Schalke manager http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ralf-c30492 Rangnick wants to continue the brilliant winning streak- Bundesliga news
Schalke 04 manager Ralf Rangnick has stated that he is confident that his side will continue with the winning streak against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfL-Wolfsburg-c40881 this weekend. He claimed that Die Knappen have started the season brilliantly and are surely
the favourites to win against the struggling Wolves.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Royal-95-c40387 Blues currently sit in sixth place with nine points and have won three of the four games played so far in the Bundesliga this season. They will now face former manager Felix Magath’s side at the Volkswagen Arena on Sunday
to make it four out of a total of five played.
Rangnick claimed that the club wants to extend its winning run against Wolfsburg and remained confident that it is possible considering the form of the players. He admitted that it has been a good start to the season and is hopeful
that the club can challenge for trophies this year,
“We want to try and extend our winning run there [against Wolfsburg] and thus put ourselves in a good position for the matches to come,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The former Hoffenheim manager hinted that the club will field the same side in the clash despite many players returning from international duty. He claimed that it is a very important fixture for the club and a difficult one as
the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Wolves-c40952 can be great when playing at home.
“After the international break it's obviously too early to say who'll be playing where, though the final make-up of our team has no affect on our preparations because we aren't likely to make any changes to our basic formation,”
he continued.
The manager also admitted that new signing Teemu Pukki could make his debut in the next fixture despite suffering a minor injury while on international duty with http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Finland-c2898.
“He came out of the international against Holland with some slight bruising on his thigh, but he's assured me it's not causing him any problems and he's able to train as normal,” he continued.
Schalke next play Steaua Bucharest in the UEFA Europa League on Thursday.
