    We want to be a dream duo

    Dear friends,
     
    The World Cup only finished a week ago, but it already seems like much longer. My daily football schedule has long caught up with me, with pre-season training for Schalke 04 at the Bad Radkersburg training camp in Austria.
    But the World Cup isn’t all together over. We’re still down two World Cup players, Gerald Asamoah and Mladen Kristajic. Mladen dropped by at training, and we wound him up a bit about Serbia and Montenegro’s pitiful World Cup performance. Even if I’ve long come to terms with the disappointment of not having been a part of the national German squad, I’d still like to share a small story with you that really cheered me up. Mike Hanke, the former Schalke centre forward who now plays at Wolfsburg, rang me up and apologised for the fact that he had been selected for the national squad and I hadn’t. I just told him that he couldn’t do anything about it and not to worry about it. On a human level though, I thought it was a really great gesture that someone who’s having such a good run can still take the time to spare a thought for those who aren’t in such a good situation at the moment. It’s always important to keep your feet on the ground. It’s the way I’m handling things as well.
     
    But back to the training camp: after two victories against Lippstadt and Karlsruhe, we went down to our first defeat against Sigma Olmütz. In the context of the focus of our current training, we didn’t view going down 1:0 to be so bad though. So that our game is faster, our coach, Mirko Slomka, is making us learn a free running style and play with two touch football. So we were preoccupied with concentrating on our new approach, quite apart from the fact that we’re still missing a few of our regular players. Frank Rost was just one of our line up who did not play.
    Another thing I’ve got to do is to get used to playing alongside a new striking partner, Halil Altintop. It goes without saying that given time we’re going to team up amazingly. Despite their relegation, Halil played a brilliant season at Kaiserslautern last year and has already integrated himself into the squad really well. Of course, not everything is running as smoothly as it might, but we’ve got time to get things sorted before the season kicks off. But there’s one thing I’m sure of, and that’s that we’re going to get better with every game so we can become a new dream duo.
     
    All the best,
