Die Mannschaft boss has decided to experiment with his side as he is changing the current formation for the clash with Faroe Islands on Friday, with Thomas Muller and Per Mertesacker back in the playing eleven.
Germany national team head coach Joachim Low confirmed that he will change the team formation for his side’s 2014 World Cup qualifier against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Faroe-Islands-c2896 on Friday, with the inclusion of another creative midfielder in place of
a deep central player.
Schweinsteiger was rested for the qualifying match as he struggled through injuries the whole of last year and was not fully fit. His replacement was expected to be his Bayern Munich team-mate Kroos but he was also ruled out of
the tie as he suffered a hip injury. Therefore, Low had a chance to solidify his attack with the addition of a playmaker.
As a result, the tactician left his previous 4-2-3-1 formation and used a more attacking strategy with Mario Gotze claiming his spot in the first team, as a second striker to hammer the Nordic minnows and to end their recent poor
form with a convincing victory.
The change in approach came in because of the disappointing semi-final defeat by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Argentina-c2841. The coach also suggested earlier that they will play more pressing
and passing game like http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Spain-c3011.
Moreover, there were changes made in the positions of the players. Lahm was asked to play his preferred position at right-back with Holger Badstuber taking his captain’s spot at the opposite side of defence. http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mats-Hummels-c24767 retained
his place and was partnered by the impressive http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Per-Mertesacker-c29680 in the heart of their defence.
Jerome Boateng was left out as a result and the expected starter http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 team after a span of two years.
Upfront, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Miroslav-Klose-c26049 returned to first team action as Mario Gomez injured his ankle in a pre-season game and has not played since.
