Kuranyi: We Can Win The League

Kuranyi grabbed a brace against Hannover at the weekend, to continue the Königsblauen’s great start to the new campaign.  They had already beaten Atletico Madrid in the Champions League and FC Homburg in the German Cup.


Thoughts are already turning to the league title, but the German international striker is not getting carried away.  
“We can be happy with the start we have made, but we can’t celebrate yet- we still have 33 games to go.We can be champions though.We are strong enough and the team have started the season well." he said.

“The squad is strong.  We lost Jefferson Farfan and Orlando Engelaar, then Jermaine Jones, but it showed that those who didn’t play on Wednesday were not down."

Kuranyi has handed a lot of the credit for the Königsblauen’s positive start to new trainer Fred Rutten.
 
“The trainer has his own philosophy.  We want to fight less and combine more.  It takes time, but against Hannover a few things came together.  We were not only effective, but played nice football too."


Kuranyi will be hoping to continue his early season form for Germany on Wednesday as the national side take on Belgium in Nürnberg.
