Müller Expecting Interesting Final Day

Schalke General manager Andreas Müller is looking forward to the final weekend of the Bundesliga season and pipping Werder Bremen to the runners up spot this season. Whatever happens, he is expecting a very interesting weekend.

The Königsblauen trail Werder by two points but can still finish second if they beat Nürnberg and Thomas Schaaf’s side come unstuck against Bayer Leverkusen.

A loss for Nürnberg would see them relegated so ‘der Klub’ have plenty to play for, as do Bayer Leverkusen, who are still in the hunt for a Uefa Cup spot.

“Every club has had enough time this season to get the points they need” Müller said. “We're two points short as well - or actually three, if you look at the goal difference.”

Schalke narrowly beat Eintracht Frankfurt at the weekend in what was far from a vintage performance, but manager Müller isn’t overly bothered.

“When I look at the game I find myself wishing we had had more games like that this season. We didn't play well, but we got the right result. Importantly, we retained our chance of leapfrogging Bremen into second.

“We now need to win in Nürnberg and hope that Bremen slip up. It's going to be a very interesting final day” he mused.

“We have to win our game and everything else will sort itself out. The task now is to muster all our strength for the final day.

“Everyone who's close to the team knows it's been a long and tiring season. We're going into the final game now and we have to pull ourselves together one more time” Müller added.
