Die Mannschaft international insists that the German team wants to win major honours to repay the faith shown in them by the loyal fans, and assured that they will give a massive performance against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Faroe-Islands-c2896.
Bayern Munich star http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Philipp-Lahm-c29929 conceded that the national team will put on a good display for their supporters in the match with Faroe Islands on Friday. The team captain confirmed that his side is more ambitious now and are not
just committed to reach the quarter-finals of the 2014 World Cup, and instead, want to go all the way.
The versatile full-back claimed that even though, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 are placed in an easy group they still face a tough task ahead of them. He asked his side not to be complacent as they are not guaranteed to top their group. The defender
said he is hoping that Die Nationalelf reclaim their World Cup honour of 1990.
"Our aim can no longer be to reach the quarter-finals of a tournament. It is a long, hard road ahead of us, and there are no guarantees, but we want to win the title," Lahm was quoted as saying in an interview.
The head coach Joachim Low will not have Mario Gomez, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Toni-Kroos-c35425 for the important clash. Kroos is out as he is suffering from a pelvic injury. As a result, Borussia Dortmund playmaker Ilkay Gundogan
will replace him in the first team.
Furthermore, the opponents Faroes are not a quality team, they are usually on the end of massive hammerings in the qualifiers, but in the last European campaign they showed a bit of talent.
"We know this is an incredibly strong team we are meeting in the opening round of qualification," said the former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Denmark-c2884 international.
"Germany are one of the best sides in the world, but we will do our best to play the ball and stand up and defend," he finally concluded.
In Friday’s encounter, Germany are tipped to thrash the Faroes comfortably. On the other hand, manager Lars Olsen is wishing to give a memorable performance against the mighty German team.
