Netherlands head coach, Louis van Gaal, has heaped praise on the new generation of German players. The former Bayern Munich boss has stressed that Mario Gotze, http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Lukas-Podolski-c22896, Marco Reus, Thomos Muller all have proven their worth at the highest level, and
will certainly give his side a stern test.
The Oranje will battle against Germany in an international friendly game at Amsterdam Arena on Wednesday, November 14, and the Dutch trainer has admitted that it will not be an easy night in Amsterdam for his young and inexperienced side.
“Germany can draw on a wide range of players and new players who all play at Champions League level, so it is not an easy night”, Van Gaal was quoted as saying to journalists in the pre-match press conference.
The 61-year-old tactician, who was appointed as the Flying Dutchmen boss earlier this year by the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Royal-95-c40387 Dutch Football Association (KNVB) following the dismissal of Bert van Marwijk, went on to admit that Die Mannschaft have far more quality in their squad
as compared to his side.
“I know the new generation well. Mario Gotze, Ilkay Gundogan, Lukas Podolski and http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Marco-Reus-c23733 is a great player of the new generation. I know Thomas Muller from Bayern as well. These are not second-class players.
On the contrary, they will be very motivated to prove themselves. This also applies to our team, but to a lesser extent”, Van Gaal concluded.
Gotze, Gundogan, Bender and Reus all were part of the Borussia Dortmund team that played brilliantly against Real Madrid in both of their UEFA Champions League Group D encounters. Muller has been a regular at Bayern Munich, while Podolski has loads of experience
under his belt.
Although, Germany will be missing several of their key players in the upcoming friendly due to injuries, the Oranje boss knows that their current squad has enough quality to give his side a hard time on Wednesday.
