at Wembley.
While talking to UEFA.com the 21-year-old German further added:
“This was not the result we were looking for but it is not too bad.
We'll give it everything we've got at home and try to produce fireworks. Twente are a strong team, but I think we are better and I'm confident we can beat them at home by more than 1-0.”
On the other hand, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Chinedu-Obasi-c8927 also voiced his concern after the lost to the Dutch side. He applauded the opponent’s effort on the night and is confident that his team will make a strong comeback in the return leg. He is insisted
that the Royal Blues will emerge as a brutal force at home when Twente visit them next week.
“Our team played very well, but we just have to keep our heads up and work hard. Twente are a very good team, they played good football, but I think it will be different at home. Our fans have always been fantastic – it was a good
feeling after the game the way they were singing, it makes you want to give more,” Obasi concluded.
Schalke will next be in action against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/FC-Twente-c39233 for the second-leg on Thursday, March 15.
