The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Royal-95-c40387 Blues’ performance in their UEFA Champions League game, as they came back from 2-0 down against the English Premier League club Arsenal.
Schalke star player http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lewis-Holtby-c22175 expressed his happiness over Schalke’s 2-2 draw against Arsenal, after going down 2-0 in the first-half at the Veltins-Arena. The Gunners were hoping to get their revenge following their 2-0 defeat
at the Emirates Stadium.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Klaas-Jan-Huntelaar-c21175 had other plans as he pulled a goal back at the stroke
of half-time
Therefore, a comeback seemed possible and Jefferson Farfan equalised with the help of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Thomas-Vermaelen-c35002 to make the final score 2-2. Playmaker Holtby was happy with the result, despite being linked with the North
London outfit.
The Bundesliga outfit retain their top spot in Group B after the match in Gelsenkirchen, and the midfielder feels that his side is in high-spirits after getting two good results against English opposition. The young prodigy claimed
after looking back at the match, the team was delighted to get at least a point.
"At the end, we were a little bit relieved, but if you look at the whole 90 minutes, and especially the first 20 minutes, I think we had an astonishing game,” he added.
"We were 2-0 down, and got back to 2-2. Klaas-Jan Huntelaar had a chance in the second half, but I think 2-2 is alright. We showed our character to come back from 2-0 down,” he mused.
"Our team spirit is high, and we knew that if we got a goal before half-time, we had a chance. It was a really good goal by Klaas,” he finally concluded.
Holtby stated that the Miners showed their mental strength to mastermind an impressive comeback. He also complimented Huntelaar who opened the scoring for the home side. Moreover, Roman Neustadter believes Schalke deserved more
than a draw from their Champions League outing.
Roman added that they dominated the play and should not have conceded the two goals. He is confident that Schalke will progress to the next round.
