his side defeated Bayern 3-1 at home.
Bayern manager, Jupp Heynckes, was all pumped up ahead of the clash and was confident of beating their title rivals this time around. He told that the Reds are in much better shape this term and it would require some getting to surpass them at their own
back yard.
He also bemoaned the absence of Schweinsteiger and hoped to see him back in training at the earliest. At the same time, he confirmed of Robben’s fitness but was unsure whether to play him on Saturday or hold him back for at least one more game.
Schweinsteiger also expressed disappointment at having to miss the crucial encounter but urged his teammates to stay focussed for the important tie.
"We didn't have our best day back then, but neither did we have any real preparation time because we'd played in Milan during the week. But a lot has changed since then. We've got a lot more quality, we're far more compact than we were last season and our
attackers are working hard to defend." The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 star concluded.
