Schweinsteiger predicts Bayern success

Bayern Munich midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger is confident that the Bavarians will have a successful second half of the season.

Bayern currently sit top of the Bundesliga table with a three-point lead over Schalke and Borussia Dortmund, while they are still in the race to win the Champions League and DFB Pokal as well.

And Schweinsteiger feels Bayern have what it takes to end the campaign on a high.

“Provided we stay as focussed and keep it as tight as we have done for long stretches so far, 2011-12 could be a very successful season,” Schweinsteiger said.

“But we need to work on dominating matches for the full 90 minutes. Twelve consecutive games without conceding a goal was very good indeed, and that should be our benchmark.”

“I’m 100 percent convinced we’ll have an excellent second half to the season.”

Bayern’s first game after the winter break is the Bundesliga match away against Borussia Moenchengladbach on January 20.
