Former Germany international, Michael Ballack, who has had a few high profile bust-ups with the Joachim Low, believes he is still the man to coach Germany.
Prior to their exit from the 2012 European Championships, the Mannschaft enjoyed an impressive run of 15 consecutive wins in competitive matches. The DFB eleven made easy work of the Group of Death, where they were up against two
tournament favourites http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Greece-c2908 by scoring four past them to reach the semi-finals.
In the last of four of the European Championships, they were up against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926. Having never beaten them in a major tournament, the pressure was on the Nationalelf. The hype around the fixture and the constant talk of breaking hoodoo
must have terrorised the young German side.
Despite being tagged as the favourites Joachim Low’s men faltered against the Azzurri, looked like the shadows of themselves and failed to emulate their form from the group stages and were humbled by the Italians.
After the loss to Cesare Prandelli’s men, there were reports circulating in the press that after yet another trophy-less tournament Low might resign from his position or his contract might be terminated by the German Football Association.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Michael-Ballack-c25270 however, believes that the Former Fenerbahce manager is the right man to lead Germany. He thinks the DFB eleven head coach should not resign from the hot seat.
The former Bayern Leverkusen midfielder insists he is hugely disappointed at how the team’s impressive run in the Euro 2012 ended. The 35-year old reckons that despite its quality the team is still lacking something that they have
not managed to win a trophy after reaching three semi-finals consecutively.
"I still think that Joachim Low is the right man to be coach. He shouldn't resign now. I won't make a speech about the Euros now. Given the team's quality, it's disappointing. Something is missing if you don't manage to get the
title after 2008 and 2010," he is quoted as saying in an interview.
The midfielder partially holds Joachim Low responsible for the team’s downfall. He believes the changes made by the 52-year old in the quarter finals disrupted the team’s momentum. The changes certainly made the players think that
they performed badly in the previous match.
"It was true that Joachim Low hardly changed the team in the first round and then considerably in the crucial knock-out games," he added. "This certainly lost the some rhythm, and uncertainty arose,"

wing and Ozil in the middle.
The 52-year old was too busy thinking about ways to stop Pirlo and overlooked his own team in the process.
