The Schalke striker has insisted that his side have acquired two very good players and is confident that the duo will shine next season.
Die Knappen had an impressive season last term as they finished in third place behind the likes of Borussia Dortmund and Bayern Munich. The side accumulated 64 points from the 34 games played and qualified for a place in the UEFA
Champions League next season.
The club has been in the transfer market this season and have already acquired the likes of Roman Neustadter and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Tranquillo-Barnetta-c35516, both on free transfers. The midfielders spent the last season with Borussia Monchengladbach and
Bayer Leverkusen respectively and will be fighting for a place in the starting line-up when the season begins.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Klaas-Jan-Huntelaar-c21175 has showered praise on the duo and is certain the players will put a great impact when the season begins next month. He added that two midfielders have immense creativity and stressed that the competition for
places in midfield shows the quality the squad has.
The former Real Madrid and AC Milan striker is convinced that the new additions will only add to the quality of the side and is targeting a breakthrough season next term.
“Both are very good players. Roman proved during last season that he's a great team player. Along with the entire Gladbach team he put in an incredible performance. Tranquillo didn't play as much in the most recent campaign, but
Bayer Leverkusen have always had a strong squad who like to push forward. I've always said I want to play with the best,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
On the other hand, the attacker expressed his delight on committing his future at the club and admitted that it was not a difficult decision for him. He is looking forward to the upcoming campaign and wants to emulate his form
from last season.
“We conducted some preliminary talks before EURO 2012. From my perspective the Bundesliga season can't start soon enough,” he concluded.
Klaas-Jan Huntelaar scored a staggering 29 league goals last term to secure the Golden Boot, beating the likes of Mario Gomez and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Robert-Lewandowski-c31255 for the award.
