Bayern's heavy schedule and tough matches within the UEFA Champions League, the Bundesliga, and the German Cup is ongoing.  Bayern's next Bundesliga game is against Eintracht Frankfurt on Tuesday.  This game is of particular importance to Bayern's tilte contenders.

Ali Karimi is not used to such difficult games being played consecutively within a short timespan.  His efforts throughout these demading games and training sessions are directed towards self-improvement and injury preventions.

In regards to the game versus Hannover, Ali Karimi commented: "Every game has a different atmosphere here.  We could have defeated our opponents with a high scoreline at home, but their tight and single-sided defending thwarted us from achieving our goal."

Karimi continued: "In such games where the fear of counter-attacks exists, the three points and maintaining the result becomes of more importance to the coach.  In light of the numerous requests that I have received from my fans through email requesting me to perform more individual moves on the field, I must say that entering this new atmosphere gives me new option but to focus my efforts into executing the coach's demands."  Karimi's reaction to being named in the starting eleven was: "As I've mentioned previously on numerous occasions, out of the midfield players, I am the most unknown and inexperienced Bundesliga player.  Magath selects his starting team based on the games that we have in hand and the type of system that he wants to carry out.  No one really knows the starting eleven until an hour before kick-off.  Just as most media had predicted that I would be on the bench,  Magath selected me to start."

Ali Karimi concluded: "In the end, the result is important.  I am part of this team whether I am on the field or on the bench and I thank God that we have been undefeated so far."
