Schalke duo Julian Draxler and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lewis-Holtby-c22175 are keen on defeating their main rivals Borussia Dortmund, even though the season has not yet started. They think it is high time to beat the DFB-Pokal winners and end their dominance
in the German football, and claim the top prize for the Veltins-Arena outfit.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Royal-95-c40387 Blues team have been mediocre in their clashes with the BVB. They have not registered even one victory on three different occasions last year over the Bundesliga Champions of the last two years. Schalke pair wants to
stop Dortmund in achieving a hat trick of titles in the German League.
Die Konigsblauen will be without their experienced striker Raul and will miss his goal scoring exploits at the front. Furthermore, the rumours surrounding Klaas Jan-Huntelaar’s future are also unsettling the Gelsenkirchen club.
Huntelaar was the league’s top scorer last term and will be a huge loss, if he decides to leave the team.
Draxler and Holtby are convinced that even without the services of Raul; they can become champions of Germany. Holtby conceded that they are in a better position compared to last season because the club is very susceptible now
and cannot be easily read. The midfielder claims that a win against their arch-rivals is a must now.
"Our advantage now is that we are more flexible and less predictable, it is time for a derby victory," Holtby was quoted as saying in an interview.
The attacker’s club mate and fellow Germany youth international Draxler was also very positive ahead of the coming season. The 18-year-old believed that they have the means to win a championship and if they perform consistently,
it will bear fruition.
"We have enough quality, we must not to hide from the major players and teams and be smarter this season," Draxler finally concluded.
Schalke finished in third position last term and will be eyeing to improve their league standing. The Miners start their season with an away match against Hannover on August 26.
