The Schalke manager is aiming title triumph after the impressive victory over http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/VfB-Stuttgart-c40879 at home this weekend.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Royal-95-c40387 Blues continued with their impressive from this season by securing another win against Die Roten in the Bundesliga on Saturday. It was the side’s 12th victory of the season which has put them level on points with Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund.
Stevens was elated with the win and is delighted that Schalke are on par with the likes of Bayern Munich and reigning champions, Borussia Dortmund. He insisted that the team is on the right track and truly deserve where they are on the standings table.
However, he refused to comment on the club’s title chances at the end of the season and is concerned with the consistency. He admitted that there will be games when Schalke will drop points and it could cost them a place in the future.
“All I know right now is that we have as many points as Bayern Munich and dreams are sweet. I was surprised at how well we started the game and how quickly we went 1-0 up. We are realistic. We know that we will lose games again,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
Meanwhile, Stuttgart manager http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Bruno-c8098 Labbadia was disappointed by the way his team played in the match at Veltins-Arena. He stated that the defending was poor throughout the course of 90 minutes and admitted that the team created no chances whatsoever to score.
The tactician added that it is always difficult to comeback after conceding an early goal like they did against Die Knappen and is looking forward to redeem things in the next match against Borussia Monchengladbach.
“It is a shame because we had high hopes. We lost the game on set-pieces. We may have controlled things after the early goal, but we did not push forwards enough and then we conceded the second, from another set piece. Then, the game was lost,” he concluded.
Schalke face a stern test against FC Koln in their next Bundesliga fixture away from home. They will be looking to win the game in order to keep up the pressure at the top.
