Germany coach Joachim Low unfazed by loss against USA – Football news
Germany head coach, Joachim Low faced defeat at the hands of his former superior Jurgen Klinsmann over the weekend, but he took good notes from the international friendly.
Germany national team trainer, Low has stressed that his side’s 4-3 loss to USA on Sunday has not disappointed him. Die Mannschaft did not have the services of Bayern Munich and Borussia Dortmund players for the game against Klinsmann’s side as Germany’s
nine match unbeaten run ended as they conceded four goals.
“I think it was worth it in all respects. With main players absent... I think we had chosen the right squad for this trip. They were very motivated, very enthusiastic and if you ask each and every one of them they will confirm that they learned an awful
lot,” the former assistant coach was quoted as saying in an interview.
Low was assistant manager to Klinsmann when the latter was the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 boss. He supported his defenders and shot-stopper after the loss and insisted that the match proved to be healthy for his inexperienced side. He further added that it was good for the
team in various aspects.
“I'm not worried about the performance of the centre-backs. We only had two to three training sessions in that combination, whereas usually [Mats] Hummels and [Jerome] Boateng rule supreme in that line of four,” the Germany head coach finally concluded.
He claimed that even though the team did not have its best players, they did pretty well in the end. He stressed that the central defenders were not to be blamed for the flurry of goals. Moreover, he revealed that he only conducted a couple of practice sessions.
Normally, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mats-Hummels-c24767 and Jerome Boateng occupy the central duty. In addition, he backed custodian Marc-Andre ter Stegen after he scored an own-goal. He claimed he got very unlucky as he is generally a very solid and good keeper. Stegen made a lot of saves
in the second half. Therefore, he chose to stick with him for the whole game.
In addition, Low added that the team looks good and they are expected to do well in the upcoming matches.
