Joachim Löw: "We are getting closer to Spain" – La Liga News
German coach, Joachim Löw, believes that his team has made significant progress over the last year and are now "closer to Spain" by the standards of FIFA World Cup 2010 or Euro 2008.
Low was interviewed by football magazine Kicker, where he voiced his opinions about the evolution of Die Mannschaft over the last year and a half.
"Clearly we have improved, we have made progress in the game and that is crucial when it comes to playing against Spain," Low said in the interview.
Löw added that the only way to play http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Vicente-c36001 del Bosque’s men is to play at their level. You have to fight for the ball and make it talk for the limited time you have on it.
The German coach was criticised for his approach against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/South-Africa-c757, and stated that playing negative football against La Roja will not result in a positive result.
"Many make the mistake of thinking that they can survive against Spain with increased aggressiveness and seeking more duels for the ball. That way is completely wrong. They can only win if they have the same level soccer," Löw said giving his views on holding
the world cup winners.
German fans will be happy with the way the national team has performed since the culmination of the world cup. Nationalmannschaft have managed to perform consistently at a high level.
They have showed their ability to come back into tough games, taking the match to their opponents to get favourable results.
To illustrate the latter, Low pointed to the friendly against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032: Germany rallied from two goals down, which in his opinion "would not have been so easy a year and a half ago."
