The Borussia Monchengladbach striker is eager to start his career in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 and is looking forward to the start of the new season.
The Foals have set their sights on a successful season as they signed some quality players in the summer transfer window. The side has acquired the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Luuk-de-Jong-c22956 to strengthen their squad and is ready to take on their counterparts when the season begins next month.
De Jong admitted that the quality of football in the Bundesliga is certainly better than the Eredivisie. He claimed that he will have to perform at Monchengladbach in the upcoming season to prove his worth and is confident that he can achieve the feat.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 international played down comparisons with Marco Reus and insisted that the now Borussia Dortmund man had a sensational season last term. He stressed that emulating the success of Reus at the Borussia Park will be difficult for him and he does not want to set any targets.
“Definitely. The level is not as high as in Germany. In the Bundesliga, every game is a top game. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marco-Reus-c23733 scored 18 [league] goals last season - that's a very good mark. But I am a striker and I want to score as well. A number is difficult to predict because it's my first season,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
On the other hand, the striker expressed his satisfaction on the club’s transfer activity this summer and is confident that the current lot of players can guide the club to success in the future. The attacker added that the club has a long-term plan and he is convinced that Gladbach have a great future ahead.
“I would be happy to give up the scorers title if it meant challenging at the top of the table. The club has made the right steps with its transfer. Maybe we can win the league in the next five years. I didn't sign until 2017 without having any long-term objectives,” he concluded.
Borussia Monchengladbach have to play the UEFA Champions League play-offs to qualify for the group stage.
