Van Bommel: ‘Focus on winning, not on contracts’

(GSM) – A possible contract extension at Bayern München isn’t on Mark van Bommel’s mind. Last year, the captain of the Bavarian giants signed a deal which expires in June 2010.

“Six players at the club have an expiring contract and I am one of those players. However, nobody should be thinking about contract renewals at the moment,” Van Bommel told Bild.

“We’re in an extremely important part of the season.

“We are fighting for the Bundesliga title, can still win the DFB Pokal and face Fiorentina in the first knockout round of the Champions League. That’s what we should focus on for now.”

32-year-old Van Bommel thinks Bayern is strong enough to compete for every trophy. “I feel like we can go a long way in all competitions.

“Our current selection is the best team we’ve had since I joined Bayern in 2006. We have never been this attack minded and dominant before.”
