The former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 international is looking forward to Wednesday’s crunch match against the Ukrainian club and is positive of getting a great result from the UEFA Champions League clash.
Borussia Dortmund defensive midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sebastian-Kehl-c32732 is confident that his side is prepared for the first leg of the Champions League round of 16 match against Ukrainian champions’ Shakhtar Donetsk. He claimed that they know what
to expect from their opposition on Wednesday.
The reigning German champions were in great run of form in the group stages of the competition, and their captain is hoping that they can maintain top form in midweek’s first leg in Donetsk. He stated that the Black Yellows have
enough details about their rival team, despite the extended winter break.
"In spite of their winter break, we have enough information on Shakhtar. We clearly understand what to expect," he added.
The talented player suggested that the home side will be supported by a huge crowd, but that will not bother them as they will be fully focused on getting a good result away from home. He has enjoyed little success in Europe’s
Premier cup competition and wants to win it this time around.
"They will be backed by a full stadium, but it will not bother us as we will be fully concentrated on the game," he mused.
The veteran further added that he does not have a lot of years in his career to win a trophy of this magnitude. Therefore, he is desperate to win the competition.
"I will not have many more opportunities to win something big, but we want to start doing so on Wednesday," he stated.
"It is always a pleasure to take part in European competitions, but you do not just need skill to win in the Champions League – it is a matter of experience,” he finally concluded.
Kehl said that it is a great honour to play in this tournament, and revealed you need experience and quality to do well in the competition. He conceded that he expects the BVB to get lucky this campaign and win a trophy of this
calibre.
