The Schalke striker is delighted with his own performance in the Bundesliga game against Werder Bremen and has also hailed http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Raul-c30652 for scoring a hat-trick.
Huntelaar was talking in the wake of his team’s 5-0 drubbing of Werder Bremen at the Veltins-Arena on Saturday, December 17.
Raul scored a hat-trick for the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Royal-95-c40387 Blues, who have now become serious title contenders alongside Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund. Kyriakos Papadopoulos and Huntelaar scored the other two goals for the home side.
Raul opened the scoring for the hosts in the 16th minute and doubled their advantage just four minutes later. The next three goals came within a space of seven minutes as the River Islanders were battered in-front of
a capacity crowd.
The striker believes that the Veltins-Arena outfit has a reasonable chance of winning the league this season but he has demanded consistency from his teammates.
The Dutchman admitted that his side started the match as favourites, but no one was expecting a one-sided affair. The striker expressed his pleasure after winning by a huge margin, but he wanted to score more than one goal to overtake
Bayern Munich’s Mario Gomez as the season’s leading goal scorer so far.
While talking to the official Bundesliga website, the 28-year-old elaborated:
“We didn't just play very well, but also very offensively. We put them under a lot of pressure and didn't allow Bremen into the game. We created some good chances and scored a few, so it wasn't only a good game for the fans, but
also for us. It was a good goal, but I wanted to score more. Unfortunately I didn't get a second as I was offside, but I did provide two assists.”
“I could have taken a shot for the second goal, but I saw Raul out of the corner of my eye. It was good that I wasn't wearing my protective mask anymore, as it allowed me to see him and play the pass.” He concluded.
