The central defender believes that the former three-time World cup and European championships winning side was not impressive at Euro 2012 and need to improve considerably.
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mats-Hummels-c24767 is in admission that Germany should work hard and become well equipped to challenge the biggest teams at the 2014 World Cup in Brazil. The centre-back suggested that at the present form, they cannot compete against
the top teams.
The favourites at the European competition were knocked out in the semi-finals by http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 and the former Bayern Munich youth conceded that the German national team need to improve a lot and be well prepared for the final showdown
in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858.
Hummels was not happy with his side’s outings at this summer’s Euros and thinks that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 are not expected to defeat the best teams in the crucial fixtures or winning the World Cup. Moreover, he agreed that the team needs to
improve and said that they were not convincing in the Euros other than the Greece match.
"With the performances we gave at the Euros, I don't think we have a realistic chance of beating the top nations in the decisive games and becoming world champions. We have got to get a lot better. Apart from the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Greece-c2908 game, we
were always taking the tempo out of matches," he was quoted saying in an interview.
The 23-year-old player reflected back at their defeat against the Italian team and concluded that their careful mentality lost them the match, although he was also at fault by committing a blunder and letting http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Mario-Balotelli-c23937 capitalise.
The Borussia Dortmund man emphasised that Italy were more creative and adventurous unlike the cautious approach of his side. He even said that they were the second best team in the encounter and were bound to lose even without
his error.
"The big difference was that Italy took far more risks while we placed huge emphasis on being cautious. You have got to recognise that we were the worst team in that game and we would have lost even without my mistake," he concluded.
Hummels made his debut for German national team in May 2010 against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Malta-c2952 and since then has cemented his place in the starting berth as a result of rock solid performances.
