German national team manager Joachim Low wants to keep experimenting with new talent
German national team manager Joachim Low has stated that he wants to keep experimenting with new talent in the upcoming International Friendly matches against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753. He insisted that there is some exceptional talent in the country and the players should be given a chance to strengthen the depth of the side.
Die Mannschaft will take on Euro 2012 hosts Ukraine this Friday in Kiev in first of the two Friendlies to be played in a week’s time. The second fixture will take place in Bremen against Netherlands on Tuesday as the teams prepare for the European Championships to be held next year in Ukraine and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Poland-c2983.
Low claimed that he wants to fulfil his promise by giving the young players enough chances to prove themselves at the highest stage. He admitted that the absence of players like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marco-Reus-c23733 through injury has made it a little easier for him to name some new players in the squad.
“I want to keep to my word when it comes to experimentation. Of course, I had expected to have [Miroslav] Klose and [Marco] Reus, so a few plans were thrown away. There will be some tinkering. I hope that both return to the team on Saturday,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The tactician also admitted that he has not yet decided on the starting line-up but hinted that Mesut Ozil and Mario Gotze will both start the match. He added that the Real Madrid man will play in a more attacking role to constantly be a threat to the opposition. He stated that Ozil has more experience and can take on defenders, which makes him a natural goal scorer.
“The game plans are not yet complete. Tentatively, however, the plan is that in Ukraine we may start with Gotze and Ozil. Ozil should play a little ahead of Gotze, because [Ozil] can pull the strings while further forward. I'll have to talk to them more,” the manager concluded.
