Die Mannschaft goalkeeping coach has commended the performances of the star player, who has been in great run of form in the domestic league and is very close to a national team call-up.
Germany national side assistant coach Andreas Kopke has praised Hamburg’s Rene Adler, stating that he is the favourite to be selected in the squad for the 2014 World Cup in http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Brazil-c2858. He suggested that the player has done exactly
what the national team wants from their team members.
The 1996 European Championship winner stated that he was pleased with the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 international. The shot-stopper has been in fine form and is expected to make the next team squad. Kopke maintained that Die Nationalelf always select
the top three custodians for the national team.
He further added that Adler can certainly make it in the team if he continues his exceptional performances. The coach conceded that Rene’s concentration is really good, he gives good vibes and is very commanding in pressure situations.
He has also improved as a player and talks more with his defenders now than at Bayer Leverkusen.
"Our duty is to find the best three [German] goalkeepers for World Cup 2014 in Brazil. Why should Rene [Adler] in his current form not have a chance?" he added.
"Rene can focus on point like hardly anyone else. He has a calm and concentrated aura, but at the same time he is much more outspoken and certain than he used to be. I noticed that he directs [his team] much more at Hamburg than
he used to do at Leverkusen," he said.
"Rene embodies exactly what we like to see from a goalkeeper in our national team," he mused.
The 27-year-old was given the first team berth after Euro 2008 when former http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Jens-Lehmann-c18297 hung up his boots. Nevertheless, he suffered a rib injury and lost his spot in the side. He could not even make the 2010
World Cup squad after that.
Kopke claimed that before the shot stopper got injured, he was on top of his game and was exceptional in national team’s clash against http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Russia-c2991 in 2008, despite being slightly injured.
