The German national team manager has included two youngsters into his provisional squad for Euro 2012 ahead of the experienced duo.
German national team manager, Joachim Low, has included young Schalke midfielder Julian Draxler and Borussia Monchengladbach goalkeeper Marc-Andre ter Stegen into his provisional squad for the upcoming European championship. Low
has ignored experienced duo http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Ukraine-c3032 next month.
The tactician was impressed with the way Draxler performed during the recently concluded Bundesliga season and led Schalke to a third place finish. The teenager managed to bag two goals this season including the one in his side’s
last game against Werder Bremen which the http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Royal-95-c40387 Blues won 3-2.
Low mused that Draxler is an outstanding talent and will be of great help in the upcoming competition. He also justified his decision, saying that it is about time when the youngsters need to be groomed and the ones who deserve
to play in the national side have been honoured. The boss thought that the duo will be highly encouraged with their inclusion and urged them to train hard to have any chance of being picked in the final squad on May 29.
While speaking during the press conference, the 52-year-old further added:
"[Draxler] has enormous potential. We think he will develop and are convinced that he can help us, despite his young age. We calculated that http://www.senore.com/Football-soccer/Manuel-Neuer-c23424 would miss the majority of our preparations and we wanted to have three goalkeepers
for that period.”
On the other hand, Low mentioned that the Gladbach shot stopper also had an outstanding Bundesliga campaign and deserves a place in the national team. However, he clarified that the duo will have to justify their selection to book
a place in the final 23-men squad.
“Ter Stegen has had an outstanding season and has performed well, despite being so young. The final decision on who goes will come on May 29," Low concluded.
