What a start for Markus Rosenberg! In the first game of the 2008/2009 Bundesliga season, the Swede hit the target twice to confirm the form he had begun to show in previous games. The only negative aspect is that the striker’s goals didn’t prove enough to bag all three points on the first match day of the season, but that will do little to dampen the Swedes confidence: “That was a great start for me. We had a long period of preparation with a lot of friendly games, which went well for me, but now it’s really up and running and I’m in the goals. That is a really good feeling.”
In particular the second goal he scored gave the Swede an added boost: “At that moment I saw that Torsten Frings had overtaken me but he was covered by his marker so I just decided to let fly.”
Klaus Allofs was also impressed by Rosenberg’s performance at the SchücoArena: “Markus showed signs of what he is capable of in pre-season. He is definitely right at the front in the pecking order but that is something that can change from week to week. Now we are going to have more competition for places up front and in my experience that is something that is always good for the team,” explained the former striker.
From next week Claudio Pizarro will also be looking to win a regular place but Rosenberg is not only focusing on the expectations on the new man: “When I first came to Werder, Miro Klose was the clear number one but that’s a thing of the past. Back then we got on well together and that will also be the case when Claudio Pizarro gets here.” In particular if he meets the expectations that his new team mates have from him.
