http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 manager Joachim Low wary of Ukraine threat- International Friendly news
German national team manager Joachim Low is wary of the threat Ukraine can cause and admits that the team will have to play out of their skins if they want to down the opposition in their own backyard. He added that it will be
good that Germany will play in Ukraine as they are one of the hosts of next year’s European Championships and it will help in getting used to the conditions.
Die Mannschaft will take on http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032 on Friday in the first of the two International Friendlies they play in a week’s time. The match will be played in Kiev at the Olimpiysky National Sports Complex, the same place where the final
of the Euro 2012 will be played.
Low claimed that it would be a very good experience for his side to play in the stadium where the final of the competition will be held next year and that it would be warm-up for the tournament. He stated that Germany will prove
their worth if they win against Ukraine on Friday as they will have terrific support and the fans will be backing their team.
The tactician insisted that a good display in the conditions would mean that the team is a genuine contender to win the Championships next year.
“Naturally the fact that we're going to be playing in the same stadium where the Euro 2012 final will be held was a short discussion point in our meeting. It is important to take on Ukraine, having already played in Gdansk against
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Poland-c2983, so that we could gain experience in both of the countries set to host Euro 2012,” he was quoted as saying in an interview.
The manager warned his side against complacency and added that a great qualifying campaign would not necessarily mean an impressive performance in the next few matches.
“We can't make any mistakes or sit back on our strong Euro 2012 qualifying campaign. We have to keep working hard as we refine our systems,” he concluded.
Germany will take on Ukraine on Friday before locking horns against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Netherlands-c753 in one of the most awaited matches at the Weserstadion in Bremen next week.
