“This is the most important match at this moment”.
Louis van Gaal has given his backing to Anthony Martial despite his poor goalscoring form, insisting the Manchester United striker needs time to be successful.
But Schurrle – who joined Wolfsburg from Chelsea in February – said: “It’s an extremely lovely game and that’s why we’re extremely motivated”.
“If we can get it, then psychologically it will be good for us because we’ll get a little bit more space”, said the 25-year-old Germany worldwide. “I’m convinced we can change it”.
“That’s always hard when you’re playing for a team like Manchester United, because the expectations are always high. I know that. But you can not think too much about that part”, he said.
The Red Devils average only 1.33 goals per game in the Premier League this season, the worst ratio of all the teams in the top six.
“You can win, and when we are there we shall try to do everything but you also have to be realistic”.
This game will have big implications on the manager as well since getting eliminated in the group stages will be unacceptable for the board and this may result in Van Gaal having big some problems.
“You never know for sure, but I have the experience as a manager that the goals will come, because when you are creating chances in the end you will finish them”.
“Normally we create more chances than our opponent but you have to finish because football is scoring goals, but that’s also the important aspect of football”.
‘We are the first ones who want to win and to go back to a good streak, and we know that the only way to get there is by sticking together.
“I believe that in every match we have played he could have played better”. “Because we have also won at home [against Wolfsburg]”.
