Friday, January 30 2015 by SNTV
  • Intro:

    Matthias Sammer, Bayern Munich sporting director, and influential midfielder Xabi Alonso discuss the resumption of the Bundesliga season after the winter break with a trip to a trip to VfL Wolfsburg on Friday night - leaders Bayern hold an 11-point advantage over second-placed Wolfsburg, heading into the second half of the campaign.

    Script:

    SOUNDBITE (English): Xabi Alonso, FC Bayern Munich midfielder:

    "Yeah, I think everyone is missing the competition (Bundesliga) and, of course, we have been training for three weeks for the second part of the season. It's going to be a challenging one. And tomorrow we have a massive game for us against Wolfsburg, second versus first in the table. It's going to be tough but, hopefully, we have been training for that and we will be ready for tomorrow."

    SOUNDBITE (English): Xabi Alonso, FC Bayern Munich midfielder:

    "Well, because we have done well each game is a challenge for us because we know that we have to be on top of our game. We want to do things properly, That's why we are working here with the manager and all the team mates. And probably the second one is going to be more challenging because we know that the big games are coming here in the Bundesliga, in the Pokal (German Cup) and of course in the (UEFA) Champions League.

    SOUNDBITE (German): Matthias Sammer, sporting director (on opponents VfL Wolfsburg):

    "Quality, continuity, structure that's what you see within the Wolfsburg team, they occupy themselves with Andre Schurrle - they always want to improve the team and the way they have played besides transfers. But don't forget (Benjamin) Knoche and (Maximilan) Arnold who have come through their youth development scheme. They have a really good mixture and tomorrow we expect a top opponent, who has taken a fantastic development recently, and we want to defeat them.
