Borussia Dortmund’s http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lucas-Barrios-c22533 aiming to be the top goalscorer this season - Bundesliga news
Borussia Dortmund striker Lucas Barrios wishes to be the top goalscorer this season in the Bundesliga. The Paraguayan international is yet to take to the field this season but is still aiming to win the award. He will have to face stiff competition from
Bayern Munich’s Mario Gomez, who won it last time around.
Barrios scored 16 league goals for his side during the 2010/11 competition. The striker has been on the sidelines since then but is gradually recovering from injury.
The Argentina-born player told that he is not far from making a comeback into Jurgen Klopp’s side. The striker credited the club’s medical staff for his speedy recovery. He further wished to get fit prior to Dortmund’s Champions League game in September.
Barrios seemed pleased at his side’s decent start to this year’s campaign and was confident of retaining the Bundesliga crown the team had won last time around.
The player at the same time was all praise for his young teammate Mario Gotze. He tipped him to be one of the contenders for Golden Boot this season and expressed delight at the player’s progress at the club. He hoped that Gotze could maintain the same levels
of concentration and form in the coming years. The teenager has been pronounced unfit for the club’s next league game against Bayer Leverkusen at BayArena on Saturday, August 27.
While talking to the club’s website, Barrios added, "Of course I would love a season in which I win the top goalscorer's award. That would be a dream. What is important is that I make the difference in this team. I have not set a specific target (of goals),
but I will work hard. I would like to get back as quickly as possible, but I hope to be back training with the team after the international break at the start of September. It should not take long then for me to be back in top form."
Barrios has 35 league goals under his belt for the Borussians from 65 games so far. He earned his http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Paraguay-c2979 debut in 2010 and has six goals from 18 international caps until now.
