The German national team official is relishing the semi-final tie against the Italians and is confident of a positive result.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Oliver-c28477 Bierhoff, German national team’s manager, claimed that his side has a perfect chance to avenge the defeat they suffered at the hands of Azzurri in the semi-final of the 2006 World Cup. He insisted that Die Mannschaft can
carry on with their sensational form and go on to win the competition.
Italy downed Joachim Low’s team at the last-four stage of the 2006 World Cup in Germany with two extra-time goals from http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 in the final
to become World champions.
Bierhoff feels that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 have a perfect platform to avenge their defeat at the same stage six years ago. He insists that the team has been waiting for this moment for a long time and remained confident that the DFB Eleven will
get the better of the Italians this time around.
“It’s nice to be up against Italy again. German football has been waiting for revenge for some time. This time, though, we will be the favourites and today we are ahead of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The former AC Milan striker predicted that it will be a brilliant encounter between two of the best teams in Europe. He warned his side against complacency and admitted that winning four games in the competition thus far does not
mean that Germany can win the competition.
The chief stressed that there is still a long way to go and is looking forward to a difficult fixture, considering Italy’s brilliant defensive performances throughout the tournament thus far.
“It will be a well-balanced semi-final and a beautiful one, but we are aware that we will be able to win it. Saying that, Italy boss Cesare Prandelli is working really well,” he concluded.
Die Nationalelf will take on either http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Portugal-c2984 if they reach the final. They will have to get the better of the Italians before that which will by no means be a walk in the park.
