Apr 20, 2013 10:27:00 AM The Germany global is is high in respect for Manchester City striker Edin Dzeko and eagerly expecting a difficult semi-final link against the Spanish leaders Both sides formerly met in the group stages of the opposition, with BVB earning 2-1 at home and recording a 2-2 draw in Madrid, and Hummels has distressed Dortmund discovered from their previous activities about the significance of maintaining the ball. "Ball person will be a important issue against Real Madrid," Hummels was quoted as saying on the state Fifa site. "I remember our match at the Santiago Bernabeu during the party period. In the 2nd half we didn't have the ball for longer than twenty seconds before it was lost by us again, and then it is really difficult against them." The centre-back then went on to go over his most difficult opposition so far and revealed that Manchester City's Edin Dzeko is the adversary who caused him the most difficulty. Hummels took on Dzeko twice in the group levels of the Champions League, with the Bosnia international failing woefully to score on both occasions, however the 24-year-old thinks the combination of ability and power makes Dzeko a challenging enemy. "Dzeko is a very good striker," he explained. "When I played against him it was so difficult since he's powerful and so tall but also he's this type of good strategy and wonderful get a handle on. This causes it to be quite difficult to play against him."
