While talking to soccerway.com, the former Bayern Munich attacker further added:
"It is our turn. We lost the Euro 2008 final against Spain. Then they beat us in the semi-final (of the World Cup) in 2010. So I think 2012 it is about time. We are ready. If you consider how we played throughout the qualification
everything is set for the title. We will give our best to reach the final."
