The former Bayern Munich goalkeeper suggests that the Der FCB side are more desperate than the Borussians to win the league title, and discusses the role of Gomez and Schweinsteiger.
Former Germany international custodian http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Oliver-c28477 Kahn has revealed that there is added burden on the FC Hollywood outfit to win the national title compared to the German double winning team. He suggested that Die Roten are always
expected to win as they are the most successful club in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904.
The Black Yellows have won successive league titles in the last two campaigns, but the veteran goalie believes that Dortmund are not more hungrier for the Bundesliga than their rivals, as they are less ambitious of the two teams.
Therefore, he claimed that no one will blame the BVB if they concede their league title to Die Bayern this season.
“No-one demands that Dortmund be the champions again. What do they have to lose?” Kahn mused.
The eight-time Bundesliga champion further added that it is not a must for Westfalenstadion outfit to be crowned the Champions of German top flight again this term, unlike their fierce rivals Bayern, who have a tradition of winning.
“The larger pressure lies elsewhere. At Dortmund you can be the champion. But at Bayern you have to be the champion. That is a huge difference,” he stated.
The 2001 UEFA Champions League winner also backed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bastian-Schweinsteiger-c7374 to regain his form and put all his efforts to help Bayern win silverware.
“Right now he [Schweinsteiger] is at a crossroads. He must transfer all of the doubt into positive energy. That means a lot of hard work. But if you do that, you will usually be rewarded,” he added.
Kahn also supported the much criticised striker Mario Gomez and said that he is a great goal poacher currently, but admitted that there is still room for improvement for the attacker.
“Mario is one of the best penalty-area forwards in Europe at the moment. Having said that, there is some scope for improvement,” he concluded.
Gomez is suffering from an injury and will return to the first team in a few weeks time to lead the Bayern attack.
