Hello Christoph, after your great victory over Inter Milan Schalke next face Werder Bremen. Looking at it as Schalke being among the top four teams in Europe and Werder still fighting off relegation, it should be a clear matter, no?
Not at all. We only have five points more than Bremen, who will do everything they can to win their home match against us. After all, they still need a victory or two to definitely avoid relegation. Therefore I expect some tough work against a very motivated Werder side.
Schalke won the first match-up this season 4-0 as you made it 1-0 with your only Bundesliga goal for Schalke. Does that give you an extra motivation for Saturday?
Of course it's always nice to score a goal and win in the end. Certainly I wouldn't have anything against it if it went that way again. But we would need a similar performance like the one on Wednesday against Inter Milan.
