The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 national side skipper feels that the Bavarian outfit will be boosted from the fact that it will remain at the top of the league table going into the winter break
Bayern Munich star defender http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Philipp-Lahm-c29929 expressed that leading the Bundesliga rankings will benefit his team members as they will be motivated in their hunt for glory. The Bavarian giants have not won a major trophy in the last
two years and will be looking forward to overhaul rivals Borussia Dortmund to the league title.
Der FCB beat http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/SC-Freiburg-c40462 2-0 on Wednesday in an away game and have extended their lead to 11 points from the defending champions. Moreover, they are 10 points clear of second-placed Bayer Leverkusen. Leverkusen are also in good
form as they beat Werder Bremen 4-1in their last league outing.
Die Roten’s latest win guarantees them a top spot until after the winter break as Herbstmeister as they look forward to secure three points against the BVB. The team captain claimed that being on the top until the mid-season is
very crucial and it will help them later on when they will struggle for form.
"Spending the winter break on top is actually very, very important," he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The Germany left-back stated that there are a few games left before the winter break and Bayern will want to increase their lead at the top. Furthermore, Die Roten eye a top spot in their UEFA Champions League group ahead of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Valencia-c40863
and also want to qualify for the next round of the DFB-Pokal.
"We still have a couple of games and targets before the mid-season break: we want to extend our advantage in the Bundesliga, finish top of our Champions League group, and make the next round of the cup," he mused.
"As it was, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-Neuer-c23424 had to make a magnificent save with the score still 1-0. For all that, we did well for long spells, and apart from a couple of chances at the end, we didn't concede much defensively," he stated.
Interestingly, Bayern have enjoyed 10 clean sheets in the campaign so far.
