The midfielders expressed their delight at beating http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Greece-c2908 to qualify for the semi-finals of the 2012 European Championship.
The Mannschaft comfortably brushed aside a stubborn Greek side. It took the Germans a while to score the first goal, when they eventually took the lead through http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Fernando-c13609 Santos’ side equalised from a swift counter
attack.
Joachim Low’s side replied with three goals to blunt the Greek threat. They convincingly defeated the Ethniki to book their place in the last four of the European Championships.
The Nationalelf side consisted of two new faces, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marco-Reus-c23733 and Andre Schurrle made their first appearance of the Euro 2012. Both attackers impressed as the Germans hammered their opponents. Reus scored marked his first appearance
with well struck volley and give his side the breathing space.
The Borussia Dortmund starlet stressed on the importance of clinching the semi-final spot, which he believes his side deserved after, thrashing the Hellas and remaining unbeaten.
“It was our big goal to reach the next round and in the end we won deservedly,” he is quoted as saying in an interview.
The midfielder was reportedly unhappy at not being played consistently by his coach. He revealed he held talk with Joachim Low who told him to keep working hard and you will be granted a place in the team. The 23-year old did as
his coach told him to and got his chance.
“We had some talks with the coach in the last days. He told me to keep going and that I would get my chance. I kept working and today I got my chance," he added.
Real Madrid midfielder http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Sami-Khedira-c32325 reserved special praise for the Mannschaft strikers, who in his opinion were fantastic. The speed and the movement of the German attack was too much for the Greek defenders. The midfielder believes
his sides next opponents will be no pushovers, as England and Italy are strong teams, but he thinks the Nationalelf can beat them if they play with focus and determination
"We are very happy, that is obvious. We put more speed into our game. At the end it was deserved. We created a lot of chances and I think, it was a very good performance. Italy or http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/England-c749, that won't be easy. But if we live up
to our potential, it is very hard to beat us," Khedira said.
The Semi-final will surely be a treat for neutrals and the Germans will have to be at their best. Their finishing was not up to the mark and will have to work on it because they will not get this many chances against England or
