Schweinsteiger sets sights on first MLS Cup Playoff appearance: "We have to perform"
The man has won the World Cup, the UEFA Champions League, the FA Cup, the DFB Pokal, and eight Bundesliga titles, but Chicago Fire midfielder Bastian Schweinsteiger enters Wednesday night’s Knockout Round match with the New York Red Bulls (7:30 p.m. CT | UniMas, FS1) with the same amount of MLS Cup Playoff experience as all but a handful of his teammates: none.
Schweinsteiger appeared 24 times with 23 starts for the Men In Red in the regular season, but has been in-and-out of the lineup after suffering a leg injury during an early September trip to Montreal. He trained Monday in hopes of featuring in Wednesday night's Knockout Round matchup.
