The striker has expressed his disappointment on being left out of the national squad for the European championship to be held in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032 next month.
Joachim Low announced his final 23-man squad for the European championship on Monday, leaving out four players from the original 27 named earlier this month.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sven-Bender-c34386 were all left out of the final squad.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Cacau-c8235 admitted that he is saddened on being left out of the final squad for the European championship next month. The striker stated that he had set a target of playing in the Euro 2012 after the third place finish with Germany
at the World Cup 2010 in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/South-Africa-c757.
The Stuttgart attacker stressed that he knew it will be hard for him to fight with some of the best players in the country if he had to be named in the 23-man squad. He insisted that his performances for the club had also not been
impressive which could have been the main reason of the decision.
“It was my big goal after the World Cup in South Africa (in 2010) also to be part of Euro 2012 with the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 national team. I knew from the beginning that the competition for the 23 places would be hard and tight,” he was quoted
as saying in an interview.
On the other hand, the player wished the team all the best for the competition and admitted that Germany have a great chance. He added that Die Mannschaft are one of the favourites to win Euro 2012 and is hopeful that the team
is able to achieve that feat.
“I gave it my best shot. Like the younger players, I am also disappointed, but I still feel part of this team and wish them from the bottom of my heart that they play a great European Championships,” he concluded.
Cacau has thus far made 23 international appearances for Germany and has scored six goals in the process. His last goal came against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/France-c2899 in February this year.
