Schalke midfielder Julian Draxler all praise for Mario Gotze
Schalke 04 midfielder Julian Draxler has praised Mario Gotze and admitted that the latter is a role model for all the youngsters in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904. The player stated that he idolises the midfielder and tries to emulate him in all respects.
He added that he is surely looking forward to the match against Borussia Dortmund this week and wants the side to win in order to climb the standings.
Die Knappen will take on Borussia Dortmund on Saturday at the Signal Iduna Park and will be in search of their ninth victory of the season. They currently sit in fourth place with a total of 25 points from the 13 games played so
far and will be level on points with Bayern Munich in second place with the latter having played a game less.
Draxler claimed that he rates Mario Gotze as one of the best young players in Europe. He insisted that the Dortmund man is surely an inspiration for all the youngsters in Germany as he has become an important part of the German
national side at a very young age.
“Mario Gotze impresses me. We all want his path in the association and the national team, and I do too. What I can definitely rule is out a move to Borussia Dortmund!” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
Schalke manager Huub Stevens has admitted that his side is well prepared for the battle in Dortmund. He said that there has been talk that the opposition will be tired after the mid-week Champions League clash against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Arsenal-c38429 but
admitted that they have great depth in their squad and can tackle the problem.
“Whether it's a good or bad thing that BVB played in the Champions League will only become clear after the match. It's not a bad thing to build up some rhythm and Dortmund are such a fit bunch that they can cope with competing
on two fronts,” he concluded.
The German champions will host last year’s Champions League semi-finalists at the weekend in one of the most anticipated matches in the Bundesliga. Dortmund defeated Bayern Munich in their last league match whereas Schalke thrashed
