Intro:

Bayern Munich pair Mario Gotze and David Alaba take part in a driving challenge in Austria and talk about their aims for the restart of the Bundesliga season this weekend.

Script:

As Premier League players struggle with a hectic schedule and the FA Cup's giant killers, Bayern Munich players have been enjoying a driving challenge at a ski resort in Austria. There were few of these smiles at Stamford Bridge or the Etihad last weekend. This is the final week of Germany's winter break, which started before Christmas. Mario Gotze was asked what goals he has for his return.

"A lot - of course, we want to be very successful on the pitch again. We have prepared well in the winter break and we are aiming high - naturally, it would be nice if we could manage to win all three competitions. "

On Pep Guardiola he said "He has now been our manager for a year and a half and I think he has taken each of us forward individually and taken us forward as a team. We already celebrated big successes last year, and if possible, we naturally want to top that this year. Of course his playing philosophy is very, very good for us, for each individual player, and everyone is looking to improve. But I think that is the major aim that each individual has for themself and that we have as a team - simply to improve day after day and then, of course, when the time comes, to be able to perform. "

If Bayern can negotiate their way to a win at Wolfsburg in their first game back. They'll be 14 points clear at the top, you imagine the smiles will be even broader.
