New Delhi: It\u2019s one of the most anticipated matches between an international football club and a country who is still trying to find its place in the international football arena. Camp Qatar is the place where the FC Bayern Munich\u2019s players are getting warmed up for the second half of the Bundesliga, but they will also have Delhi in their mind where they are set to play against India at the Audi Football Summit<\/a> on January 10.<\/p>\n

Football has the uncanny ability to make even strangers bond over a brilliant 90-minute. The Germans are already aware of the contribution that Bhaichung Bhutia<\/a> has made single-handedly to Indian football. At an interaction here after training, Bayern captain Philipp Lahm said, \u201cAt FC Bayern, we would like to contribute to the growth of Indian football. It is a great idea to play in Delhi.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

French international and star winger in the Bayern outfit, Franck Ribery<\/a> is looking forward to his maiden trip to India. The 28-year-old Ribery said, \u201cFootball has taken me to places, which I would not have gone otherwise. I look forward to add India to that list.\u201d<\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/p>\n

Star striker Thomas Muller, who had been to India earlier, is the \u2018official\u2019 guide for the trip, joked some of his team-mates. This will be Muller\u2019s first tour to the country after he shot into the limelight in the 2010 FIFA World Cup<\/a>. The winner of the 2010 World Cup \u2018Golden boot\u2019 award said, \u201cA lot has happened since I visited India with the FCB second team in January 2009. I look forward to renew my ties with your country.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Bayern camp is also upbeat about the return of their star midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger after his lay-off due to a collarbone injury. The 27-year-old Schweinsteiger is one of the most sought-after sports icon in Germany. It\u2019s quite evident that the Bayern vice-captain is raring to be in action soon. Schweinsteiger is equally thrilled about taking the flight to Delhi on January 9.\u00a0 \u2018Basti\u2019 said, \u201cI am returning from an injury, so the India match is crucial to see how I have recovered ahead of a hectic second phase of the season.\u201d Another star in the midfield, Arjen Robben shares his aim for their Indian fans. Standing tall at six-feet, Robben said, \u201cI know you love your cricket, but for 90 minutes next week we hope to show you some quality football.\u201d<\/p>\n
