Klinsmann: We Can Still Be Winter Champions
Bayern Munich coach Jürgen Klinsmann remains convinced that his club can meet their target of reaching the halfway point of the season as league leaders despite the dissapointing draw to Borussia Mönchengladbach last weekend.
The defending champions took a 2-0 lead at the Borussia Park against traditional foes Borussia Mönchengladbach with goals from Luca Toni and Franck Ribéry, only for the home side to fight back to gain a 2-2 draw. Rob Friend and Michael Bradley levelled the score in the space of 120 seconds with just ten minutes remaining, meaning that Bayern remained rooted in third, three points off joint leaders Leverkusen and Hoffenheim.
"I still believe we're heading in the right direction," Klinsmann told the club's official website. "We're aiming to make good a few more points before Christmas, and set the seal on our Champions League campaign.
" I can still well imagine we'll be top of the league by the halfway point.We did not want to fall any further behind the league leaders, but unfortunately we have not been able to do that," he added.
"We now have got to correct that."
Bayern will be supremely confident of getting back on track with a win at home to last-placed Energie Cottbus, though they are likely to be without their star defender Lucio. The Brazilian strained a muscle in his back during the draw at Gladbach and was forced to pull out of his country's friendly against Portugal as a result.
Andrei Arshavin: 'A Dream' To Play For Bayern
The Andrei Arshavin transfer saga has taken another twist today with the Russian's admission that playing for German champions Bayern Munich would be a 'dream'....
Zenit St Petersburg forward Andrei Arshavin is destined to leave his home-town club in the January transfer window after declaring that he would never again wear the sine-belo-golubye shirt.
Spanish giants Real Madrid target="_blank" and Barcelona have both reportedly lodged an interest in the schemer, while the 27-year-old still has admirers in the English Premier League.
To this point however, Zenit's asking price, which has been set at close to €30 million, has detracted potential bidders.
Now, Arshavin has dropped a bombshell by revealing that it would be a 'dream' if he had the opportunity to represent Bayern Munich.
His Zenit skipper, Anatoliy Tymoschuk, has also been linked with a move to the Allianz Arena as the German champions set about a winter rebuild.
Arshavin was quoted as saying in Bild: “I don’t want to play for Zenit any more. Playing for Bayern is a dream.”
The player's agent Dennis Lachter has attempted to stave off interest in Arshavin's future by insisting that no transfer talk will be entertained until the completion of the Champions League group phase.
He told the press: “No decision will be taken before Zenit St Petersburg play against Real Madrid on December 10.”
