The Germany internationals were not particularly happy with their side's display last night and believed they were unlucky not to score in the second half.
Throughout the tournament Joachim Low’s side were lauded for their impressive displays. Having missed out on a trophy on many occasions, the Germans were tipped to end their 16 year trophy drought.
The much fancied Mannschaft side eased past most of their opponents which included the likes of http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Greece-c2908 in the last eight. Confidence in the Nationalelf camp was sky
high and the many had expected them to defeat Italy.
When the two sides met in Warsaw, it was Cesare Prandelli’s men who came out on top. Despite being labelled as underdogs the Italians gave Joachim Low’s men a footballing lesson. The midfield trio of Andrea Pirlo, De Rossi and
http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Philipp-Lahm-c29929 and co.
The Bayern Munich full-back admitted that the defeat was hard to take, and they could have avoided it if they had not made those defensive errors. Lahm knows how much potential his side have and that makes the defeat even harder
to swallow.
"This is very bitter. We made dumb errors and conceded our goals. It is bitter because our team have so much potential," Lahm is quoted as saying in an interview.
The http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Germany-c2904 international reckons his side’s best chances came in the second half but they failed to finish them. He conceded that his side did not have luck on their side and that is very important when one is playing Italy.
"In the second half, we gave our best efforts. If you are behind against Italy and have no luck, it is bad," he added.
Another Bayern player in the thick of things was http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Toni-Kroos-c35425, the midfielder believes his side shipped out two sloppy goals and could have easily prevented them. He also thinks his side matched Italy and created enough chances in
the first-half to come to level terms.
"Both goals were easily defendable. But at the end it was not enough. We did not play worse than http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Italy-c2926 and we had a lot of chances, especially in the first half," Kroos is quoted as saying in an interview.
Philipp Lahm’s analysis of the performance was a bit accurate than hid Bayern teammate. In reality Italy’s midfield trio ran their German counterparts ragged, most of the time they were seen chasing shadows.
