The former Bayern Munich and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfL-Wolfsburg-c40881 midfielder feels that the Bavarian giants will be a strong contender for the UEFA Champions League this season, and has asked Borussia Dortmund to transform their game play for
Europe.
The 2001 UEFA Club 'Footballer of the Year' believes that Bayern Munich have all the ingredients to finally end their final hoodoo and win Europe’s Premier Cup competition in the new season. The FC Hollywood outfit have made it
to the finals twice in the last three years but were unable to lift the major trophy on both occasions.
The Allianz Arena club reached the finals of last year’s edition of Europe’s elite cup competition and were on the wrong end of things losing out on penalty kicks to http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chelsea-c38786, after dominating most of the game. The former Germany
attacker suggested that the club’s main ambition should be to win the Champions League this time around.
The 44-year-old claimed that the Bavarian side had a great opportunity to win the biggest club honour last year but failed to avail it, even though, they were the better side in the match. Therefore, Der FCB side should grab the
trophy and have their revenge of last term. He feels that Bayern should focus more on the Champions League.
"The Bayern players had the chance of a lifetime to win the Champions League, but let it pass. This time they will have to aim for the trophy. That has to be the only objective," Effenberg was quoted as saying in an interview.
Die Roten have been handed an easy group and will compete with Valencia, Lille and BATE Borisov in Europe. They are the favourites to top their group and are getting rave reviews from all over the world. The German based outfit
have earned massive respect with their strong performances and will be the team to beat this year.
"Bayern should stroll their group and are one of the favourites to go all the way. They are getting a lot of respect throughout Europe, and deservedly so," the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 international finally concluded.
Bayern take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863 in their first group match on Wednesday.
