Khedira: 'Juve challenge Bayern'
By Football Italia staff
Sami Khedira believes Juventus can upset Bayern Munich in the Champions League. “I’m widening my horizons.”
The German midfielder is preparing for a return to his homeland in next month’s Round of 16.
“These are in or out games and I think we picked the toughest team in the draw,” he told Welt am Sonntag.
“This is a competition we play to win, so it doesn’t matter who we face. We need to be able to beat anyone.
“Bayern are among the best in the world, but we are strong too, even if we needed a little time to get into gear. I am convinced Bayern know we’ll cause them trouble. It’ll be two fantastic nights of football.
“I am very happy in Turin and settled in right away, despite some fitness problems. Now I am finally in good shape and am enjoying my football.
“I live in the city, as I did in Madrid, because you learn so much more about a country and its people than living on the outskirts. I tend to walk a lot too.
“After my years in Madrid I am happy to experience a new culture and widen my horizons.”
Khedira is less impressed with the current Germany set-up only two years after winning the World Cup.
“For decades Germany have been among the favourites for a major tournament, but right now there’s even more pressure. What’s better than beating the world champions? Our opponents will give extra against us.
“We must be honest, in our current condition we cannot win Euro 2016. The performances of the last few months have not been good enough.”
