The Werder Bremen defender believes that the German Bundesliga is one of the best leagues around, quicker than other competitions.
Francois Affolter hailed Bundesliga as one of the best leagues in Europe. He stated that the players in Germany are better equipped, and the pace of the game is a lot quicker than it is in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749. Affolter was talking
in the wake of his Bundesliga debut for Werder Bremen against Bayer Leverkusen.
Bremen and Leverkusen locked horns on Saturday, January 28, at the Weserstadion with the match ending all square at 1-1. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Stefan-Reinartz-c34020 scored goals for their respective sides to help their teams to a point
each.
When asked if the Bundesliga is different in comparison to other leagues, the 20-year-old sweeper further added:
“Yes, the differences are huge. In the Bundesliga everything is much quicker and better organised than in the Swiss league. The players are excellent, both technically and tactically. They don't hold on to the ball for very long
here, but pass it on as quickly as possible.”
Affolter has signed for the German club on a six-month loan from BSC Young Boys in order to help the River Islanders finish in the top four, and qualify for a place in the UEFA Champions League next year.
The youngster confirmed that it will not take him long to settle down in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 as he can cope with the pressure of playing in a big league. He stated that he has settled well thus far in Bremen and is looking forward to proving
his worth.
“I've been a professional for three years now and have learnt how to deal with pressure. Of course I was a bit nervous before kick-off, it was my first game after all. But that all disappeared as soon as the match started because
I was concentrating on the task at hand and soon got into the swing of things,” Affolter concluded.
The sweeper spent three years with Swiss outfit, Young Boys, and notched up 90 league appearances, bagging one goal in the process before agreeing to a loan deal with the River Islanders.
