The Wolfsburg manager believes Joachim Low should deploy more creative players against a team like Greece who like to defend.
Germany face http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 responsible
for the mess their country is in.
This crisis is bound to motivate Fernando Santos’ men, and will add spice to this otherwise dull encounter. The Ethniki are known to play a defensive game, they will sit deep in their half and will let the opposition have the ball.
Magath thinks in order to break them down Joachim Low has to make a few changes to the side that eliminated http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753. Although he believes there is nothing wrong with that but in his opinion that line up lacks the attributes
needed to break down a plucky Greek side.
He suggests it is crucial to go with players who possess excellent dribbling and passing skill. The Wolfsburg coach specifically mentions Ozil, the player he believes is capable of unlocking the tightest of the defences. The 58-year
old has also urged Low to go with Mario Gotze, Miroslav Klose and Andre Schurrle.
"[What is] Necessary is strong dribbling, attackers and midfielders who can pass, players like Mesut Ozil who can play in tight spaces and can make the most of few situations. We have players like that in our squad, who so far
have been on the bench; http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Miroslav-Klose-c26049, Andre Schurrle or Mario Gotze,” he is quoted as saying in an interview.
The former Schalke tactician believes the Germans will to utilise their slick passing and ball control if they want to win the game on the ground, because http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-c13609 Santos’ men are good in the air and can hurt them.
"The game will be won on the ground. The Greek central defenders are some of the strongest in the air in the tournament and we will not have a chance with crosses,” he added.
The Mannschaft cannot afford to underestimate their opponents, as they have proved back in 2004 that they are capable of going against the odds to lift the trophy. The match will be a highly contested encounter and will not just
be decided on football ability.
