Mark Terry-Lush interviewing Mike Hanke, July 2nd, Kit Reveal of Hannover 96 (15:30 local time)

MTL: Mike, you’re wearing the new UA Create boots today,I know you wore them last season what do you like about them?

MH: They are very light, comfortable and give me a great touch on the ball. Not only do they look cool, they perform fantastic.

MTL: What are your feelings and hopes for the new season?

MH: I am hoping to play better than last season and for the team to come together and perform as we would like.  I am looking forward to playing alongside  our goalkeeper, he’s a great player, a real star in the team. I’m confident that we can do better this season, perhaps the new boots will bring me luck.

MTL: Do you fancy your chances getting a place in Europe?

MH:  [laughs] We have to play well here [Bundesliga] first and that’s what I am focused on.  All I can do is play well and aim for a place in the starting 11 each week.

MTL: You played for Germany in 2006, do you have hopes that you will be selected for World Cup 2010 in South Africa?

MH: Of course I would like to play for my country, but it’s not important to me right now, my focus is on Hannover96 and doing the best I can for the new season.  Of course if I play well anything can happen, there is plenty of time.  Next year is next year, we’ll see what happens.
