'Do you think Schweinsteiger still can do it?' - Kids ask St Pauli boss to sign German star

Supporters can be a little ambitious with their desires for their clubs, and Ewald Liener fielded an interesting request from a hopeful fan

Bastian Schweinsteiger is settling nicely into his new surroundings at Chicago Fire, but some St Pauli fans want to see the German star back in his native land.

A return to Germany is unlikely in the immediate future as Schweinsteiger gets to grips with Major League Soccer, but that hasn't stopped young supporters of the Freibeuter from dreaming.

When St Pauli coach Ewald Lienen had some 'technical discussions' with kids, one of them asked him to bring the former Manchester United and Bayern Munich midfielder to Millerntor-Stadion.
