The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 international feels his team have a good chance to win the league honour this time, provided that they continue their great run of form against Hoffenheim over the weekend
Schalke star striker http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Klaas-Jan-Huntelaar-c21175 believes that the Bundesliga outfit has a great shot at winning the league following their amazing start to the current campaign. He is backing his side to catch Bayern Munich and even go
above them in the league table.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Royal-95-c40387 Blues trail Der FCB by four points in the Bundesliga rankings, and the former AC Milan attacker is looking forward to reduce the gap in this week’s matches. He said that the Allianz Arena side are the league leaders and
they are in second place.
However, the forward further added that if Die Roten lose to Hamburg in their away match, then the Miners will probably come close to them at the top of the table.
"Bayern are top, we're second. If Bayern lose this weekend, that will be great for us," the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/PSV-c40281 Eindhoven, Real Madrid and AC Milan forward was quoted as saying in an interview.
Moreover, general manager Horst Heldt has played down the talk that his side is only gunning for Die Bayern. He insisted that the Munich club is more worried about their rivalry with defending champions Borussia Dortmund. He also
blasted the tag hunter on his team.
"What bothers me is the word hunter. I think that Bayern are more concerned with other teams than with Schalke," the former Eintracht Frankfurt, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfB-Stuttgart-c40879 midfielder added.
"That's not my problem. I focus on my tasks in Gelsenkirchen and not in Munich. Things are going well for us. But we're not where we want to be," the former Hertha http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Berlin-c7536 and Hamburg coach finally concluded.
Team trainer Huub Stevens also agreed with Heldt, and said that he is only focused on his own side’s affairs. He claimed that he has nothing to do with it. He suggested that Schalke are doing well in the league and are aiming to
achieve the top spot. The Miners play Hoffenheim at the Rhein Neckar Stadion on Saturday.
